My pixel 7 is shitting the bed and I am considering upgrading and just installing graphene immediately on the new phone as part of my degoogling journey.

Is there anything I need to know about this? I work in IT, so I’m tech savvy. This is my first time installing graphene, however.

I’d be upgrading to a pixel 10 probably.

My carrier is verizon

    Installation was pretty easy. RCS is only available through the Google Messages app, and even then only seems to work with certain carriers. Other things that don’t work are NFC payments, Android Auto, and any app that uses the the Play Integrity API since it requires access to device identifiers.

    Some apps can be hit or miss, but there is an option to disable some of the exploit protections on an app by app basis, and that can sometimes get you signed in and then you can re-enable them.

    I make use of multiple users to keep certain apps isolated further.

    The forum is a good place to check the compatibility of specific apps. Personally I haven’t been very inconvenienced, and the trade off is well worth it.

    Edit: Android Auto does work now
