My hobby this week is deleting Google Off My Phone. So I installed GrapheneOS on my Pixel Six phone. No blog posts for years then two in one week! https://dalliance.net/blog/grapheneos/ It seems to do most of the things I need from a phone these days, if only because of how I'm already deliberately not using Google for address/calendar/email and instead try and do most stuff with self-hosted web-services. Means if I have a browser I have most of what I want already. Graphene here is going to work for me except for: * Organic Maps isn't good enough for driving or for busses. * Banking apps Luckily, with Graphene, the Google Play services can be installed and they install in user-space, so you can set your phone to have a Google partition and a Free partition and install Maps and Waze and Bank-apps in the Google unfree part. Using a few new open-source things I wasn't using before on Android. Molly is nice for Signal and solves that tablet-app problem I think. But seems like this can work. Away from Google but still only supporting a google phone 🤔 for now. More models coming I believe. Perhaps I'll buy one soon coz both Google and Graphene stop supporting this Pixel Six this year. More details in the blog post anyway. #grapheneOS #degoogle #android #blog
