trythis3 You mean reset to original google Pixel 9? Or u mean re-flash Graphene? Does "reset" function take me back to an original Graphene, or original Android 16 for Pixel9?
Yes, Factory reset. Also factory resetting GrapheneOS is the same as flashing GrapheneOS. So there's no need to re-do all the web-install or CLI steps.
Go to Settings > Reset options > Erase all data (factory reset)
trythis3 Further, are you suggesting that for this app I should specifically login to a/my google account (eg, using vanadium?) and go to actual Google Play Store, where I then download the Abode app from the playstore...as opposed to from the Aurora Store?
Yes, exactly. Read through the information and steps to install from the GrapheneOS website:
trythis3 If so, I thought this was contra Graphene's raison d'etre?
No, this is false. GrapheneOS was not designed to avoid Google at all costs. It was designed to safeguard users privacy and security while still having a usable phone. You do not avoid Google by installing apps from Aurora store.
