features request and one severe issue about downloading apps

[deleted]

Some features would be amazing :
Extreme Battery Saver
Double tap on the back of Pixel 7 to put the light on.
long press on volume buttons to control music (it was on android 12)
better sound alarms and phone ringings !!!!
A better/simpler way to set up TTS
It seems that I do not have Photo and face unblur on Google Photos with play services installed and internet access on.

Several apps can not be installed on Play Store or even Aurora ! For Google Wellbeing, Twint Prepaid, Google Lens, Google Photoscan. This is a severe issue posted here.

Thank you a lot for all your hard work I love GOS it is amazing ♥️

It's unlikely any of these features would be added unless they are implemented upstream in AOSP. GrapheneOS is not much interested in developing and maintaining UI/UX frills.

You can add your own preferred ringtone.

I'm unsure about these, somebody else would need to comment.

I have installed Google Lens from Google Play Store on GrapheneOS. It works fine. It looks as if I'd be able to install Google Photoscan fine too, though I haven't tried.

Adding the word "extreme" really doesn't mean anything. GrapheneOS is better on power consumption than factory, ESPECIALLY if you do NOT install gservices.

Yes I did it but it would be nice to have them integrated into the system for increased facility

RHVoice and so on do not work well or only in English so I have to use Google TTS

I could install them too but when I open them they say that they were developed for an older version of Android... This is a real issue that play store does not let install some apps. digital wellbeing can not be found even on aurora

[deleted] have you tried usageDirect from F-Droid instead of Digital Wellbeing? Would it cover your needs?

[deleted]

[deleted] thank you ! I did not wanted to Download it because it is only avalaible on fdroid but it seems to be my only option. Do you know how to set up a RSS feed to update it ?

[deleted]

[deleted] I use F-Droid app, update it straight from there. Anyway, usageDirect has not been updated for a while, perhaps further development is in limbo but it seems to work very well for what I need it (see how much I use each app and simple but effective statistics). With me F-Droid is a given, a trusted party (and I know how much it was said about its safety). I used Obtainium but that failed me multiple times and I don't use RSS, most of the "readers" leak a lot of metadata from what I have seen on Internet.

You can download Google Sounds 3.0 from apkmirror (or other sites, weirdly it's not on aurora store) to use the stock ring tones.

Another feature request : since the foundation will be canadian, I propose that french become the editorial language of GrapheneOS instead of english /s

Eirikr70 We speak ENGLISH in Canada. Even in Quebec, majority speaks English, its just politics and a few jackasses who insist on French.
