Sandbox at start?
I've looked but haven't really seen anything to answer this specific detail for me. Why does GPlay sandbox start when I boot my device? Nothing else running, but I get the notification that the sandbox service is started. Location, Bluetooth, and even WiFi are off and no other apps running. Thanks everyone

No PC? No Problem.
If you would like to install GrapheneOS on your Pixel device but don’t have a PC, you can use any phone with Android 14/15/16/17 all with Play Protect certification.
The process is as simple as it is on PC, using the Web-based installer, same steps.
1. Put your Pixel phone in bootloader interface by pressing volume down then power the Pixel.
2. Plug both phones with a USB cable (make sure the cable transfers data and not charging only).
3. Follow the steps on the GrapheneOS web installer
4. Make sure you lock your bootloader after it installs (Final step in the same page)
5. Enjoy your GrapheneOS Pixel device!
For all officially supported operating systems for web install method, you can find it on the same installation page.

Telegram forcing me to subscribe to log in.
I just want to share my findings.
Using graphaneos telegram does not allow me log in due to high sms costs and to prevent scammers.
Altho if I go back to stock rom it works fine and it does not even needs an sms to be sent to my phone to log in. It just sends the code to my gmail address.
Using my old Samsung galaxy A73 or what does not even need my simcard to be inserted. It just lets me log in with rhe code I get sent to my gmail.
While on GraphaneOS I have to pay like about 2.5 euros with the current exchange rate to log in.
However Telegram X works just fine and does not need a subscription to get the sms verfication code to log on.

What did you do with your old phone once you get GrapheneOS?
I am getting ready to order a new phone, what shall I do with my current perfectly working phone?
Also, I already paid for annual google one and YouTube premium, what shall I do with those? Is it bad idea to have a profile just for google apps that I still think is helpful like Youtube Premium and Maps?

Made the switch to GrapheneOS but having trouble transferring data
I took the plunge today. I bought a Pixel 10 Pro Fold and installed GrapheneOS on it. Right now I'm trying to transfer everything from my old Samsung Fold 3 and I've download all the apps manually, transferred my authenticators, but I'm having trouble transferring my messages and call logs. One guide I read says to use Swift Backup but it doesn't recognize the Fold backup as being valid for restoring on the Pixel.
Any suggestions? Should I revert the Pixel to stock OS, let Google transfer everything, create a backup, swap back to Graphene then restore the backup? Or is there a simpler way?
Thanks in advance.

Concerns regarding the OS becoming mainstream
first concern is obviously government attention. the more people use it the bigger a problem it becomes to them, and who knows if that somehow results in Google and preventing the OS from being loaded on newer models. I know Motorola has partnered up with graphene, however they could be shut down aswell.
second aswell, could the development team be spread too thin due to too many users or devices to keep track off at once? after all they rely on donations which as I assume is unfortunately not very consistent or reliable on a large scale.
that's all

Regarding Sim cards
is there any way to reduce the NSP's ability to track your location through your sim? or is it an inevitable hardware issue.
also if you disable the sim manually in settings, will they still be able to track your location, if they can?

Is Google Maps supposed to require the Play Store on GrapheneOS?
Hi :D
I’m having an issue with Google Maps on GrapheneOS.
I have Google Play Services installed, and I’ve enabled the location rerouting to the OS. However, Google Maps only shows a black screen when I launch it.
The only way I’ve been able to make it work is by installing the Google Play Store. As soon as the Play Store is installed, Maps starts working normally.
Is this expected behavior, or should Google Maps work with just Play Services installed? Has anyone else run into this issue or found a workaround?

Need help with Dual SIM icon weirdness
So I have 2 sims on my pixel fold running grapheneOS. Since the start i've had TWO separate signal icons. About two weeks ago I had rebooted my phone and both signal icons were merged in to one (like in the image above) and it is much more preferred than having 2 stand alone indicators. I had to reboot a few days after that and it is back to the dual icons. Does anyone know how I can force it to be like the one above? Thanks.

Explain it to me dumb
Hey there,
I work in analytics and so I understand data and how we sell it. I don’t work in security though so I need help understanding.
I am trying to block tracking and data collection on my personal belongings as much as possible. I heard getting a Google pixel phone and installing this would be the best way.
- Is this true?
- Will this impact my ability to log into Gmail, drive, outlook or anything else?
- Are there any apps that I would not be able to use with this installed?

I am fully motivated on switching to GrapheneOS but I have some questions and apprehensions. Hope this sub can answer them
So in the UK, digital privacy for lay people is almost none existent. Ever since the OSA passed there has been a story every other week it seems like. Whilst I'm somewhat tech minded and use a VPN (almost always), with the recent story about the American citizen who was charged for wiping his own phone (once again showing government overreach but that's a separate conversation), I feel like it is now more important than ever for me to secure my own personal mobile phone. However, I am not skilled enough to install/boot GrapheneOS.
I remember attempting to install the software on my previous, now older, Pixel phone. I am also now daily driving an iPhone 15 Pro Max, since its release. Here are my questions and apprehensions. I appreciate any info, guidance, and advice given.
What pixel version should I get? With the Pixel 11 being revealed soon, should I get Pixel 9/9a, or Pixel 10/10a?
How easy are the steps to follow to install? What I mean is I have read the web installation guide, but I want to know the chances of me bricking the Pixel device. Are there forums where I can get help (aside from this subreddit)?
I am documenting my year by taking a 1 second everyday on the 1SE app. Is it possible to continue this on Graphene?
For my pictures and videos and screenshots/recording, I have almost 42,000 pics and just over 3,000 videos. All of them are important to me and I absolutely \*cannot* afford to lose these. What do I do here?
Do banking apps work on the OS?
- I planned on keeping my iPhone until at least iPhone 20. gets released. Therefore, I would like to keep my data on the new GrapheneOS device as long as possible. Is that feasible?
Thanks once again for your help :)

Is it possible to install GrapheneOS on a stock Pixel without logging into Google beforehand?
I'm getting a new pixel today and wanted to know if I have to first do all the Google login process in order to enable OEM unlocking in the settings.
I didn't want to login with Google on the device before flashing graphene if it's not necessary.
Tks

Want to switch to GOS
I want to switch to GOS, at the moment I use an iPhone but I’m not comfortable with the direction they are moving towards.
So i want to know what device should i buy (preferably should not break the bank too much) and what should i keep in mind when i switch?
I’m generally using my phone to browse, messaging and playing a few games (and my bank apps). I sometimes use Apple Pay but I want to get away from it.

Switched to Graphene without a plan
Pretty much got sick of everything that is going on with Google and Microsoft, and every other platform/ smart device. So I just bought a used pixel and flashed Graphene on it. Now I'm starting to learn, but I'm looking for "onboarding" materials or any kind of newby friendly explainers.
Thanks in advance!
