Why I moved from GrapheneOS to iodéOS on my Google Pixel (the.unknown-universe.co.uk)

I’ve been using a de-Googled Android setup and found myself running into the same issue a lot of people probably do: the privacy-first option is great right up until the everyday stuff stops working properly.

In my case, banking apps and Android Auto were the sticking points. GrapheneOS was excellent in principle, but iodéOS ended up being the more practical fit for my actual use case.

I’d be interested to hear where other people draw that line between privacy, convenience, and reliability.

I weigh my ideals against the possibilities and make compromises along the way. Thats not regurgitating propaganda but my reality. Feel free to get things working the way they should be in a privacy first setting and I'll applaude you. I can't yet I live at least part of my ideals.
