Cops say criminals use a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS — I say that’s freedom - Lemmy.World

I run GrapheneOS because it gives me full control over what my phone does and gives me the ability to restrict access to anything on all applications or uninstall any application I don’t want on my phone even if it causes some functionalities to break.

Had lawmakers gotten their heads out of their asses and made actually having control over a device that you own like this a legal requirement for all devices, I wouldn’t need to be using GrapheneOS.

I’m considering switching too, I’m tired of feeling helpless.

Out of curiosity, have you had a lot of encounters with apps that won’t run because of play integrity? If so, have you managed to work around them in any way?

My banking app. It has been years since I last checked if it works, maybe it works now but I don’t care. I just use the browser to do my banking.
I have a little rinky dink credit union that only has a few locations locally, I got there’s to work. I even got cash app (the most problematic) to work, zelle works through my bank app, venmo works, everything works. You may have to do a setting workaround for your app that allows Google to be unsandboxed for that app only, or at least that is my understanding of what it’s doing.
wow, that’s a lot better than I thought! thanks!
