I just bought a Pixel 8a and I'm planning to install GrapheneOS on it. Are there any other recommendations?
So today I finally took the plunge and bought a new Pixel 8a to install GrapheneOS on. It will be my new daily driver, replacing my current phone. It's getting delivered tomorrow, and I'd like to make sure I'm getting the full privacy/security benefits from the device. What other recommendations would you provide?
Get a usb-charge only cable/adapter for when you want to charge it when out and about.
Get a usb-c to headphone adapter.
Play around with multi-profile alerts, and work profiles for separation.
Play around with file-scopes, and contact scopes.
All y'all downvoting recommendations: That's a really negative way to participate in a community. People are genuinely giving their earnest real lived recommendations (i haven't seen one meme recommendation in this thread) and some of you downvote them for it. We wouldn't have anything to talk about if we all thought exactly the same thing, and had the same opinions.
I try to figure out why some people are habitual downvoters, and I have some archtype theories:
I don't 100% agree with what you said, but 99% we are on the same page
I have serious moral objections to your content being off topic, or offensive
I misclicked (or swipped to hard) and was trying to upvote
I stopped reading the messages, and I'm just downvoting your name all the way down the thread because of something you said at the top of the thread.
Example in this same discussion, one person is downvoting ANYONE who mentions a keyboard app that isn't the keyboard app they recommended. That would be personality type 1.
