thinking about paying $500 for a pixel 6 to nuke it and install either lineage or graphene. Main reasons: security, I want to degoogle, hate bloatware, I want complete freedom to choose what apps I want on my device, smartphones are notoriously known for their short support cycles (to me 4 years is not enough).

what I don’t know is why graphene developers have chosen proprietary hardware from what has to be one of the most foss unfriendly companies

      I try to use Magic earth as much as possible, also because I like the dashcam feature. But more than once when entering a street address/number it sent me in the wrong spot. Or searching for places by name instead of address I get the right results maybe 50% of the time. But if I know exactly where I want to go and can pinpoint it on the map, it’s great!

      Now tbh I’ve found a bug (or something I can’t figure out anyway) and the sound doesn’t work on graphene. I need to look into it a bit more but can be a problem.

      Never heard of GW maps and the only results seem about Guild Wars maps…
