Hello community!
So grapheneOS is kinda boring with its plain UI but all others are non private ive been thinking about getting a iPhone but as of https://edit.tosdr.org/points/19963 they are worse than i thought and in future a app here in sweden called BankID will be very useful to me to authorize payments and such otherwise ill have to de everything manually which may take a lot longer in person instead of on internet in 15 mins but sadly graphene does not support it :( so i kinda want something that does not track me too much and are less boring like i feel im not being tracked as a teenager i feel yes graphene is amazing in privacy but it lacks life after a while of using it like yeah i can watch newpipe message on signal but really what more no gimmick animation faceid or ecosystem i mean yes you could get the pinetime but its useless in my opinion after i used it a week. i hope you could understand this message and help me and others figure out a way how do i resolve this dilemma?
Privacy Thoughts, Bankapp and Questions..
x44 I was under the impression that the BankID app does work on GrapheneOS, as per: https://github.com/PrivSec-dev/banking-apps-compat-report/issues/8
Is it not working for you?

You need to determine what's important to you and run with it. Seeking opinion from others won't help you, because we all live in different countries and have our own personalized threat models based on that plus many other things different to you.

Hi x44,
Some random thoughts:
- I'm super happy GOS is lacking "bling" you describe. World is full of zombies glued to their rectangles as is - I want my tech to be less addictive, not more and hope GOS will stay a functional, secure OS. Not a twerking, gaudy abomination, flashing and loud in every way. (Although I didn't feel this way when I was a teen).
- GOS' purpose is to offer you more control over your security and privacy. If you buy a sports car, for the things it offers (acceleration, cornering), it's not fitting to complain it has small trunk or doesn't drive well on gravel.
- There are 100, 000 ways to spice up your phone with widgets and apps of your choice. One can make it as garish and loud as you want. People add, animated screensavers, fireworks for notifications etc. That is still all available to you.
Hope this helps...
