A month ago I said I'd tag you guys with my review.
Ah yes, you did a review? You'll be happy to know I'm planning on taking the plunge next month (timing works best for me then). The soft-bullying of a few people has convinced me it's time. Where do I find the review? Gonna check your TL
Oh, I'm retarded, it's in the OP here. lol
Ahh, so there is a bit of friction. Sounds pretty minimal though. I do like timers...not so much cucumber emojis, but there are likely others I use which might not show up. Planning on dual wielding when I do make the switch though, so maybe I can manage.
What about stuff like banking app, music (Spotify), etc. All good?
You're unzappable btw
the keyboard is awful. cannot search emojis.
can't search text messages either.
no "do not disturb" feature
and it seems to need to restart to update every night.
but yes, FUCK GOOGLE. so its worth it lol
Was gonna say this
also mobile banking apps don't work
I heard someone suggest downloading the Google keyboard and then turning off internet permissions in the settings
yeah fix your shit pickle man
At all??
Wondering the same
yeah I was used to the Samsung keyboard its off the table
not for the 2 local-ish banks I'm with
get a pixel 8 for >$300 on eBay, just make sure its carrier unlocked
So you just learned to live with a shitty keyboard?
So you just use the browser for banking stuff?
Got a bit of travel upcoming so will get to this when I return. Noted though 🫡
I forgot to mention this. I can't get Cash App to work which was really annoying.
This where I made a mistake the first time. I did exactly this without knowing about the carrier unlock.
Time to try 🐸 in all of its bug-filled glory
Oh you'll probably have to delete and re-add it to obtainium also

home assistant is an alternative to the hey google stuff, but it's a moderate commitment
FUTO keyboard and FUTO voice typing are superior to the default
I'm trying. No good.
Never mind. Got it.

So you're bragging?
I don't know what FUTO means.
I'm saying that it does exist 😆. Unexpected keyboard is what Cheese man and I use. Once you get a feel for it, you'll never go back. Maybe you'll go back, but I didn't and I hate the stock keyboard.
You can get it through zapstore
It's under the grapes tab
Trying this out! Thank you! 🥒
I'll look it up. Just got FUTO. 🥒

do not disturb is called 'modes', you can have more than one .. its pretty kewl. pretty sure thats all new androids but maybe you just didnt see it..

Stick with it. There's a guy I know can help you with some things...

No, this is too advanced for that retard.

So, they’re still using unsupported apps, nice.🤦🏻♂️
Also, there was another option if you wanted to break away from Google, join #teamapple, you would get the same level of security without having to jump through hoops. 😁
I did this, works, no gifs though. Swipe works too.
- Keyboard is customizable with 3rd party FOSS, even for local voice recognition
- Messaging is customizable and searchable with 3rd party FOSS
- No, you can't search emojis, that I know of
- There is 100% a do not disturb, as well as a sleep mode
- You can configure restart behavior in settings
Swipe?
xapo works with GPS in ... what's it called, firewalled? controlled? anyway, yeah, xapo works, it just needs play services and it is ok with the sandboxed version. i also was able to run it on a rooted motorola defy previously.
but most banking apps won't work on graphene. i keep that in a separate user so it's not awake unless i need it to be. i also often need gmaps and that works of course.
the lack of push is the main problem i get, but signal and telegram have fallbacks to polling, at the cost of a bit more battery.
my favourite thing about graphene OS is when you install BLE radar. graphene disables the beacon so other devices don't know it's around and initiating pairing or whatever. i see all these apple labeled devices, maybe 80% of the devices that are telling everyone where they are. definitely if i need to ever be in an airport again especially in some dodgy place i'll be watching out for similar looking beacons appearing even as i am moving around, can be from someone dropping an airtag, those are easy to recognise because it says apple lol.
Where you keep your thumb down and swipe the word out like your drawing it
So there’s no difference between using that on graphene and stock android
As far as I can tell it's identical. I think it even learns words. Only thing it wont do is search for gifs obviously.
I haven't updated in a while. Does the keyboard let you drag to write letters instead of tapping one by one?? 🫠🎲
You can install the Google keyboard (Gboard) and GraphineOS allows you to remove Internet access for that app. Still private
