After 5 years using an iPhone, I'm finally transitioning back to an Android device with #GrapheneOS as my primary driver, for all the freedom.

curious to see how that goes
Let me know if you have questions! I did this two or three years ago and couldn't be happier.
been great for me. better experience than iOS by a longshot
I've been using GrapheneOS on a Pixel 6a for a while just to play around with it, so I'm familiar enough. I got a Pixel 9 Pro now.
I used Android for 10 years before switching to iPhone, and I've switched between Linux, macOS, and Windows over the years too, so I'm pretty comfortable with any OS honestly. My next switch later on might actually be from MacBook Pro to Framework Laptop Pro (Linux). I'll still keep Apple devices around so that I can build apps on them.
welcome home
are there many apps that are not usable w graphene? or just some?
The real question is which Nostr client are you going to use?
THE PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW!!!
Also we need help :)
i coinicedentally got a framework recently as well. took it as an excuse to finally pill myself on NixOS - which is an absolute joy. i don't know how i survived linux before it
May have to jump aboard
Ahhhh nice! 🫡
Most work. Only handful of banking apps that don't. If you have issues with a banking app press hold on it, click app info, then scroll down to Exploit protection compatibility mode and turn that on. Fixes most apps that otherwise have issues.
Currently, Wisp, but many of them are good in their own ways!
Which Pixel you picking up for #GrapheneOS ?
I bought a used Pixel 9 Pro from Back Market.
The specs are almost identical to the latest Pixel 10 Pro, so there wasn't much of a point in getting a newer one.

thank you 🙏🫰
Eventually need to try NixOS
So, you are in cahoots with the enemy... 🧐
No complaints. I picked one in Good condition and it came with barely noticeable scratches on the frame (not on the screen) and a bit of dust in some crevices. Not a big deal and I'm putting it in a case anyway. Delivered pretty quickly.
Not sure if you saw my post or not but I traded in my iPhone 15 Pro Max for the Pixel 10 on Google (instant trade in)
Betraying Damus and Amethyst. Raw dogging my nsec. 😂
Nice! No wrong choices there. I'm moving from iPhone 14 Pro but will probably keep it around.
Like you I was an android fan first then apple.
Same here. Hope you are well!
I'm raw dogging my nsec too with Ditto (no pun intended) 🤣
Vinney the faggot here is the quintessential example of everything that is wrong with NOSTR
He is so obsessed with security yet has absolutely nothing to say that he couldn't say on any big tech problem run by filthy genocidal kikes
Meanwhile i got suspended from X for the second time in about 4 months for actually USING my freedom of speech that i don't even have
Vinney is like a republican that is so worried about his gun rights but would never shoot a Nigger because that would be racist
Meanwhile Niggers never worry about gun rights - they just shoot cops
Oh well, let's hope for Vinney's sake that at least he is good at sucking and fucking because he is totally useless otherwise
Fuck him good Terry !
none
thank you 🙏🫰
That's not entirely true (recently found one in Singapore that wouldn't run) but it's very unlikely that you have one that doesn't work
Speaking about niggers I hope they continue to shoot and kill cops. That's what they get for protecting them.
Nice, I just did the same. May the RCS spirits be ever in your favor.
thank you 🙏🫰
I am striving to follow this path
Have you ever tried Graphene OS besides now?
For me none. And I have not even any google apps installed.
thank you 🙏🫰
Welcome! This is a nice move
Did that in September and moved to /e/OS on a Fairphone 6.
I even ditched the macbook and moved to Fedora on a frame.work 13.
No more google nor apple account.
Feels good to be aligned with your value!
Seems like even Apple is adding support for encrypted RCS.
Yes but I think Apple like held onto my phone number in the registry or something and it took several weeks before RCS came on in all of my graphene chats. My group messages just went into a black hole and had to be recreated :( if you haven't switched yet I would remove your phone number from iMessage on your iphone several days before you actually switch SIM cards.
My next phone for sure
🤙🏻

Which stores do you use to get every you need?
1. Zapstore where possible.
2. Obtainium or F-Droid if available otherwise.
3. Sandboxed Google Play Store as a last resort, and enable exploit protection compatibility mode if the app doesn't function properly.
4. Web app instead of Android app if none of the above work.
5. If all else fails, ditch it and find an alternative if one exists.
