questions about grapheneos

beidoubagel

i want to install grapheneos on my pixel 6a but i have a few questions first:

#1: i cant enable oem unlocking because its "unavailable on carrier locked devices". grapheneos said that i need to "...update it to the June 2022 release or later via an over-the-air update. After you've updated it you'll also need to factory reset the device to fix OEM unlocking.". how can i do that?

#2: can i double click the power button to open the camera? i use it a lot and really like it.

#3: can i use rcs messaging? i would guess i would just need to install the google messages app.

#4: does google messages for web work with grapheneos?

beidoubagel cant enable oem unlocking because its "unavailable on carrier locked devices".

If it's not OEM-unlockable due to a carrier lock, there is no way around that.

Google's very first software release for the 6a had a bug, so OEM unlocking wouldn't work for any 6a with that software. That language applies only to 6a devices running Google's OS from early 2022, which I think would have been Android 12.
