Well pretty nice except for paid app that don't work under calyx otherwise it feel reply nice to not have additional layer on android . (and no in app ads that s cool)

Really? Which apps don't habe ads anymore after the switch? I perdonally just don't use apps with ads (all apps from F-Droid), so this is rather new to me.

Well for example I use sync for lemmy in free version and I don't have any ads . but I can t use sync ultra because that an in app paid option , and since I don't have the google services on my phone that don't work.

Huh, never heard of Sync... But interesting that thus disables ads in these apps.

Sync was a popular 3rd app for reddit and I used it until they block it after that I came from reddit to lemmy when there was only jerboa . When sync for lemmy came out I re switched to it because I was more familiar with the ui .

Just carrier branded BS in general. I'm unable to install Graphene because of TMobile.

There exists an unexpectedly well made 4D minesweeper, if that sounds fun to ya

Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 2y

Eh, I like the simplicity of 2d minesweeper

Hell yeah. I switched from iOS to a Pixel running GrapheneOS a month ago and I've been loving it.

Yay, gg for degoogled your phone ! GrapheneOS user here, on Pixel 6a. For now, I didn't have any trouble, even though I'm a fairly advanced Android user.

I literally gave my iphone away and went straight into pixel 3 and calyxOS, been loving it! Got termux, and therefore have zotify working on a debian instance so downloading music is an absolute brease :3

Degoogled my pixel. I will use that after my surgery 😄

Or am I just weird for thinking it is a nice phrase to use for transitioning.

Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Do you mean it as in decrapify myself? If so, I really like that metaphor <3

NaoPb@eviltoast.org · 2 pts · 2y

Yes, but also as a convenient way to not have to talk about certain bodyparts that tend to give us dysphoria.

Like: I feel so much better after my pixel was degoogled.

I'm running Kenvyra (Lineage fork) on my Mi 9T, still with microg, but otherwise google free pretty neat and good for battery life :3
