last night, my pixel came! I flashed Graphene and I am now running it smoothly!

I am in the process of downloading apps and I have a question: I am interested in at least using discord on this device. It is absolutely one of my most used apps. On PC, I use legchord. Im a big fan. Is there something similar available for mobile? and I have a similar question for Whatsapp, and FB messenger (although those are less important)?

The way I run it is Google Play lives in the Private Space, which is well worth setting up. That way you don't have "secure but not anonymous" pings going back to Google all day

It's nice because then I don't just have war footage living in my main gallery too lol

Same. This is the way.

  • Owner profile only for installing and updating apps
  • Primary/daily profile for pure FOSS apps
  • Private space within the primary profile for Google services and any apps that require it
