Hi! I am new here and new to GrapheneOS. I could successfully install it from my Linux via terminal. I strictly do not use anything from Google. But I have to use several apps, which are not available from F-Droid and can only be found on GooglePlay or apkpure.com etc. Of course I want to control those apps by apps like AdAway or AF-Wall as I used to on my old Samsung Galaxy with LineageOS in rooted status:
The first is AF-Wall. But it is only operable on rooted devices. I would like to have a replacement for this, because I want to have detailed control, whether an app may use WiFi or mobile net or nothing. There are many apps, which do not need any network connection.
So I have tried NetGuard Firewall, which will insert a virtual VPN within the device. But it seems to be incompatible with GrapheneOS, because after installation and activation, no app could connect to network services.
I miss a app with a firewall function on GrapheneOS. – Or is it, that such Firewall is not necessary on GrapheneOS?
Second I would lie to use AdAway. This app will function without root access, but the will insert a virtual VPN similar to NetGuard Firewall and with the same result: No other app can connect to network services any more. So my question is, whether there is no need for an app like AdAway on GrapheneOS, because it would suppress unwanted ads on system level. Or does someone know of an app, which would be compatible with GrapheneOS?
Third, I would like to control the charge levels of the battery in order to increase battery life. The only apps, I know, demand root. So my question is, whether there is an app, which would control battery charging and is compatible with GrapheneOS.
