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.

@calyxos
The Satellite SOS function of the new Google Pixel Phones works via a preinstalled ESim by Skylo. I didn't find any secure information, wether it's possible to send an emergency Message via Satellite via this ESim under CalyxOS.
Can someone Help?

Does Android's SafetyNet actually make it safer for apps to run?
Currently have a #complaint at #kifid (instititute for complaints against financial service providers in the Netherlands) against #revolut because it doesn't work on #degoogled phones. They claim it makes it more secure. Can anybody point me to a study or expert opinion on the #security benefits of #safetynet and how it protects #android phones?
My inkling about googled OEM phones is this:
- many are old
- many aren't receiving patches anymore
- many receive security patches late (weeks or months)And regarding degoogled phones:
- they are more likely to get security patches more quickly
- they are often maintained longer than OEM phones
- certain ROMs #calyxos #grapheneos (to a certain degree #eos) are actually more secure than stock OEMs due to either
* security focus
* faster security patches
* being limited to relockable bootloaders
