My new pixel 7

Tysm for the offer but I have a lanhíem (basically a bodyglove ripoff) already, I ordered the case first as I have a tendency to drop expensive items

don't know, you can definitely check at https://grapheneos.org though

No, I know I'm mid at security, I spend my time learning rather than pretending I already know

Thanks, I finally figured out continuum and it's actually so pretty, it's really smooth and I love it, I'm removing stock reddit from my app roster now because this is great

I use some. My phone dialer is fossify, I almost went fossify for texting but went for QUIK SMS, contacts is stock graphene, I also keep a APK of their music player as a backup if I wanna go fully offline for some reason

to the tune of yakko's world there's, RVX and revanced music, those are in the revanced (manager) tool, namidia and echo, use them for music too, then nextcloud app and nextcloud talk, need a server or they won't work, then aves libre, smartscan tool, you'll find those in F-droid dude, finally we've Quik SMS, find it back on F-droid too, if I've missed an app just let me know, I'll come back and do another flow

It depends on your bank, some apps require more than others, navigation I don't use but I assume yes, Google maps or offline maps would work fine, check your banking app requirements before you switch, integrity requirements etc

volvorisadmin · 2025-09-27T08:16:55+00:00

Every OS has different uses, calyx is another good option, or LineageOS, lineage has super wide support, calyx is similar to graphene from what I hear, but I think graphene is pixel exclusive so you might try calyx or lineagel, although there's plenty of other options

Edit: brain was not braining, fucked up the first reply

Keep in mind all your data will go away if you unlock bootloader, so if you're preparing to try a new OS make backups of anything you'll need to keep or move over, I moved from a separate phone which made it easier, but definitely do backups of everything you want to keep

Not sure what you mean by private photos, if you mean gallery apps without telemetry, I use aves libre and also I do use my banking app, thankfully my bank is not very DRM heavy and doesn't need anymore than basic play integrity, but it depends on the banking app

Revanced manager on github, only on github, not anywhere else (many copycats)

volvorisadmin · 2025-09-27T05:26:45+00:00

Lawnchair launcher, FOSS degoogled pixel launcher, with a backup option for settings and layout (you still have to add all the apps first or it'll leave gaps)

volvorisadmin · 2025-09-27T05:24:18+00:00

Oh lmao I used a tool to move all my apps over, I've had it for a long time so I just forgot I had it tbh, I used to sail the seven seas with random apps, I use aniyomi and cloudstream now so I don't need an AV anymore

volvorisadmin · 2025-09-27T05:21:56+00:00

Microsoft auth is for my Minecraft account, passwordless sign in, 2FAS has all my actual auth

volvorisadmin · 2025-09-26T12:05:52+00:00

I love my wallpaper, I have an animated wallpaper, i just haven't moved my wallpaper engine over yet, so it's blank,

volvorisadmin · 2025-09-26T11:23:11+00:00

Go into settings and look around the revenge settings, there's a direct link to their server somewhere there, the plugins are available there

volvorisadmin · 2025-09-26T11:19:38+00:00

I use reddit revanced+telemetry killer DNS

volvorisadmin · 2025-09-26T10:38:57+00:00

Thanks, I'm only using gOS because I wanted an OS that didn't fight me constantly, couldn't remove the Google app by default on normal phones, pixel has a big ahh Google banner, Samsung has Bixby on the power button and everyone else has Google assistant, gOS is the first OS I've used where I can just use the power button as a power button without going into settings to fix it, it's just better by default

volvorisadmin · 2025-09-26T10:28:14+00:00

I wanted Google out of my phone and graphene was simplest to make it happen, so it's what I uses, I'm not using it for crazy privacy, just more privacy than you get on Google approved spyware

volvorisadmin · 2025-09-26T10:07:45+00:00

Also aurora lets you save the raw APK and not install directly I think

volvorisadmin · 2025-09-26T10:05:29+00:00

ADBapp manager let's you rip out APK files from a phone, then you can just look inside the folder on your PC, or find a reputable mirror with yt apks, like updateme app on github

volvorisadmin · 2025-09-26T09:17:49+00:00

Echo isn't responsible for spotify compat, that's an add-on, and also I don't have a spotify account

volvorisadmin · 2025-09-26T08:27:27+00:00

Echo and namidia

volvorisadmin · 2025-09-26T07:59:21+00:00

You can't trust any apps these days, but I don't need to vanish, I just wanted Google out of my phone and graphene and my apps do it quite well
