IF I INSTALL GRAPHENE CAN I USE NORMAL APPS LIKE MAPS, WHATSAPP, YOUTUBE ?

Yep

ANY GOOD TUTORIAL?

LOW IQ EH?

This is a cool method but switching from iOS to android is not worth it IMO, linux phone though...

Call me an idiot but google software scarred me from chromeos (even now)

Sure, but if that's your fear linux alone won't save you. You have to fight for an opensource hardware. Otherwise any chip can have your malicious code inside of it and the OS won't even know.

Yeah fr

Android is Linux lol wtf

Android is google junk that uses linux

Do me a favor, download an ios app straight from a pgp verified repository source and install it without the app store.

🀣🀣🀣

Use altstore

Here lies one of the few Apple users on Nostr doing it correctly.

I recommend migrating over to SideStore down the line to break the PC server dependency.

Maybe, enabling wireguard to their servers to sign is meh.

I believe is is spelled android.

Do me a favor and keep iFruitcakes like nostr:npub1chakany8dcz93clv4xgcudcvhnfhdyqutprq2yh72daydevv8zasmuhf02 out of your Android community

*our Android community

It's worth if all you want to do is to be free to install your own apps and not pay Apple's 30% tax on everything.

Apple is a shitcoin, fiat company. They want to control everything and force you to only do things their way and to only buy their approved products. I use to do support for them. I will never give them a single cent or sat of my money.

It works but no frills. I tried for 2.5 years. Back on the Apple plantation. Sigh.

Curious, which frills did you not have?

No car solution. CarPlay, android auto requires being on the plantation.

Maps are horrible. No good solutions

We have had Android Auto since December 30th,, you can find the usage guide here:

https://grapheneos.org/usage#android-auto

Organic Maps is a good open maps app with an Android Auto preview as well if that helps!

Horrible how they force you to do it.

At some point UX and convenience trump privacy

I’m mean, if u want real privacy you do not carry an LTE / 5G device in your pocket anywhere

My next choiceπŸ‘ŒπŸ«‘

Remember when everyone was larping on how PWAs were the way to go?

On how iOS was fine because the EU would force Apple to allow alternative App Stores?

How things turned out 🀣

Keep thinking Android is no good because "muh Google" while ignoring actual freedom tools.

Keep a cheap taped up normy phone in a Faraday bag in a drawer for the few intrusive apps you can not miss. Like WhatsApp and banking maybe.

For all the other apps there are far superior open source alternatives to use on your beautiful google-free GrapheneOS phone.

I just reinstalled Obtanium on Pixel6a running Graphene, and then Amethyst from yr recent post. Problem is Amethyst still not working. Shows I am following my people, but no names, no feed, nothing... Any ideas? Worked great at the beginning when it was first released, but last few months its unusable.

Thoughts on lineageOS?

GrapheneOS has limited hardware compatibility unfortunately.

Never tried :(
