Installed #GrapheneOS several days ago on my Pixel 8. It works great without any Google services! https://grapheneos.org/
I’ve also just gotten GrapheneOS. Got a Pixel 7 Pro just for that reason. I am absolutely loving it
Welcome to the club
Any ROM works great without Google Play Services. If anything, having MicroG installed makes things work less - I have a banking app that works fine on my old phone, without Google, but won’t work on my new phone because of a CPS Profile mismatch.
MicroG is a house of cards that is very difficult to get stacked correctly. Most apps work fine without it. For those that don’t, use something else, or just a web browser. Hell, you probably shouldn’t be using so many apps anyway, given that you really can’t be certain what they do when they’re closed source.
Can you give more details? What apps do you use? Anything worth noting? Thinking about doing this myself as well.
good for you
How is the headphone jack?
I am still very salty about it. But I considered that using a dongle is a fair enough sacrifice for actually trusting your phone.
You know, this comment just made me realize my phone didn’t have one. I guess when wireless ear buds are the same price as wired these days, you don’t even really notice
What is even better than that, is that if you really need or want a headphone jack, you can get a phone that has one. You don’t even have to try to bring other people down to do it
What about play-integrity?
