Does GrapheneOS have microg or similar now? The last time I used it, it didn’t have it, and some apps (Signal, I’m looking at you) had a constant notification. I went to CalyxOS, which I like fine, but it’s more for the masses (gives up a little privacy for convenience) than GrapheneOS is.
Calyx is not hardened at all like Graphene. MicroG is supposed to be insecure, I miss UnifiedNLP though.
GrapheneOS has sandboxed Google Play apps, which are said to support all things. So they have the regular apps but with a compatibility layer so they work as normal apps like they should.
I dont use it though, and there is no Openstreetmap redirect or UnifiedNLP
That’s a good addition to the ecosystem. I don’t know if I want an official Play Services implementation on my phone, though. Even one without root access. I know microg isn’t perfect, but Google has been removed as much as functionally possible from it. I may just deal with the persistent notification, once I upgrade my phone (on 4xl atm), because I really liked everything else about GrapheneOS and want to compare it to CalyxOS properly, not after only 2 weeks on Graphene. How do you like it? Have you noticed that you’re missing anything important?
it has something called sandboxed google play services. they claim its more secure and private than microg. also in my experience notifications and location is more reliable with it than microg. also you can disable the constant notification for apps like signal and it still works afaik.
