| Few notes: - some crapplications do not want to run on custom rom - more than mere mobile privacy I'm MUCH worried about new cars (witch happen to be mobile crapware connected crap)... As a small dumb example, I've got my new EV, formally already fitted by default of crappy surveillance contracts with some vendors "pre-payed" and I have to unsubscribe to them all one-by-one. Car itself is a mobile OS, connected to the vendor and who knows what PLUS Android Auto/Apple CarPlay. Being semi-autonomous and connected can potentially blocked or cracked from remote and I doubt we can even LEGALLY flash other firmware's. To add a small anecdote I found the car already bound to the vendor phone, it's new but probably they have do some test being a vehicle in their exposition, he simply forget to unbind it. Witch means he potentially track, remote open, remote power on etc the car. In such terms while I prize all FLOSS efforts we can't have privacy on mobile crapware and craphw: the sole option is IMPOSING with popular acclaim mandatory FLOSS for anything and all "connections" must be in the term "your device can expose, at your options as the real owner of the device, some services to the net. All we offer is a connection service, with a public IPv6 address and a (sub)domain name for you. You choose what to do with it". No "push-OTA" and other stuff allowed by laws, with sanctions severe enough no one would even try to. |
If you need help getting apps working, please ask on https://discuss.grapheneos.org/ or #grapheneos:grapheneos.org on Matrix. We'll be happy to help you get them working and if they aren't working we'll fix the remaining rare compatibility issues. Nearly every application works on GrapheneOS if you install the sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer and make use of the per-app exploit protection compatibility toggle for apps with memory corruption bugs. The compatibility mode doesn't reduce OS security, it just disables certain features protecting the app itself against attackers. We may eventually maintain a list of apps requiring the compatibility mode to do this for major apps like Among Us automatically. Also, note some apps require dependencies like Google Play Games which aren't installed for you automatically.
