And for anyone going to a protest to get a cheap burner and flash graphene, then leave your normal phone at home. You can swap phones on your plan pretty easily.
Alternatively, for the very paranoid, go set up a prepaid and anon line and move your device there. Pay cash for the card and set it up online at a public library.
Especially if you’re planning on a little civil disobedience.
Just a reminder, if police think something is about to go down, they’ll spoof the tower and collect device information… including things like phone numbers so if your suddenly changing behavior to go somewhere and do something the fascists dickfucks in office won’t like… best be paranoid.
A second device will still at least keep them from getting all your personal shit. And seriously,
Don’t just turn off your normal phone. Leave it at home.
I highly recommend graphene.

GrapheneOS is too locked down, so unless you are in need of high security, it is not really the best experience
It’s not more locked down than iOS imo
that is not a particularly high bar
You can permit absolutely everything and make it just as bad as the stock OS if you want to.
if that were the case i would still use it. however there was no way i could give Gadget-Bridge the “display over other apps” permission
I don’t remember offhand, but I think that’s buried in a restricted settings area… I needed it for something I can’t remember now.
Edit:
Settings > Apps >Special app access > Display over other apps
i looked in every sensible sub menu, and i could give other apps the permission, just not Gadget-Bridge. on lineageks it worked instantly
