>be me
>finally ditch graphene after 8 months of coping
>install stock Pixel OS on my 9 Pro
>holy shit bros

Graphene fags will tell you it's "le secure" but it's literally unusable trash. Stock Pixel just works and mogs it in every way that actually matters:

- Google services actually function without 50 microg hacks that break every other week
- Banking apps, Netflix, YouTube Music, everything just works. No more "device not certified" autism
- Battery life is noticeably better, like 20-30% more SOT because no paranoid hardening killing background processes
- Camera is actually good instead of whatever broken shit Graphene does to the HAL
- Timely security patches? Graphene takes weeks/months to push stable builds while Pixel gets them day one
- Features actually exist. Call screening, Live Translate, Magic Editor, Now Playing, all the good Pixel shit

Graphene is for schizos who think Google is personally reading their dick pics. Newsflash: if you're that high value the feds are getting you with or without Graphene. For normal people who just want a phone that isn't a pain in the ass, stock Pixel OS is unironically better in 2026.

Why would I use microG or Google play services in general? I thank God some apps don't work without it since I know what's in them now that I didn't know befor.

My banking app still works (get a better bank, faggot. Lol. Also, don't keep more than a few months of bills in there. Invest any above that)

Battery and camera is a fair point. I get a little less battery on graphene and camera is pretty jank on graphene.

>All my spyware injections into my calls works!

Lol, faggot

No, I appreciate the BFU auto restart every 18 hours feature. Also, being armed is enough to scare feds. Lol

Glass and glue, the buttonless slab,the worst interface we ever made that is just barely usable, the machine that the ISP owns half of it ,the absolutely hateful machine it was chosen by the sheep that you must own to exist in the modern world.

If you are to have one, you should have the shittiest, cheapest, most disposable and replaceable piece of shit that barely can do the job that it is required to do.
Getting "THE BEST PHONE" is like getting the best shock buttplug.

there are very functional workarounds. I'm on GrapheneOS and is the pixel camera with no issues.

Stock Android is a clustered, ugly, and useless mess. Incorrect opinion. GrapheneOS is the greatest mobile operating system to exist. I came to GrapheneOS to get away from that obnoxious hell.

>- Google services actually function without 50 microg hacks that break every other week
every google shit works on graphene, you still have access to play store and play services which is all you need
>- Banking apps, Netflix, YouTube Music, everything just works. No more "device not certified" autism
haven't encoutered that issue once, except when I mistakenly set up my aurora store wrong, does not happen on playstore
>- Battery life is noticeably better, like 20-30% more SOT because no paranoid hardening killing background processes
where do you get those numbers? it's most likely the opposite actually, battery life is better since it kills every useless spyware app in the background, and is debloated from the go
>- Camera is actually good instead of whatever broken shit Graphene does to the HAL
you can install pixel photo
>- Timely security patches? Graphene takes weeks/months to push stable builds while Pixel gets them day one
constant updates, barely any wait after when the google ones are released
new devices take a bit more time before they are supported, but once graphene is installed you have to wait a few days at worst before getting the updates (android 17 took like 3-4 days?)
>- Features actually exist. Call screening, Live Translate, Magic Editor, Now Playing, all the good Pixel shit
most of the pixel features are for the US only, makes no difference to me

>Google services actually function
I don't want google services, I precisely installed a degoogled rom because of that.
>- Banking apps, Netflix, YouTube Music, everything just works
I don't do banking on my phone, I don't watch goyslop streaming shit, I only listen to offline music on my dedicated device
>- Battery life is noticeably better, like 20-30% more SOT because no paranoid hardening killing background processes
It already lasts a couple of days, I don't need 20% more. It also doesn't kill background processes
>- Camera is actually good instead of whatever broken shit Graphene does to the HAL
You can install the gcamera if you really miss the AI filters on your photos, same as stock
>-Graphene takes weeks/months to push stable builds while Pixel gets them day one
I wish, it wants me to update every other day
>- Features actually exist. Call screening, Live Translate, Magic Editor, Now Playing, all the good Pixel shit
Don't want any of that crap, never used it, never will

Yes it is, now please never use it again and stop spamming the board with your glowie ramblings

Are you the maintainer?
>>109387308
They picked this retarded hill to die on where it's still essentially Android and you can't do anything meaningful with it but it's also not compatible with all the Google stuff. It's the worst possible situation of all possible situations. I don't understand how it's so popular.

Poor bait. Literally everything you listed is either easy to "fix" or isn't an issue at all. You're just dumb cattle wanting to slurp up the latest garbage.
>>
>>109396942
>Are you the maintainer?
No? But most of the claims in OP can be proven false simply by reading the GrapheneOS website (or talking to someone that uses it, and clearly OP doesn't)
>>
>>109396905
Can Grapheneos record calls without it playing a "YOUR CALL IS BEING RECORDED" message like the stock pixel dialer does? Its my number one pet peeve rn
>>
>>109387477
The camera is my only real complaint. I do snap a lot of shots and it sucks that an equivalent software used by stock is missing.
>>
>>109397098
Yes, but I never used the feature because I'm not a fed.
>>
>>109396942
GrapheneOS has sandboxed Google Play, which means every Google feature you can expect from an Android phone works perfectly and with an added layer or privacy since GOS revokes all special accesses or privileges Google Play normally has. If you wish to use all the Google spyware you're free to do so with a single press on the install button for it in the GOS App Store. Then install everything you need directly from the Play Store and you're done. Nothing else to do: it just works.
>>
>>109397175
Fuck your privacy. Let me run what I want on my phone.

No one cares about the privacy vs spying thing, least of all Google. Android isn't about spying, it's about funneling you into a manipulative, highly modal sandbox so they can rent your behavior out.
>>
>>109397193
What are you even on about? You can install whatever you want (even Google spyware), but with EXTRA privacy.
Explain to me how having extra stuff is a bad thing exactly, because you don't make any sense.
>>
>>109387477
>>109397108
What? You can literally download the pixel camera off of the play store/aurora
>>
>>109397327
It requires play services which completely defeats the point. Yes, the play services are sandboxed and dont have full root access, but it's still not the point.
>>
>>109397455
not sure what your point is
>>
Let's all be honest for a second, seriously. The literal only reason someone would want to go through all this bullshit is because they're planning some terrorist attack or they're stashing CP on their phone. That's literally it. Nobody gives a fuck about your epic torrented anime or your Anarchist' Cookbook pdf.
>>
>>109397481
The point is to be google free.

>>109397483
Nice try Airmen. How is the Eglin chow hall these days?

>>109397455
>Pixel Camera (previously known as Google Camera) can take full advantage of the available cameras and image processing hardware as it can on the stock OS and does not require GSF or sandboxed Google Play on GrapheneOS.
with more info here https://grapheneos.org/usage#pixel-camera
>>
>>109397455
No it doesn't, or at least the version I use doesn't.
>>
>>109397483
No, I just want to get away from Google. I want a phone that doesn't depend on me having some stupid apple or Google account, which they can revoke at anytime, for any reason, and never tell you why.

I will be moving to GrapheneOS when the Motorola phone comes out, but my long term goal is to support either Phosh or Ubuntu Touch enough that I can use it as my only phone.
