I used GrapheneOS as a daily driver for about two months on my Pixel 7. I ended up having to switch back:
-
RCS messaging just doesn't work. No matter what I tried, RCS would never connect so all texts were being sent OTA in the clear - not great when using a security-focused OS.
-
Notifications just stopped working despite permissions being in place. Apps with all permissions just did not send notifications.
-
Apps that rely on background updates do not update unless manually opened.
-
Calls went straight to voicemail after my first web-based USB install - I reflashed GrapheneOS and the issue went away for a little while, then returned.
-
Less control over my phone's settings than I have in stock Android.
It's a good idea and I wanted it to work, but it's still just not stable nor ready for daily use.
Per https://phiresky.github.io/lemmy-federation-state/site?domain=daring.lemmy.fan it still appears that federation is lagging with 0.19.0-rc.1 Looks like federation is indeed working.
Test posting from https://daring.lemmy.fan running 0.19.0-rc.1 to check federation.
