Hi,
I decided to give GrapheneOS on my new Google Pixel 7 Pro a try after I used CalyxOS for a few years.
Unfortunately, I have to use some Google apps like MS Teams for work (also get these notifications fast and use it often) and a (good) navigation App and the Google Camera. In CalyxOS i liked that microG-services and Aurora Store take care of my privacy. But I understand that it makes sense to put a little more into security so as not to create an even greater loss in privacy.
Now i am wondering what the best setup is to meet my requirements (privacy is very important to me but i need the above apps in everyday life).
As I read in the FAQ a good way could be to install Shelter to manage the work profile where I install the Google Play Store + Services and all needed Google Apps. The main profile stays Google Free but with F-Droid.
But I have some questions left:
- Do you think this is a good way for my needs?
- How to install the Google Apps exactly? Clone the Graphene “Apps”-App with Shelter to the Work Profile? Or clone the 3 Google Services Apps (Google Play Store etc.) directly to the Work profile? But how to update these 3 Google Services apps then?
- How to install (and update) the google Camera to the main profile? As I tried “Gcam Services Provider” can’t be installed due to the Google Play Services installation in the work profile.
