    Urrg! I have one of those CPUs. (Exynos 9820) I don’t want to upgrade with an expensive new phone. I get no longer security updates.

        I’d try it, but this is essentially an emergency signalling device and not something I’d like to render inoperable.

          Certainly understandable. Wouldnt risk it on my current main device either. Only on a future new or old backup phone

          Custom roms dont require rooting. It is a bad security practice and not necessary.

          GrapheneOS uses sandboxed google play store and most banking apps work fine with exception like CashApp and other bankspy type shops.

            Is there a confirmed list of apps that will not function in Graphene? I searched around, and all I get is “some bank apps dont work” but your the first I see mention cashapp specifically. I could probably work around Cashapp, but I’d at least need zelle/venmo etc. Due to my credit union app more than likely not being compatible.

            I really want to move to the platform, but I don’t currently have a Pixel, so I can’t just try it out. Before going out, buying a Pixel, loading Graphene and finding out I can’t use my banking app or the very least the other money apps I’d just like a heads up.

            In the end if I need a backup phone then so be it.
