    It was a genuine question, as I have no idea about that website.

  • Just a question, hah.
    But I guess the answer is no, not safe.

    A bit ironic that this behavior is the same as Google or certain apps' blanket distrust towards any non-stock OS like GrapheneOS.

    • While browsing for an older .APK file, I found this modded APK that supposedly has the premium version of tradingview unlocked. It's on a site called [redacted]

      There is also the regular 1.20.47.1.1001655 version.

      Anyways, I was wondering if anyone knows this site and if it's safe? Especially the modded version I'm skeptical about.

      • Came here to report the same issue.

        Since the new OS update, can't check my watchlist anymore. App completely stopped working and gave a crash report.

      • To add to this, since no one has mentioned it…

        Been using Graphene for about 8 months now and current setup is to have nothing Google on my owner profile, then a 2nd user that has Google play and invasive apps like maps and gmail and what not. Then a 3rd user profile for banking and business apps.

        This has been working pretty sweet, except for not being able to use widgets or PWA's in secondary user profiles. Or at least, I'm able to use them, but as soon as I go to the owner profile, the widgets/PWAs disappear from the screen/menus. Having to constantly set them again is a bit annoying, and not very usable. This is an AOSP bug, and won't be fixed anytime soon, as it's been there for years and probably not a priority for google as these use-cases are pretty niche.

        So now considering switching my operations to make the owner profile my daily driver, with the widgets and PWAs I like to use, so that they will stay put whenever I switch profiles. Still considering if I need google stuff on the main profile, but I'll probably test doing without and keep the 2nd user profile with the invasive apps. Apart from privacy advantages, it's also a good way of not being distracted by the bullshit apps too much.

      • prompter that's sad.
        Having the same issues here.

        These annoyances and inconveniences are making me think again if Graphene really is for me? I'm complicating my setup, taking a lot of extra steps. And then turns out the shit I want to use doesn't really work as it's supposed to.

      • I don't worry too much about it, but as I said, even if I do give full permissions, it doesn't work.

        Nothing I do makes it work.
        There's no way to click on the phone number inside of WhatsApp app and then save to contacts either, which is normally the case.

      • I know whatsapp is suckerberg spyware, and not sure how much we can trust that end-to-end encryption.

        But I have reinstalled it since I am a frequent traveler, and most of the world is using it, even for business. I only have it on my secondary user profile, though, where I have other invasive apps installed as well.

        No matter what I do on Graphene, I keep just seeing the phone number, and it says they are not a contact.
        Even though I added them to contact scopes, even though I give whatsapp full permission access to my contact list, even though I give Google play store full access to my contacts, nothing changes. I tried adding them to my contact in the main profile where I don't have whatsapp installed, same shit, doesn't work.

        Only when I add those contacts on my old Redmi phone, I get to save them and see their names in whatsapp, instead of just a number. Pretty annoying, I feel.

        Contact scopes don't seem to work on my Pixel 7a GrapheneOS system?

        • Reading the answers here, does that mean that if we use the same app in different user profiles, it takes more available space from our phone too?
