Installed grapheneOS on my pixel (finally) the other day. Actually was loving stock, until it got corrupted due to a bug. Had to factory reset to boot up again. Anyway, used that opportunity to install GOS.

NGL I do miss adaptive features and now playing, but I am liking GOS more and more day by day. Better battery life despite not having adaptive features, more security options like sensor permission and scopes, auto reboot if not unlocked feature and all that.

I use GPay and my bank app on a secondary profile. works seamlessly. Some UI improvements and adaptive features and it will be on par with the stock pixel experience itself.

    SOT for stock OS from last charge was 4h52m, SOT for GOS was 4h36m.

    Battery curve shows sharper dips on the stock rom, though at times it’s usage (for work due to needing maps) is understandable.

    Battery curve on the GOS has more gentle dips, but more consistently. Surprisingly at the same percentage of charge, the projected 0% is different by close to an hour between the two.

    I have been using the stock ROM for a couple years now, whereas the GOS ROM has only been in use 6-8mths. So I expect there’s a level of learning occuring over time based on usage, as well as a likely (small) loss in capacity for the older handset.

    I do often find both are surprisingly accurate at predicting with a reasonable accuracy when to expect to charge.
