treequell I imagine that the Google Personal Safety app requires privileged access to the phone to enable all its SOS functions.
I'm not so sure, actually. The basic SOS function, aka the phone calling, is acactuallincluded in AOSP, and therefore Graphene (search "safety" in your Settings app to find it). Besides, any app can make a phone call, fetch location, or send an SMS with normal (unprivilege) permissions.
It's specifically the implementation of location and video capture/sharing that are currently missing. I haven't tried decompiling the Personal Safety APK, but the biggest privilege-related issue might be video capture while the phone is locked and screen is off.
Also, I haven't checked since I don't have a stock Pixel lying around, but I THINK the "automatic cloud upload" probably defaults to Google Drive. If we made a Graphene version of the app, we could add more cloud provider options, including Nextcloud.
Blastoidea No thanks, I’ll pass.
Thank you for your participation in this discussion. It can be valuable to hear the feelings of individual users regarding their specific use-cases. Rest assured, any implementation of Personal Safety would, as mentioned above, be completely opt-in.
