Google Wallet does not load (I use Passes or Catima to download tickets) and tap to pay does not work - Google Pay still works, just not through the app.
Some financial apps don’t work. CapitalOne doesn’t open, but I only need to login once a month to pay my credit card so I just do it on my computer.
My company’s Microsoft Intune setup didn’t work, but they recently restricted it to iPhone only so that’s not relevant anymore.
I’m very interested, but losing tap to pay could be a deal breaker. Also, Dexcom app can be very picky. But if Google makes side loading too difficult all bets are off.
Graphene is working with a manufacturer to build a device for them.
Also, Graphene isn’t the onlyngame in town. Lineage is fine, yes, you can’t re-lock the bootloader on most devices, but frankly that risk is overstated for the average person. For the people who need that kind of security, of they’re that big of a target then the actors after them will have state-level capability. So it’s a deterrent for less-capable adversaries.
Few years back I got a Chromebook just to put GalliumOS on it. Google’s hardware honestly has a decent track record for allowing open source operating systems.
Okay you got me with this one. Excepting one category of Apple products, you would need to go back about half a century to find an example of a major hardware manufacturer that is worse at “allowing” open source operating systems.
Very happy with GrapheneOS.
Is the ui the same as Pixel?
Yeah. The biggest issues I’ve had with it are:

I cannot for the life of me get Android Auto to work with it.
They don’t support RCS which is a deal breaker for me currently

I got Capital One to work on my GOS phone by turning on the exploit protection compatibility mode for the app in system settings
Yep, it’s the same stock UI and design language. Most of the modifications are under the hood and more user control over apps, permissions, etc
Just switched and I’m liking it…just need to import my address book with out Google play
Check out Davx5, that’s what I used to pull contacts and calendar
Which repository does that app.live on?
I got it from f-droid, but you could pull it from github as well
While it last, Google is disabling apks and you think they won’t lock bootloaders?
Well the next gen graphene os release will be on their own devices. They’re working with an OEM now.
Allegedly. But they are also looking at a Qualcomm chipset too, allegedly. Qualcomm is a US military contractor.
There are other phone companies.

Also you can build a LineageOS image that let’s you re-lock the bootloader if you really want that functionality.
It looks like a real hassle but it is possible.
Got a link to that?
Which is why I’m monitoring !linuxphones@lemmy.ca for updates and good targets to daily drive for work purposes. We can’t trust Google anymore.
Nice find! Didn’t know a sub like that was on here.
GrapheneOS is a nice reprieve from the sea of endless enshittification news flowing forth from Big Tech these days.
It’s a quite ironic it’s only available for Google’s phones.
e/os is fine too.
