The GrapheneOS team strongly recommend against rooting devices. Google Wallet doesn't support them as they won't pass Google's Safety Net. Never tried to root a GrapheneOS device so not sure if it's possible to force a pass.

These are the ones I've been taking for a while.

There's a D3 only bottle with a higher dose if that's what you're after.

Signal has stated they won't be connecting with WhatsApp/Meta as it would reduce their user's privacy.

Signal has stated they won't be opening to communicating with other services (like WhatsApp) as it would reduce their user's privacy.

I did see that one a few weeks ago. I haven't tried it out yet. I keep forgetting to try installing it when I'm around my computer (to manually extract the glide-typing library).

They do. I haven't tried out their cloud offering yet. Even without that though, I've found the builds running faster with just their change detection and caching systems.

We're still using Yarn and Lerna on our projects at work. We're about to start a fresh new build though and have been looking at NX for the new setup. From our PoCs it works a lot better. Lots less rebuilding and bootstrapping with it's built-in caching. Looking forward to implementing it properly.

Still want to look into Yarn 2 and see if it works with it.

I have been using GrapheneOS on a 7 Pro since the start of the year and it's been great.

Similar to you I'm trying to degoogle. I've got Google Play Services installed only in a secondary profile which isn't allowed to run in the background. So it's only ever able to run when I absolutely need it. Down to only one app now that requires it, so can hopefully remove it completely soon.

On my primary profile I do still have a few Google apps. Namely Google Camera (GrapheneOS is still in the process of getting full parity with it) and GBoard (haven't found a open source one I like as much yet). Both of them I've denied any network access, so they can't do any tracking at all.

I haven't had any stability issues since I switched. The updates have been pretty frequent and very seamless.

I noticed this morning that mine is saying "No apps available" too. Not sure if the issue is withy Aurora or Google

I've swapped to using it since I switched to GrapheneOS. Only apps I've got using it so far are Tusky (Mastodon), Molly (Signal fork with UnifiedPush), and some of my self hosted stuff which allows for web hooks.

I really hope it catches on in more apps. Especially as their library has automatic fallback to Google's service.

Signal doesn't encrypt notifications from what I understand. It uses Google/Apples notification system like everything else. But the notification only says "Hey, wake up!". Then the Signal app goes and retrieves the message from Signal's servers. That retrieval will be encrypted, but it's outside the push notification system at the point.

It's not about it being locked. It's being able to re-lock it after unlocking. You can unlock it, flash something like GrapheneOS on to it and then re-lock it. If it's left unlocked, then anyone with a few minutes access to your phone could flash anything over the top allowing them to bypass the standard protections, install any app as at the system level.
