    GrapheneOS has Google Play installed on the phone, but it's in its own sandbox. That means it sends real telemetry to google, but is limited to what it can see from within the sandbox.

    CalyxOS doesn't support Google Play at all. It has Aurora Store and you can install migroG to get access to apps from Google Play. The only interaction with Google is push notifications, which are also optional. This means some apps won't work. Sound like it's mostly banking apps that break.

    Just installed CalyxOS on my Pixel 6 Pro. Took me about thirty minutes total. One of the longest parts of the process was finding the little pin to remove the SIM card. The web installer was really easy. Now I'm doing more digging into MicroG.

    @kaidenshi So expensive, though. :/

    That said, if I can get one, I'll probably run #CalyxOS on it.

    Starting my migration to CalyxOS today. Currently I'm on my Pixel 9a with GrapheneOS installed. Before wiping this phone, I'm going to install CalyxOS on a Pixel 6 I have lying around to give the OS a go.

    I am currently researching at the FSFE for FreeYourAndroid on the topic of microG.

    If you use microG, how have you installed it? Or was it already there?

    (User app can come from F-Droid repo too)

    Ich recherchiere gerade bei der #FSFE für #FreeYourAndroid zum Thema #microG.

    Falls du es benutzt, wie hast du es installiert? Oder war es bereits da?
