Migrating to grapheneos. (lemmy.ml)

2 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I’m thinking of migrating to grapheneos from ios, what are some things that I should be aware of? Keep in mind, I haven’t used android in about 3 or 4 years and have basically been using an iPhone since the 3GS. Any heads up or tips would be helpful. I’m just really tired of apples new business model and current executives, and am trying to move to all free software. Thanks in advanced.

Whatever you do, don't use the search of the fdroid app. Find apps either via recommendation or by searching something like "calculator site:f-droid.org". Some things aren't as integrated as on iOS or Androids from Manufacturers. For example the camera app has no qr code scanner built in. Also the share menu often doesn't behave like you would expect it. If you share a Wikipedia link with the Wikipedia app it doesn't open the article but instead puts the URL in the search bar and doesn't find the article.

Apps I can recommend: Thunder (Lemmy) Calculator++ Organic Maps Trail Sense (Outdoor stuff) Antennapod (Podcasts) NewPipe (YouTube) Aegis (2FA) OpenCamera ClipboardCleaner Personaldnsfilter (System wide Adblock)

Games: Feudal Tactics, Unciv, Lemuroid, Open Golf
