installing new screen on Pixel 6a running GrapheneOS

pixelshadow

Hi everyone. I cracked the screen on my Pixel 6a and am about to replace it with a new one, using a kit from ifixit. Is there anything I should be aware of beforehand?

I've heard people running the Google stock OS needed to recalibrate the fingerprinter reader at https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/udfps, but I'm not sure what/if there is anything I should do in Graphene.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

And thanks in particular to the team. I've been using Graphene as my daily driver for a few weeks now, and it's great.

You will still need to calibrate. Changing the screen is not difficult, just watch some tutorials

In case anyone else ever has to do a screen replacement:

The only way I could get the fingerprint sensor working again was to go back to stock Android, then reinstall Graphene.

So the recalibration software requires stock Pixel OS?

When I tried to use the fingerprint reader in Graphene after I put on the new screen, I rec'd an error message (can't remember the details now). It wasn't a question of the new screen not being able to read my fingerprint, but of Graphene not allowing access via fingerprint at all.

Since I didn't get any other answers here, the easiest/fastest solution I could come up with was just to flash a clean install of stock Android, then reinstall Graphene. Then the fingerprint reader worked no problem.
