Hi everyone. I’m making my first post to Lemmy now. I bought a Pixel 9A last month and have been on stock android.
I should have installed GrapheneOS without setting up a Google account, but I’m still not familiar with Linux or other systems, even though I know GrapheneOS is based on the Android system. I’ve been using an iPhone for almost 12 years now. I know how to protect my data/privacy from massive surveillance.
Now I now want to take full control of my pixel phone without Google Play store/service.
My concern is lack of phone screening feature on Graphene OS but I don’t want to have any Google service on Graphene OS. How do you deal without it?
Thank you for your response in advance
GrapheneOS has benefits even when used with Google Play Services. At least on the primary profile, you can install the Phone by Google and get good call spam blocking. Other apps that you’d prefer to be siloed can be put on another profile without play services.
