Good afternoon, y’all!
I have decided to take the plunge and switch over to Graphene OS. Is there anything I need to know before I use the web installer? I’m a bit bummed about having to set up all my apps again, but I’m exporting all my settings, thanks FOSS apps! to help with the transition. Most of my data is fully backed up through Nextcloud, so I’ll be able to just jump straight in with my photos and data.
So yeah, any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated before I go through with it tonight. Thanks, y’all and again, I love being a part of the Lemmy community.
One of the only complaints I have, after using GoS for the past 2 phones, is that my bank requires Google’s Play Integrity software to run on the phone, for the bank app to work. So, the bank sent me a physical pocketable scanner to use with the mobile web version. Works for now. Annoying additional bit of hardware kit to not forget home. Other than that, I love GOS.
Which bank is it that went out of their way to send a physical device. It should be celebrated I think. Mine just said good luck and use a different phone or website.
ING Bank, The Netherlands.
is this not something you could sandbox under another user?
Great question: I tried it last year, the app launched, asked my credentials, then just stalled out. No error, no progression timer or animation, just sat there. So in my case, even with a secondary account on my GOS phone, with the sole intention of getting my bank’s app working: no.
