Thread for discussing 3rd party app compatibility.

Gira that is the setting that will affect it as the hardening and improved security of GOS has demonstrated BimmerApp to have a latent memory corruption bug that the developer hasn't resolved, the only way to get these apps working that need this function is to disable the hardening.

The project added the feature to ensure that people could have the option to remain no compromise and find alternate apps or for those that don't wish to or can't for whatever reason they can make the informed decision to disable it.

GrapheneOS is for everyone™ after all ;)

I have an issue on GOS with a few battery alert apps that tell me if I'm over a certain % of charge. I use this so that my battery stays in better health for longer.

I have found that regardless of the app I use (BatteryBot, Battery Alarm) they refuse to start up automatically when the phone boots up. I need to manually open them before they start to alert me.

This did not happen on stock, and understandably, on GOS (even the stable branch) I need to often reboot my phone.

Would love to hear any workarounds to get this working as intended after a reboot. I did not find enabling more permissions helped, but maybe I missed something.

Thank you!

MetropleX Thanks, that's good to know, I've seen so much back and forth on it in the last decade that I didn't know what the right answer was.

But I'm also curious - why would these apps start up automatically on stock but not on GrapheneOS?

Anyone here uses Session messenger with GOS? Wonderful little app but I'm having issues with notifications

thrik I don't know GrapheneOS doesn't make any changes to how direct boot works or change anything that should stop those apps starting. I know Orbot starts up fine for example when toggled on to start on boot.

Must be app specific or a missed setting.

Has anyone used Kiwix from F-Droid? The application says that it needs access to storage but that doesn't appear to be an option in the settings. It's possible that this is an issue with the app itself but then I would assume many other people would be complaining of if it was.

Is Netguard compatible with graphene? When I enable it, all apps are kicked offline. The reason I am trying to use it is graphene doesn't seem to have a toggle for mobile data vs wifi network access and is all or none.

ieVai2 yes, NetGuard is compatible with GrapheneOS.

Hymix I wonder if this could have to do with Settings. For example, when you start a new user Profile there will be some default Settings that it's possible you had previously modified in the Owner profile.

Davis Have you been running SingPass on GrapheneOS and has it been working for you? I’m looking at picking up a Pixel for GrapheneOS too.

Proton main APK from proton website would not install. I turned on USB debugging and it installed. Did I do it wrong?

Despite not using a VPN, etc, still dealing with the same problem with Signal.

This thread is too broad and needs to be split up.

I successfully installed SingPass from the Play Store on GrapheneOS. Everything seems to work, but I can't confirm that all functionalities do because I haven't exhaustively explored them. The profile services (like documents, including viewing vaccination certificates and corresponding QR codes) all appear to work perfectly. IIRC there was some weird message the very first time I opened the Singpass app (something about my phone running a custom OS, don't fully remember what it said cuz it was weeks ago), but it didn't stop me from using the App; it was just a one-time popup.

meijin3 I'm finding Kiwix does the same on my 6a. I'm off to check Reddit, if I find something I'll let you know.
