Vica153 Just installed GrapheneOS on my pixel 6. Everything was working fine, but I decided to do a factory reset and migrate data from my other phone. After doing the reset the Google Play services app and sandbox seem to have disappeared.
Oggyo It's not included by default. You have to add it manually using Apps app. Not all users need Google Services.
csis01 Yep. If graphene was force-tainted with that crap, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Kind of pointless to try to be "secure" by force feeding your customers spyware.
