Why I moved from GrapheneOS to iodéOS on my Google Pixel (the.unknown-universe.co.uk)

I’ve been using a de-Googled Android setup and found myself running into the same issue a lot of people probably do: the privacy-first option is great right up until the everyday stuff stops working properly.

In my case, banking apps and Android Auto were the sticking points. GrapheneOS was excellent in principle, but iodéOS ended up being the more practical fit for my actual use case.

I’d be interested to hear where other people draw that line between privacy, convenience, and reliability.

I'm grateful that most of my banking can be done directly through a browser on my phone or on a CPU (I also never used the apps before my switch).

I don't have a infotainment system in my car, CoMaps and BT audio is all I really need anyway

i've made this a requirement for everything i pay for, including my banking, and testimonials about graphene and lineage are making me glad that i did.
