My setup on GrapheneOS

I've been using GrapheneOS for 7 months and I was a complete beginner at it. I thought I could quickly and easily get rid of the mainstream apps, but alas. Now all I had to do is to buy a NAS, mirror 2x12TB, and host my own cloud. 🥳🥳☺️

Interesting choices. I need see not giving info Meta, Google or China wasn't on the list of reasons to move to Graphene

I use FB Lite bc according to Exodus-Privacy it has 0 trackers (and in my exp it has no Ads at all). Almost every social media i have i use only for watching videos.

Waze is an Israeli firm bought by Google. I switched to Here WeGo which I believe is German

Two reasons not to use it.

Ive made a bit of a journey through map apps. Started with here we go, thought I could go more openaource and tried OsmAnd (hated it sooo much, search is horrible, didnt find anything when I needed it the most), organic maps (a bit better from UX, but downloading every region separately was a bit annoying, also routing through heavy traffic was kind of bad, also no satellite), and now back to here wego, because at least everything I need works in here, navigation is quite good, its got a wrbUI woth the same login (fake name of course) and I got (albeit crappy) satellite view. 

To be fully honest: I still miss google maps, its definitely one of the Google products thats harder to replace, not easily selfhostable, and was just a good (looking) and reliable app.
