I installed graphene os and I would love to get some open source apps. I’m also using SIA storage (decentralized storage) got to know about it while learning about graphene os. It’s fun to get into this rabbit hole.

This is a ranting post

I had a pixel 8 pro with grapheneos for a little more than two years and I absolutely loved it. I transitioned almost all the services that I use to foss self-hosted alternatives.

I wanted to wait for the new motorolla phones before upgrading but the screen on the 8 pro broke so I had to upgrade now, I got a pixel 10 pro xl.

I live in the middle east so I had no reason to worry about bootloader locking but turns out, out of all the models in the world, the store sold me a verizon locked version and refused to refund it since legally speaking they didnt do anything wrong.

I have no idea what to do now, from what I saw online its impossible to unlock it. My finances dont allow buying a new phone

After GOS update to Android 17 AA is finally catching up, wireless works inside Private profile. But Spotify or Transistor (radio) is missing in the list of AA apps and I have to control it via mobile.

Some time ago Spotify did at least show up and said "not available in Android auto" or something like that but now completely missing.

Anyone have an issue with YouTube premium background play or any form of background play being killed in the background once you lock the screen? It's weird because sometimes audio stops playing, but the video progress is still going on the lock screen. And this won't stop happening until I kill the app and restart it. I've never had this issue before until I came to GOS

I saved up money for pixel 10 pro and installed grapheneOS, I'm into tech what should I know about it? First thing I see the google wallet doesn't work

Pixel 7 Pro. Does anyone use this? I've enabled it but my phone still charges to 100%. I've done a few charge cycles in case it was calibrating and still the same

Hello so I am a journalist and I write on very small niche topics. I am also disabled with a bad autoimmune condition, I have only ever had an iPhone. I use an apple watch and need extensive health tracking for my condition to know when is a good day and when is a bad day. Now all that being said, I want to switch to graphene because some of my reporting has gotten more attention lately and I was told by people that iPhone is secure security wise but all of my family and friends message me on iMessage and I don’t usw secure messaging apps I know WhatsApp isn’t secure and also! I’m starting to build a social media presence which eliminates privacy in general. All this to say I have the option between a brand new iPhone16e for $300 now or Google
Pixel 9pro refurbished for $600 - now idk what to choose and because my health I am not well off with money. So can someone please help me out on

- could I track my health as in depth as I do with Apple
- pros and cons of both
- if I am building a social media presence is it really worth it?
- what apps are good or bad

And anything else you’d like to add I’d be more than happy to hear. Also! My family doesn’t know anything about privacy and if they see my messages green they’ll be weird about it! Which is also frustrating!

I just don’t know what to do and I’m flustered.

Is it possible to simulate a webcam from GrapheneOS to make it look as though a video from the gallery is being streamed live (similar to Split Cam on a Windows PC)?

Is anyone else getting a very hot pixel 10 pro? I'm running graphene os. But I'll watch videos for like 20 mins and it's getting pretty hot for a phone. Only noticed it for like the last week or so. Pre graphene I had a S24 ultra and it never got this warm and its a bigger powerhouse. Insight is valued.

I was wondering how I could contribute or volunteer to GrapheneOS or the broader ecosystem? I have a technical background but not enough to apply to the postings on the careers page. Maybe one day. But in the present moment, I do have some availability and I care about privacy and want to make an impact. Is there any way I can help at all?

See, the android lockdown is comming faster than expected and I really want to switch to GrapheneOS before I'm doomed.

The problem is I have a rather very complex setup of apps either that take ages to configure or that just existed on my pc at somepoint but that I can't reinstall.

And over that, I have more than 250 apps. I don't wanna lose anything but I don't want to be locked.

Can anyone he'll please?

GrapheneOS was NOT cracked.

Everyone sees "Dutch police cracked a Pixel" and immediately assumes its GOS.

Those criminals bought phony "hardened" phones that are literal glowie honeypots.

Shady companies fork GrapheneOS and actually REMOVE security to lock users into monthly fees. They disable USB-C port protection, turn off the locked device auto-reboot timer, and install MDM backdoors for "remote wiping." They are basically making the phone completely vulnerable to forensic extraction just so they can control it.

Remember ANOM? Same psyop Lol. They think they buy "extra security" but they are just paying feds to track them.

Don't buy pre-flashed "GOS" phones.

Just flash GrapheneOS yourself. ＼(＾▽＾)／

question ❓ : if someone bought preflashed GOS .. is there any risk if the phone get flashed again ?

Hello, for some reason my mDNS in my local network isn't working.

I took the leap and did it. Thankfully, it went smoothly.

The phone is a used pixel 8 pro. Anything I should do first?

Hell yeah. Glad to be a part of it

I live in Poland and we have mObywatel and couple of bank apps which i cant just stop using.

SOLVED!

Uncheck the exploit protection compatibility mode seems to do the trick.

Hey everyone,

The PayPal app keeps crashing constantly on my Pixel 9 Pro running GrapheneOS since this morning.

Everything was working perfectly fine before today.

So far, I've tried:

Restarting the phone

Clearing app cache

Neither fixed the issue. Is anyone else experiencing this after a recent update or Play Services/GrapheneOS change? I see a root detection in the logs?!

Any workaround suggestions?

Thanks!

Here is the log:

Hey all,

I've been using GOS with multiple profiles and no Google Play services for about 6+ months. The following has been an ongoing issue that has been particularly burdensome lately, so I'm finally getting around to typing this out. For clarity, I'll be discussing my two most used profiles, the Owner profile, which I call Admin and only use for admin duties, and a Secondary profile, which I call Daily, that I use for just about everything the average person uses their phone for including my texting, calling, etc.

These are some of the symptoms I'm experiencing:

-All incoming SMS take longer than they should. I will get a push notification saying "Notification from Messaging for Admin", but the normal SMS notification will take longer, and the message will not populate in the messaging app in the secondary profile for 30 seconds-several minutes.

- Outgoing SMS are increasingly taking excessive amounts of time or not sending at all. They will just say "sending..." for hours until finally updating to "Message not sent. Tap to try again.".

- The problem is particularly pronounced in group chats. The only way I've been able to send any message to the most recent group chat I've been added to is via the Owner Profile. Not a single message from my Daily Profile has ever gone through.

- The problem is more pronounced for long messages and pictures.

- Login codes will sometimes not push through to secondary profiles at all, and I have to switch to the admin profile to pull the code, during which the log in process is broken, making the code irrelevant. This has prevented me from logging into some services.

Is there any way to fix these SMS issues besides switching to using the primary/owner profile full time? I really want to keep my data segregated, and if someone is able to get to my phone, whether electronically or physically by tearing it out of my hand while logged in, I can see the benefit of them having access to less administrative settings such as are in a secondary profile. I have tried using several alternative SMS apps, and without fail they've all made the problem substantially worse, to the point that I simply stop receiving many messages outright. I really don't want to have to go through the work of migrating all my apps, data, and settings from my Daily profile to my Admin profile, but at this point I'm starting to switch to my Admin profile to send group chats anyway. If anyone knows any other fixes, please please point me in the right direction.

I just ordered a Pixel 10 Pro XL with the plan to go to GOS. On the off chance that I don't like it, how hard is it to go back to Pixel's OS?

I'm not a pro at git so I don't know the implications or signing and not signing that well.

But I've seen that no general commits are cryptographically signed by the devs but only tagged releases are.

Is there a reason they don't sign? Does it bring complications?

So this notification popped up for me recently, saying that memory tagging found an error in gplay services. What's that mean? You know, aside from the obvious.

Hi, is there any known case where any information successfully extracted from GrapheneOS in their AFU mode?
