I dont have any complaints. I’ll trade a little performance for a bit more security/privacy

As an IronFox user, I can say I quite like it. Its a good Firefox based browser. Left off where Mull ended. Glad it exists

Also, may I suggest Thunder for Lemmy as well.

I fully intend om trying Comaps.

+1 for Aegis. Been using it for years.

For SMS when I have to use it QUICK has been great

Molly is fantastic too. I like that the database locks after a set time, I have mine 12 hours, but that’s a great feature to have. I also appreciate the notification system not relying on googles. I plan to setup unified push at some point too.

Self hosted: nextcloud, immich both fantastic. I wish there wasn’t a restriction on sideloaded apps using Android auto because I’d love to use Tempo for Navidrome. Currently I use Symfonium.

Sorry for it being out of order

Awe you think you’re important enough to follow and downvote lol

I always used CUE splitting software to separate tracks.

Spotify is trash

I will be giving this a shot! Thank you

I see it supports Android Auto. Does anyone know if its only the google play store version that supports Android auto?

I do suspect it could be an issue with my desktop. Maybe something in bios having to do with suspend. However, all of my other devices with arch non NVIDIA and have intel chips all work.

Thank you!

The only issue I have faced, and still no solution that I can find is that I can’t sleep my desktop. I’m running Arch (i7-12700KF, NVIDIA RTX 3090, Asus motherboard)

I’ve looked at the Arch wiki, and nothing I have found has helped.

I wish there was a launcher that came close to Nova. The main feature I miss is swiping on icons to launch different apps or intents. That and the scrollable dock.

I have since moved on to Lawnchair, but it isn’t quite 1 to 1 replacement.

I will always shoot to use open source where I can. And I suppose I have to live with some od the limitations and missing features for now.

I could continue to use Nova, and just block internet access like I used to; but that feels like a step back on terms of privacy than just using something more privacy conscious.

Counter points:

• Removable battery was for longevity, not carrying spares.

• I used external storage in the form of MicroSD for music. Lossless audio, and lots of it. I used it for backups of apps, videos, and ROMs. 128GB is not enough. I don’t use cloud storage.

• Having the option for wired was nice, and I did use it. Until it was taken away from me. For my car and headphones.

How many times are they going to repackage and sell this damn game

I went and jumped off the deep end and went straight to Arch with my main rig. However without reading and tinkering you won’t exactly have a fun time. But if you’re comfortable enough with command line, then you can get it working how you want. It does work quite well now that I have it setup. Even with Zen kernel and NVIDIA open dkms.

I didn’t know I could use my. WireGuard profile behind rethink. Good to know! While connected to my WoreGuard I have network wide adblocking, but I was extra and had many layers of blocking enabled.

I like tinkering, but when things like restrictions from the manufacturer cime into play, it can be enough of a pain I avoid it.

No. I avoid Chromium entirely. When there is a worthy contender to Firefox, I will check it out and weigh the options as well as do my research.

Chrome/Chromium has a monopoly on web browsing. And I will not support it.

Not against the idea of someone doing what they want with their hardware. That’s what got me into custom ROMs, and Linux, and Open Source projects to begin with.

I personally will not be rooting my GrapheneOS, even though once upon a time I would have jumped at the idea because of wanting a few things.

I feel it does compromise some of the security mechanisms and philosphies of GrapheneOS.

Like I said though, it’s our device, use it how we want.

I took a similar journey. I had the Pixel Pro 7, and when that broke I went to the 8 Pro.

I was on LineageOS with Root, and utilized quite a bit of root enabled apps and plugins.

• AdAway (I needed a non-vpn-like ad blocking solution, because I also used WireGuard
• WireGuard Kernel Module
• SDMaid(2?)
• A-GPS SUPLReplacer
• ReVanced (without Micro G)
• Termux
• PlayIntegrityFix
• TrickyStore
• AFWall+ (Since I didn’t want some apps making network connections)
• Custom Kernels (mainly for optimization, including but not limited to thermal issues)

I am sure there were more, in fact I know I used more but they constantly were changing because of keeping up with the cat and mouse game of passing Google’s Verification. All because I wanted control.

That was one of the biggest reasons behind root for me, to have full control over everything.

I took a step back, and decided to go down the rabbithole of using GrapheneOS, and eith a few exceptions, offered everything I was trying to accomplish with LineageOS and Root. All without the side-effects.

Do I miss having root? Yes. Would i switch back? That’s complicated. Yes and No, but really dependent on how Google decidesproceed in their endeavors of trying to lock everything down.

I don’t want another “Apple.” I am on Android because I am more of a poweruser than anyone I know in real life. I use more than just texting/messaging apps, and multimedia. I manage servers, and care about privacy, and I want to understand the inner workings of the devices I use. Bet ya can’t what family of OSs I use on my PCs? Just kidding. You already know.

I like pacman.

I feel it in my void where a sould belongs
