DominoUnremovable Spyware on Samsung Devices Comes Pre-installed on Galaxy Series Devices
ArghblargI took the jump and installed GrapheneOS on my Pixel 9 this weekend. Easiest alternate OS load I’ve ever done, didn’t even need to see a command line. (I’ve put LineageOS on many a phone and GrapheneOS’s web-based installer is amazing).
Loving it so far. I have three profiles, the main ‘Owner’ with NO google services/app store at all; and two more ‘Personal’ and ‘Work’ profiles that have Google stuff.
Amazingly GrapheneOS even lets you deny Google App Store itself permissions to install from untrusted sources (in this case, Google App Store itself) – I was suprised to see installing just App Store triggered attempts to then load: My Pixel, Google Photos, Fitbit(!!? WTF), and a few others, without any confirmation first. Was able to shut that shit down immediately.
I hope GrapheneOS spreads to other phone models. And I’m sure Google has a team planning on how to strangle it before it does…
amateurcrastinatorHow does it deal with banking apps? What about camera apps? How is the camera workings with other camera apps?
All my bank apps work, I have the stock pixel camera app and it works perfectly
Chase is the only bank app that hasn’t worked for me on GOS. Also using the stock pixel camera app.
