Option 1: leave everything enabled, & everything works with full spyware enablement too

Option 2: disable everything, but forget basics like mail notifications, yet still resign yourself to invasion from irrevocably disabled services

Option 3: the middle ground. Just kidding, disabling only what you truly don’t need is wildly opaque, and painfully slow: options are split and hidden wherever possible. Forget any “apply to all” graces being given by King Google. Disable the wrong thing, and break a seemingly enabled feature.

Also love how some options are given during setup, while others are only informational: “visit settings later to change this thing - hope you forget!”

So, what’s left: Option 4, root your phone and hope Magisk will work when you need to use your bank app?

I just want my cell provider to spy on me because physics. (Govt banning sale/sharing of that data would be epic, maybe some day in the far future.) Extra spying in the shadiest ways is bad and Google should feel bad.

But then Android Auto and NFC payment like Wallet/Pay won't work…

[–] Osiris@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

I think Graphene supports Auto. Its the only thing that makes me want to switch from Calyx

My car doesn't support android auto but I would really miss nfc payments at this point.

[–] brayd@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 6 months ago

Android Auto is supported. Payments are the only thing holding me back currently. But that's not something the developers of GrapheneOS can change unfortunately.
