I just installed Graphene on a new pixel. I've only used it for two days, but I got that same feeling of "finding buried treasure in your backyard" I got when I first installed Linux in 1999. I can't believe this amazing software is free in all senses of the word. It is a TON of work and they got so much right. The security and usability settings give all the grainular control I've known was possible and wanted for a long time.

I see some core team on this thread, so just wanted to say THANK YOU! Awesome job! Keep fighting for the users!

I'm totally the wrong person to offer recommendations on mobile, but so far it works very well for me, but then, I use almost no third party apps, and none of them are Play store only. My only complaint is the hardware (outside of their control).

Where do you get the apps from? Google's App Store?

>>1024co+sK
Obtanium[1], F-Droid[2], Aurora Store[3] and FFUpdater[4] are some options. Signal self updates from the APK download[6].

I recommend putting proprietary Play Store apps grabbed with Aurora Store in the work profile with Shelter[5].

I put them in the private space. Is there an advantage on putting them in the work profile?

>>shaky-+dT
Private space is identical to work profile. In the past, private space didn't exist and people used work profile instead as a workaround, but now that's not needed.

Private Space has a superior approach to isolation and encryption matching user profiles. Work profiles have some compromises for historical reasons. Private Space should be preferred over a work profile and the only reason to use a work profile for your own local usage is to use both a work profile and Private Space at the same time. Once GrapheneOS has support for multiple Private Spaces within a user, the use case for work profiles will be limited to the intended Bring Your Own Device enterprise deployment purpose. The intended purpose of work profiles is companies not having to give their employees work phones but rather owning/controlling a specific profile on their device with some influence over the overall device via rules for lock method, etc.
