I was seriously considering getting an over priced pixel phone just so I could get graphene os, but then I discovered, that rooting it is impossible. Pity

I bought the 10 pro fold when it came out and flashed it to grapheneos right out of the box.

I bought a pixel 10 because I wanted face unlock for contactless payments (level 3 biometric).

But from what I've read in the past, GrapheneOS doesn't work with most banking apps let alone payments.

GrapheneOS is just great. 2 weeks into it and it works soo good.

Still using Windows 10 Mobile.

We need data portability laws to really untie people from these platforms.

Other than security differences, is the interface just like on a Pixel? Can I still force dark mode on uncooperative apps like on Pixel? Is there still notification history? Screenshots/select on overview?

Also, break free from RCS and from participating in group chats with anyone you can't convince to move to another platform.

I daily drive grapheneOS, and wouldn't go back to iOS or Google-ed Android for anything, but it really sucked having to tell friends, family, and others I couldn't participate in our old group chats anymore.

EDIT: Apparently, they released a fix over the weekend, as aoude pointed out in another comment. So it's working for me on AT&T now.

I am probably gonna go with either graphene or a Linux phone next because of google doing their stupid shit as always

I may try and get a cheap phone to put some alt android ROMs on and test or maybe a Linux os but some of my favorite apps are android exclusive so I am probably gonna stick with a modded android system Either lineage, /e or graphene
