Hey

I am planning on putting graphenos (or another os) on my pixel (currently using a pixel 6 but will have a pixel 8 shortly). I have a few questions about using then new os. Mainly are there any apps that don’t work. I use my phone for work being a OTP to logine daily etc is that still possible and reliable. There is one game I play on phone downloaded from the play store is that still possible? Lastly how do updates come can I download an update regularly from phone or do I have to plug into PC each time and know there is an update ready and how would you revert back to Google os if needed.

Sorry if that is a lot I just feel scared to take the “leap” into what is for me unknown. Thanks

    I use it on pixel 6a. I have encountered no problems, all apps have worked including games from google play store. Only exception is google wallet.

    Edit: updates come over the air

      Does Google wallet and maps work in sandboxed pay services environment?

      Can you create another work profile besides the one for Google Play services?

        Yes, but touchless payments do not work.

        I believe so, but someone else confirm (I use just 1 profile).

      Can you use the play store like normal on gOS or do you have to use the container environment?

        You install the Google services and Play store from the gOS Apps application, then use them like normal.

        Behind the scenes they run in the sandboxed environment, but to the user it makes no difference.

        It will be kept in its own container but I have noticed no significant changes to how play store apps work.
