much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Today I learned that Vanadium has a search widget, so thanks for the post :D
It gets me wondering, I have never use a search bar widget in my life and I find them rather setting in the way.. My search bar is just 1 tap away inside Firefox, which is also on the desktop... I've not seen many people around me use it
Do people really use it?
Well I used to use it when I was still using normal Android. When I open Vanadium I get greeted with the last page I visited and I get distracted from that, so a search widget helps me.
I think I can live without playstore completely but I might need K-9 with Google emails for some stuff on my device, so I guess I'm not escaping Google spying on my IP address anytime soon. Other than that, I don't use Google or apps from the playstore at all
Sorry for the noob question, but are you able to access your banking apps with GrapheneOS? If so, how?
Most apps should work with no issues. There’s a compatibility list at https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/
What are your concerns regarding using your SIM card?
It's actually nothing but beginner paranoia. Will it work properly even on a custom ROM, is the main question spinning in my head.
Works for me on Verizon and has for 5+ years. Google Fi even works as I've tried that with a different phone on GrapheneOS.
When I last used Graphene, it was on a pixel 4 XL, and I used a Google Fi sim card just fine. Texting, specifically MMS was borked, group chats would just be massive sentences of spaghetti letters. Other than that though, issue free.
Same issues here. I love GOS but I need basic things like SMS/MMS/RCS to work, and right now they just don't.
