GrapheneOS: Wow, this OS respects my PRIVACY compared to Apple iOS
I reviewed NextDNS logs for my GrapheneOS device after it sat untouched for 7.5 hours and wanted to see how many times GrapheneOS, and other apps, would trigger DNS queries. The results are staggering and proves how much more privacy respecting GrapheneOS is compared to Apple iOS.

GrapheneOS: Using a USB drive to transfer files between user profiles
Переглядів 5 тис.2 роки тому

    Aloha, this is a great channel it's been a year or two since I saw this channel I'm still on iOS and have always been looking to get into graphene OS but haven't made the switch yet. I was wondering what is the emergency call feature like holding power button and volume or clicking 5 times. I hope you do more graphene OS teachings. Thank you as always.

    I have a very specific question regarding Contacts (Email, phone numbers, addresses, etc) in GrapheneOS.....specifically, how does one IMPORT contacts from Android? on my Android 14 Google phone, I have hundreds of contacts. I bought a used Pixel 6 Pro and did a fresh install of GrapheneOS yesterday, and everything seemed to work perfectly, but now I'm lost as to how to import thos Android contacts from my other Android 14 phone. I surely don't need to manually enter them one by one? I tried installing (temproarily) the Sandboxed Google Play / Services etc to install Textra and import my contacts from Google, but that was also not successful, so I uninstalled the Google Play / Services again. Sitting here with an empty Contacts apps, and feeling a little sorry for myself! :-) Can anyone give me some pointers? I saw an old Reddit that said that the GrapheneOS SMS app has an Import function but I don;t see it on yesterday's Raven distribution after I installed. HELP! 🙂

    Privacy noob here, sorry! Question......I don't have a Pixel to run GrapheneOS YET (but is planned!).....so with a Motorola Thinkphone running Android14, I tried to NOT install Google but the Android new phone setup process (I did a full factory reset to start fresh) REQUIRES that Google is setup as part of the initial setup process. Is this a given with Android 14 or is there a way to install those more private Play Stores without the Google Play Store? Excuse my ignorance! PS Thanks for the walkthrough of your apps....this is VERY useful for me! Subbed and Liked and video saved on YT (yes, I know....YT!!)

I've updated all my devices, signed everything in again, generated new keys, re authenticated everything......nothing works. I keep getting a 'server error please try again later' message. Turning on a simple feature shouldn't be this difficult, and I'm about to give up from even using iCloud as a result anyway.

      Sandboxed play services can not see the IMEI, like any other app. GrapheneOS simply doesn't provide that information to it. (That doesn't mean your carrier can't see the IMEI.)

    I JUST LOST A YEAR OF IMPORTANT PHOTOS!!! BACKUP FIRST!!! I guess I only have myself to blame really; but I watched 5+ long videos about GrapheneOS and installation walkthroughs, and I guess I still somehow just missed the memo to make sure your phone is COMPLETELY BACKED UP (PHOTOS, files, anything that you would lose if you could push one “wipe phone” button on your phone). Do not do a single step of installing GrapheneOS, before making sure you haven’t forgotten to backup EVERYTHING. RIP Dad, RIP Lily, RIP Patches; a year of saving things through pictures and screenshots gone, a year of a lot of photos of myself that now, I just won’t have a year of my life to be able to reference or look back at; just a year that I’ll pretend I was blackout drunk literally every day, because I literally have no other way of verifying that that year even happened tbh. Poof. RIP me

Sadly, I checked my setup along the one on your mobile as you showed. have the same setup but my signal installation is ending up in the 50% battery usage area, not in the low double digit as you do have. Any further hints? BTW, I moved to GrapheneOS nearly two years ago on a freshly bought Google Pixel 6a and I never, ever missed anything and will always do it again.

    A profile for Banking apps is in my mind no good idea. It happened to me before that someone copied my debit card and in the middle of the night I got a million messages from my banking app. Someone used my card data and paid 10 to 20 USD online. So I woke up, looked, blocked the card and reported it to my bank. If this would have been a different profile, I would never have received the push messages from the app. The profile for social media is a good idea. To bad my pixel doesn't have profile and it is to old for grapheneos.
