The installation was very easy! It’s very greatful that my data doesn’t send to Google any more.
What weather app you using?
Looks like Breezy
That’s ‘Brezzy Weather’. Has been my favorite weather app for a couple of years.
Not a privacy nightmare I suppose?
Absolutely not. You can choose whatever sources you want (your mileage may vary). You have the option to block location and just add the name of the cities you want to keep an eye on as well. It’s a delight to use.
I use Openweather as my source for most data points.
Breezy is such a treasure. Logging the network activity on any typical mainstream weather app really gives you the chills. I finally found this privacy-respecting and really beautifully designed app and I am so glad it exists.
i want it too. motorola, pls.
Are you saying, “Hello Moto?”
Welcome
Welcome ! Quick tip: Google has a database of cell towers that helps getting a location quickly and helps starting the GPS connection even indoors.
You don’t have that on GOS. So when you use localization with organic maps, you’ll notice it struggle to find you. You have to have a clear view to the sky to get a ping and then you can use it inside your car for example.
I also use https://github.com/barbeau/gpstest to get the ping more quickly.
You can improve a coverage alternative with one of the many apps which discover and upload cell towers to Beacon DB.
Thank you, I did not know about that. I’ll look into it. I see it’s on Accrescent
GrapheneOS has some services of its own that improve location speed and accuracy when enabled: SUPL and PSDS. They’re both implemented in ways that try to preserve privacy. See here for more info:
https://grapheneos.org/faq#default-connections
With these enabled, it’s usually quick to get your precise location.
I have both enabled but still difficult to get a ping without a clear view to the sky. I will try network location though.
I wish I didn’t give away my pixel to my friend.
Next step, compile lineage for your Galaxy S3 from 2012 and use it to watch movies
What phone? I might try it out since I feel like tinkering.
Pixel 9a
i am very stupid when it comes to phones… how can I wipe android and install graphenous. I will buy a new chip/SIM for my last phone to test/see how it works. Reveal your magic please. I just want a basic phone (text, call, maybe even a map/weather app and like a note app). I can use cash money or bank cards for paying for stuff- don’t need an app/service for that, perfectly capable as an adult to manage paying for shit without an electronic device.
You need to get a Google Pixel, then go to the GrapheneOS web installer on your PC and follow the instructions.
Just go to the grapheneOS website and it will walk you through it.
I have a medium competency with this kind of thing and the actual install was shockingly easy. Took about 15 mins.
You just change a couple of settings on your phone (it walks you through everything), plug it in and then press some buttons in sequence on their site.
Just make sure you back up everything you need from the phone first.
I have a pixel phone being shipped to me now, can’t wait to post one of these too.
Let’s hear the review!
I just got a Pixel 9 last week and put GrapheneOS on it. Couldn’t be happier with it so far. The install was completely painless using web installer. All my apps worked out of the box. Google Store works fine in the sandbox. UX is good, and you don’t have any of the crap Google normally loads like all the adaptive services, and all the other junk that runs in the background.
Welcome to serenity in the middle of the storm. Isn’t it great at first boot after install where you only have a clean canvas with a couple of apps and absolutely no bloat?
Congratulations!
It’s really easy. I installed dirty unicorns and a few others onto an Android phone years ago and had to install a program and follow a bunch of steps, adb, etc. GrapheneOS can be installed from a browser using another phone or tablet with each step basically a button on the site. I was a little surprised how simple it was.
Yeah I installed Graphene years ago on an old Pixel 4a and I remember it being a bit of a process. But I just got a new Pixel a couple of weeks ago and I was surprised how easy it is now.
Cheers mate. I’m running GrapheneOS on my Pixel 9a.
nice background anime maids are based
Do you have that without the icons? :3
