It's android with most of the apps you want. It's like a super hardened version of Android. But it has its draw backs not using any google services

How does that brick the Ux?
Just lots of random stuff doesn't work properly, phone can get annoying and frustrating to use.
I've been on it for two years and seems to be worse right now.
Are you running the Graphime google play services so it restricted like an app?
Yep play sandbox
Me too and I only have a couple of apps that don't work
I would be fascinated if you would reach out and let ne knoe what issues you have? I've been running GrapheneOS since the Pixel 3 release.
The OS has never regressed, the experience has only become better, more flexible, increased app compatibility and so on.
How many of your issues have you addressed in the community portals etc.
If anyone wants to ask any direct questions please let me know. Happy to answer.
Overall I'm happy with Graphine OS. One of the problem apps I have is Office 365 and inTune and as that is my employer managing the apps I'm not surprised its an issue.
