Have you considered voluntary redundancy?

No.

Have you considered involuntary redundancy?

Have they done layoffs yet?

I really should switch to Graphene

[–] LedgeDrop@lemm.ee 28 points 1 day ago (9 children)

Can I install my bank app on it yet? I remember having problems with attestation in the past.

What about full application backups? I've got a few offline apps, I'd like to transfer the data to/from. However, I thought grapheneOS needed the application developer to "approved" this backup/restore method - or you needed root (which invalidated attestation)... I don't recall which it was (but I really miss titanium backup).

Which banking app? I can try to install and launch it, tho I probably won't ask for your login to test that, haha

Does Stanford Federal Credit Union launch?

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

This one also needed me to enable “exploit protection compatibility mode” for the app to get it to stop crashing immediately on launch, but it doesn’t complain about attestation or anything. I get right to the login screen. Seems fine from what I can see without a login!

We appreciate your community service.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 4 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

You're gonna get piled on with requests now.

...on that note, any chance you'd try the Servis Credit Union app?

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Can't find that app, is it "Servus" instead?

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)
[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 6 points 18 hours ago

I had to enable “exploit protection compatibility mode” for the app. Otherwise it just sits on the logo indefinitely. But after enabling that compatibility mode it launches fine, asked me for location permissions (which I denied), and I can get to where I enter User ID to login.

Seems fine from what I can see without a login!

Can you give RBC (royal bank of Canada) banking app a shot for me if you don't mind?

Hey thanks a lot! I appreciate that you took time out of your day to check for me :)

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Welcome! Seems like a fairly low-effort way for me to help nudge folks towards GrapheneOS <3

my bank app is specificially listed as working but i would def check

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

And as a follow up question to this, are there any container apps to run those apps that won't work in a way that they think they are running on stock android?

Imagine all of this talent going to work for grapheneOS and/or hardware company willing to make a phone with grapheneOS as its OS.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Does grapheneOS have paid devs or is it all volunteer work? And if they do pay devs, how do they get the money to pay them?

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 11 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Lead dev accepts donations for the project (username "thestinger" on github)

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 16 hours ago

Not only that, but they apparently also get large amounts of donations in crypto currencies. They also allow donating via PayPal or bank transfer. They set up a whole Canadian non-profit foundation in 2023. GrapheneOS isn't a small niche project anymore, it's actually a sizable organization with paid staff (see https://grapheneos.org/hiring). @Buddahriffic@lemmy.world

I'd rather see phones with Ubuntu Touch, PostMarketOS, and Mobian OS's.

[–] rishado@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Why would you rather see that over graphene? Don't know enough about either

Same. They just don't do what I need on my phone. Hopefully that changes, but PinePhone HW kinda sucks (poor battery life and audio quality), and most of the other phones w/ Linux support have some pretty serious caveats.

[–] FreeBooteR69@lemmy.ca 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I'm using a pixel 3a xl with ubuntu touch. Works great!

Same, I'm really tired of the annoying Android logic. I wish we could have a logical OS where we could manage our files properly instead of the filesystem mess we currently have with stuff all over the place.

It didn't matter when the phones just had a few megs of storage, but you can carry some serious data on those things nowadays.

I’m ready for Linux-phone, but maybe GraphineOS is my gateway. I’m tired of my iPhone not doing the things it should.

[–] conartistpanda@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't android technically linux?

[–] TK420@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

I dunno to be honest.

Just give me mobile Debian, and I’ll be happier.
