Moving to GrapheneOS
My beloved Essential Phone (PH-1) battery finally died. Rest in peace, my friend. As a result, I evaluated options for my next smartphone. I eventually settled on a Pixel 8 with GrapheneOS , which has better security than LineageOS . Post Install: Turn off Settings > Display > Adaptive brightness (doesn't seem to work right on my Pixel 8) Turn off Settings > Sound & vibration > [four enabled options at bottom of screen] Slide to far left (to disable) Settings > Sound & vibration > Vibration & haptics > Touch feedback Turn on developer settings (repeatedly tap Settings > About phone > Build number until notified) Install ai-wallpaper [images sourced from Dreampix ], search, and double-tap to select desired option Open the App Store app on GrapheneOS and tap Google Play services , then Install (note: you'll need to tap Install multiple times for each component of Google Play services ) In the App Store app on GrapheneOS tap Android
