    Here’s the Side of Burritos video with two followup videos in the description (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzpVI4zaso0)

    I don’t really know much about it to be honest, and the video is pretty old, and someone in the comments says the issue is fixed but I haven’t seen that anywhere else. I just use Obtanium anyway since you can get most FOSS apps from GitHub, a for ones that don’t, you can still find F-Droid apps. SideOfBurritos also has a more recent video about how to set up and use Obtanium if you’re interested.

    Welcome to the fold!

    Just a heads up, GOS doesn’t recommend the F-droid app as apparently there’s some security concerns. SideOfBurritos on YouTube talks more about it. An app like Droidify or Neo Store would be better and still uses the same F-Droid repositories. I use and really like Obtanium which allows you to download and manage apps directly from their websites, GitHub, F-Droid, & more.




  • Yeah I got a MagSafe case and started using a MagSafe wallet I had from when I was on iPhone so I usually just use my physical cards now. Would be nice to not have to worry about forgetting my wallet but oh well.

    I’m pretty much completely on FOSS now and really the only thing I miss, other than G Pay and compatibility with what other people use, is Google Maps, but Magic Earth is decent.

    Congrats! I made the switch a few months ago and haven’t looked back. Highly recommend everyone switch to GrapheneOS, even if you still use Google Play Services or other Google apps (obviously trying to get away from those is always the right move but it isn’t that simple for most people)

    Now just wish Google Pay or some other contactless payment could work with it…
