Wondering if there are any resources out there for customizing Graphene with the following requirements?
I want to build a productivity and local community focused version of GrapheneOS:
- No appstore
- Curated apps
- No social media
- No browser
- Any GPS-based apps would be vetted for privacy / location-sharing concerns
- Ideally no simple way to directly change any of this on the imaged device
My vision is the phone being limited to be only an effective productivity and essential communication device with other basic utilities: calculator, notes, messaging apps (WhatsApp, Signal, maybe others), fitness tracking, maps, some essential Microsoft services for Outlook, Teams, Office365... for people in your actual orbit whether it be community, business or friends, which maintains privacy and eliminates location tracking possibilities... also removing the potential for the user to get into mindless scrolling dopamine drip, time-wasting apps or services.
Just looking for direction on getting started, and if anyone knows of similar projects or initiatives I can look to for some inspiration/technical guidance regarding the details of modifying the image.
I'm about to pull the trigger on buying a Pixel and diving in, so if nothing else I'll post my progress here!
