a week ago i finished my migration to

good parts: can ssh into my phone and can fine-tune permissions

what i miss after using iphones for almost two decades: a smoothly working camera, a consistent user interface (including things like tap-to-scroll-to-top, password manager), reliable notification delivery, and airplay

what i had to give up (but wasn't too hard): face id, find my, airdrop, carplay, messages (imessage), safari, wallet

bonus: even though the screen size is nearly the same, the 10a feels bigger than my . naked, it's too slippery; in a case, it's bulky and still a bit slippery…

oh well,.. i guess that's the price you pay for having rsync on your phone ❤️

    @hi Amaya I ask your approach to siloing apps within profiles? I am still trying to wrap my head around that.

      as far as i understand each profile is like a completely separate phone: apps, files, and accounts don't mix. you may want to have one profile for work apps, another for social media, and one more for private apps. when a profile is inactive, its apps don't run.

      if you want notifications (messaging, calls, etc), those apps must live in your active profile. i may be wrong, still learning...

        If you install the Google Pixel camera app (I recommend revoking its network permission permanently before running it the first time), you will have a much better camera experience, although it won't help when you use the camera inside other apps.

        @hi Are you satisfied with how Android Auto works on GOS?

            @hi I'm not surprised. As much as I love GrapheneOS and the thought of an independent, completely private and secure operating system, it comes with some tradeoffs which aren't for everyone.

              @NebulaTide@bsd.cafe at the end of the day, i don't miss it that much. built-in maps are good enough in my car. that's all i needed. phone and music just work over bluetooth. more privacy. fewer moving parts :)

                Excellent work and welcome to the fre(e)cosystem!

                FYI you can install Android Auto from the GOS native App Store and doing a quick search it supports 100st 3rd party apps from what I can tell, that could replace your carplay and other stuff.

                Never mind I saw you alreaddy tried 🍻 my bad, I didnt saw the posts
