I thought this post was a great idea, so decided to copy it! This is my Pixel 8 Pro with GrapheneOS, some highlights are:

  • Most apps installed via Obtainium, except for banking apps etc that have to come from Google Play
  • Setter search bar
  • Quik SMS app
  • Pipepipe for watching Youtube
  • Lawnchair launcher
  • FairEmail email app
  • Dailer, Contacts, Calendar from Fossify

What is it about Graphene that disqualifies it? Is it just the requirement to have Google hardware? Or is AOSP not considered Linux even though it uses the Linux kernel? Or something about proprietary drivers?
