Wait wouldnt that block any and every google service? Seems kind of nuclear to never need maps or anything like that.

Maybe I misunderstand.

The Android Open Source Project (AOSP) is the base for both operating systems.

GrapheneOS actually makes a lot of effort to provide solutions that are mostly better than what stock Android provides.

Cool. So let's pretend I have very little knowledge of how phones work. How difficult would it be for me to install? I assume you have to do the installation over usb-c connected to a laptop?

How long is the process, and how long would it take me to install any basic apps I would want, including sandboxed Google apps?

Thanks I watched your links, now my only questions is besides security are there any other reasons for Graphene, like battery life? Just making the decision of getting like a Galaxy 21 or 22 or a pixel. The thing that is most important is battery life for me.

You can get good battery life from a Pixel 6, 7, or 8 series device even with stock Android.

It only gets better when flashing a custom OS, particularly GrapheneOS, because you have more control over which apps can be running or using the network / location chips because radio or location can chew through battery charge very quickly.

Is the pixel worse for data gathering than a Galaxy? Or is it just the ability to flash graphene that all the privacy stuff comes in?
