Weirdly it's not installed on my pixel 9. I shudder every time this piece of shit updates.
I know I should install graphene and I will but right now my life is a fiasco and I just can't undertake the slightest risk that an essential won't work. I've been installing custom roms since the PDA days so it's not that.
I installed graohene on a pixel 9a some weeks ago. Zero prior knowledge. Never done any ROM phone stuff. Its just following a tutorial and clicking some buttons in a browser and on the phone. Like 20 mins or so?
Please spare me your enthusiasm, I cannot bear any risk that my banking app won't work or anything else along those lines.
You're not really listening.
I know what I'm doing, I'm just not going to do it rn because I'm smart enough to know better.
If I remember correctly the google sandboxing should make up for that, though I'd suggest finding someone with your exact problem
Its not the PDA days anymore. They're not ROMs anymore. Its a very easy and painless operation. Just plug it in and click some buttons in the browser.
Although it does involve restoring the system so...just make sure everything is backed up!
