Hello,
I recently purchased a Pixel 8 and want to make the switch to GrapheneOS. I haven't flashed a phone before but I feel like I'll be able to do it with the instructions on the main website and watching some youtube videos. This is probably a question with an obvious answer but: do I activate the phone through my cellular carrier before installing Graphene? I haven't decided whether I want to try it with the eSIM or just go to a store and having a regular SIM put in the device yet, but I want to make sure I'm doing the order correctly before I spend a lot of time doing it incorrectly. Thanks in advance for any help.
