Hey everyone! I am interested in switching from CalyxOS to Graphene, but I have a few concerns about usability as I am currently testing it on my 3a.
- I run some privacy-invasive apps and Google Play Store apps. How can I make it the most usable between splitting up apps between profiles, Neo Store and Aurora Store/Play Store? Apps like Protonmail that are reasonably private also rely upon google for notifications.
- How strong is the app sandbox compared to stock Android? Is the work profile really even necessary given the stronger sandbox?
- I have read all the materials regarding sandboxed play services but I am still confused how its privacy compares to MicroG. I understand that you are able to grant it only the permissions necessary to get apps to run, but then what is sent back to Google for that? For example, I use Garmin to track my runs so it requires location access. How would the privacy compare between using MicroG and sandboxed GPS for this feature?
Thanks!
