I have been dancing around taking the plunge into GrapheneOS -- I have a pixel. Glad to hear you say this, bc it gives me confidence that I could move to it and not lose absolutely all the apps I have become accustomed to. There exists a list of apps that are compatible once de-googled (un play-protected), right? Also, I saw you mentioned that graphene can sandbox google play?
Yeah, read up on the Graphene webpage. I don't use any of it, but there are options. You're most likely to have issues with banking apps, from what I have seen. Anything that can't be done in a browser is a stalkerware scam IMO. I consider them irrelevant if they lack this fundamental functionality.
Thank you! Also love the username--great game in great series
My experience: most of my apps work fine without Google services. Even more advanced apps - sometimes they just can't verify licensing, so may complain occasionally. Even now, Macrodroid can't verify licensing through microG, but the dev has a process for licensing with a serial key based on your Google account.
