I’m thinking about flashing my phone to GrapheneOS to get rid of all the Google shit. Anybody have experience with it? Do you like it? Is there a better privacy-focused solution for Android phones? I’ve got a Pixel, and the process looks pretty straightforward but I’m curious to hear if any comrades here have tried it.

    Anything that requires the Google Play Integrity API isn’t going to work because you aren’t running a verified build of Android, but that’s mostly banking apps and stuff. I haven’t really been affected much by it and really it just feels like using Android with a lot more control over your privacy.
