GrapheneOS

Can someone please help me test https://f-droid.org/packages/com.github.axet.callrecorder on non-rooted latest GrapheneOS? It is able to auto start but it records silence.

thanks a lot for your kindly help

1. recently I've been getting notification popups that Google Fi can't work properly unless Google Play has permission to access phone and SMS. However, I only give Play network permissions, and my phone and SMS with Google Fi work fine. I've just been ignoring the messages.

2. since the latest OS update, I've seen this pictured notification twice.

Does anyone have any advice? Should I just keep ignoring the messages or take some action?

I think bitmask VPN broke my VPN setting somehow. I cannot connect to internet in my secondary profile but no problem in other profile

• can not connect to anything in this profile
• bitmask initial config is unsuccessful
• there is a notification "Disconnected from always-on VPN" even though I have I removed all VPN from my settings.
• clicking on "Disconnected from always-on VPN" notification gives "Can't connect to always-on VPN / [Legacy VPN] is set up to stay connected all the time. but it can't connect at the moment, you won't have a connection until the VPN can reconnect, change VPN settings"
• nothing to change in "VPN settings" as i have deleted all the VPN
• I have tried reset wifi and bluetooth in owner profile but still no connection in secondary profile

thanks a lot for any help

Okay so I'm not really sure how to describe this, I use graphene and ente for my photos which works great. On my phone, when I go into Signal or WhatsApp and try to attach a photo, I don't get ente as an option for where to get photos from so I can't get to my gallery in that way.

Is there a thing I need to do to tell the os that ente is the place for photos?

Thanks!

I have banking apps in a separate User profile. I was wondering if this was preferable (or worse) than putting those apps in Private Space.

Anybody have a "Separate User vs Private Space" comparison?

https://grapheneos.org/releases#2024123000

add support for adding a PIN as a 2nd factor to fingerprint unlock to enable our new recommended high threat model configuration of a random diceware passphrase as the primary unlock method and fingerprint+PIN with a random 4-6 digit PIN as the regularly used secondary unlock method (the usual limitations of secondary unlock only being usable for 48 hours after successful primary unlock and our limit of 5 total secondary unlock attempts apply)

add support for limiting charging the battery to 80% with support for bypass charging similar to the new Android 15 QPR1 stock Pixel OS feature, although unlike the stock Pixel OS our implementation still works while using a secondary user (the limit is currently hard-wired to 80% due to that being what's fully supported for the stock OS usage, but we can eventually make it configurable)

TWO AMAZING updates on this release!

Hey, If i were to buy a pixel 8 straight from Google, unlock the bootloader, install graphene, lock the bootloader, and then put it under my carrier… would I still be able to use grapheneos? I’m not sure if when T-Mobile carrier locks the bootloader, they also delete any OS that isn’t stock android.

Thanks!

So I really want GrapheneOS but I also want to have my phone rooted to have some features (like Aurora/Droid-ify background updates) but I don't know if this is incompatible and searching it on Google showed some old posts and forum discussions.

I know and I understand that rooting my phone basically breaks the logic of using GrapheneOS, but I still want to do it, is it possible?

I mean "possible" because from what I understand, when you flash a custom rom you need to format your whole phone, but the same process when rooting your phone, so it's possible?

Beware of used Pixels with a replaced screen

I very recently bought a used Pixel 6 with a replacement screen, not thinking too much of it. I even made sure that the screen looked good during pickup.

One thing I missed though, was that apparently my Pixel doesn't have a fingerprint sensor anymore. I did some research, apparently it's quite easy to break the fingerprint sensor (or some places simply just don't include a sensor in the repair?) when replacing the screen.

Today I also noticed (through Show refresh rate in developer options) that my screen will only do 60 Hz as well.

Also I have stupidly high battery drain, I'm not 100% if that's related though.

Long story short, learn from my mistakes and either don't buy a used phone with a replacement screen or carefully test all functionalities associated with the screen, mainly high refresh rate and the fingerprint sensor.

Can we possibly get an (accessibility?) option to move or change the emergency call button placement on a password or PIN lock screen?

Adhd / sleep addled brain waking to irritating alarm that prompted me with a pin and BUTTON which I hit thinking it was the enter key I guess.... Heh, oops. Got a call back on that one, as i then hung up because was still trying to find and kill the alarm keeping me from sleep.

I cant be the only one? Is there a way to not make the option look like part of standard workflow (to half conscious brains), because it most definitely is not standard workflow by definition, and should be distinct.

Hi all, I'm brand new to GrapheneOS and to pixel phones. Been on android since the beginning though.

I bought a pixel 8 pro and straight away put on GrapheneOS on. I have a dual Sim setup (one for work, one personal). On the default app I can't set the app to remember which Sim to use with which contact, anyone else have the same issue?

Looking for advice for what others have done that works. The biggest problem is that calling people while driving I have to interact with the phone to tell it which SIM to use.

Thanks in advance

Hey there,

Not sure if someone is here except, but gonna ask. I have a few of apps that I've purchased on Play Store over time and still use. Probably most important is MySudo, which is a subscription. Can I have paid apps from Play Store in GrapheneOS? If I can, can I connect my existing Google account and still maintain privacy of OS and other apps?

I can't find this setting anymore. What happened to it? Or is an issue with my phone?
