FYI if you use #GrapheneOS and try to open PayPal, it will very promptly crash.

Fortunately there is an easy temporary fix:

so dont buy those …

Ich bin wirklich dankbar, dass es Projekte wie #GrapheneOS gibt. Denn wir müssen nicht alles hinnehmen, was uns vorgesetzt wird. Es gibt Auswege. Es gibt Alternativen. Das ist doch #Freiheit oder?

Well I figured out how far I could go last night, while setting up my newest Graphene OS phone.

I created new google account. From my arch laptop. It required not just a phone number (VoIP) but a cellular phone number. If you try this from you computer, you are still coerced into giving up your sim number.

Once you're on your phone signing in, Google will once again get your permission to dive into your phone to verify your sim number. This locks your account, to the device and to your number. I got past that curve with a prepaid cellular account with an alias.

I was unsuccessful on spoofing my location. Which triggered the US age verification. Which include, GEO location from your phone, your government issued ID, and two on the spot photo scans of you head and face. Like a mug shot. So I'd stopped before any of that intrusion. This will fully tie your identity to your device, the account, anyone or anything you do from that account and will follow you around digitally and physically.

So my layered approach is cut a bit short but I think it will do for now. Web apps when I can.

GrapheneOS: Schluss mit dem Google-Zwang bei RCS

#GrapheneOS

Okay #askFedi, I really need your help on this one.

When moving phones to my new #grapheneOS pixel, my whatsapp has been "need the official #WhatsApp to log in" shadow banned.

I have a couple more numbers, and I believe using a new account *should* work. The problem is, people KNOW me as my older number

If I were to migrate numbers on whatsapp on a googled phone, would my new number (same account) still be banned?

Is there another solution I am missing here?

Neben allerhand schlechter Nachrichten auch noch was Positives zum heutigen DIDay:
Smartphone läuft nun unter #GrapheneOS . Im Hauptprofil dank UnifiedPush tatsächlich komplett ohne Google. Interessante Funktion: DuressPIN. Wer weiss, wozu man die irgendwann nicht doch mal braucht...

Einzig die Üstra-Sprinti-Rufbus-App will partout nicht ohne US-Bigtech. Da wird dann jetzt wieder ganz analog angerufen.

Fossify Gallery is FOSS and worth looking at as a gallery app. Keyboardwise I suggest looking at Florisboard. It's FOSS and has swipe. They disabled autocomplete a while back, saying they're overhauling it. It's not back yet, but my understanding is it just needs some extra love, which maybe you could collaborate on.

@abhiyantrik will that be the end of #GrapheneOS ? I think they need some time to do reverse engineering for the new hardware components.

@GurpreetSingh go #grapheneos

I bought a second hand pixel 10 Pro with 256GB of storage. It was a very good price for a nearly perfect phone. $480 cash on Craigslist. As it may be the last of the Pixel line that will work with Graphene OS. I'm sure I'll eventually move to the Motorola Signature with GOS, but for now this is the budget long term option.

So I've been methodically setting it up as my next GOS phone. This being my third Google Pixel running GOS, I know a few more things to implement that I hadn't done with my previous phones. To bolster it's Google Play Services isolation with Private Spaces as opposed to using a second profile. As Josh from Side of Burritos goes over in the video on this subject.

I've had a pivot on perspective in setting it up, thanks to Josh, as to how to best use PS. First of all the name is misleading. It should have been named Quarantine Space, because private suggests it something to hide apps in. That's not it most useful feature at all. It is its isolation of apps and specially apps use Google Play Services or Play Integrity. Got to keep em separated :ablobcool:

I have found many of my preferred Apps that come from Google Play Store that don't use Play Integrity or Google Play Services. I use the Aurora Store for those on my Owner Profile for convenience. I also don't plan to keep the Private Spaces locked during the day as I use it most of the day. Again, no point in hiding it or using a harder or different pin/passcode, as this is only used by myself.

I've made the best use of the Graphene OS App Store as my first stop.
Second, I use ObstanX over Obstanium for it's better security and power user tools.
For those FDroid repositories only Apps, I used Droidify. Just my preference.
Finally I'll use the Aurora Store for those Play Store Apps I use that do not need Google's Play Integrity or Play Services.

On the Owner's Private Spaces; This is the place to quarantine those needed Apps that only work if download from the Google Play Store and only function with Play Services. It's pretty black and white on this. If I need a third place for isolation, it will go in another User Profile. Those also feature their own Private Space.

Google's Play Store now requires a non VOIP number to set up new. Assholes! But here we are. And this is currently my next step to mitigate. As it just isn't asking for a number, it's looking into the phone to get it! Fucking boundaries Google! So this means it must be from a sim. And this Pixel 10 Line up in the US doesn't have physical sim slots. So unless you get the fold or the European or Asian models. Or get the previous Pixels phones. Or choose to use a current Google Play profile. Youll need a sim. I'm making that consideration today.

Before this I always create a new Google account for the new device. Have separate Google Accounts for each device to have that compartmentalization, separation. It's still the best implementation.

What's you best setup and thoughts doing a Graphene OS set up? Which FOSS apps are working best for you?

#didit! Pünktlich zum September #diday endlich #paypal losgeworden! (fuck peter thiel. einfach so, generell (nicht, dass er noch groß was mit dem laden zu tun hat)).

durch den umstieg von Lineage auf #grapheneos ließ sich die banking app endlich zu #wero überreden.

Ab jetzt also zahlen mit Wero 😀 ... oder Klarna 😐 oder notfalls visa 🫣... wird schon irgendwie!

Hmm, apparently Google Messages doesn't backup RCS messages in the AOSP SMS/MMS database anymore.
If AOSP has not native support for RCS yet, I guess it is because Google doesn't want it to become the interoperable protocol that it was supposed to be. Google's RCS is like WhatsApp/Facebook's XMPP: fully propietary.

I shouldn't have faith in anything involving Google, carriers, and any entity serving capitalists. I guess I'm still naive.

The Universal Profile still exist, but most carriers don't operate their own servers, relying instead on Google's Jibe servers, and the only third party RCS client that Google allows is Apple Messages, exclusive to iOS. I don't know if Huawei can access those servers. I suppose this is why even the GrapheneOS team is not confident on having an open source RCS client anytime soon.

Jemand auf GrapheneOS die Penny App im Einsatz?

Hab die App aus dem Aurora Store und sie läuft mit Sandboxed Google Play Services.

Seit einiger Zeit läuft die App so nicht mehr. Kann das jemand bestätigen?

I have reset the previous phone by now, so I think we are done.

Out of this still, there is one more important lesson: in this corner of the fediverse, #grapheneos receives significantly more attention than #duolingo. Well done! 👍
