Hey.

My phone is a Pixel 8A Graphene OS Phone. I Want to make this phone a Hardended phone. A safe phone. Privacy friendly phone. Not a Watched or tapped into phone. Basically limit the spying and intercepting and get control of the spying mechanisms that may be at play.

The phone has Sandboxed google.play services.

(grapheneos) and 1 profile (owner)

The phone has a kyc sim card. ( currently no way out)

Thanks.

    Same config, I have been using my 8a with graphene since Jan. Works great.

    I actually put Google Play and the few apps that use that in the Private Space and just use clean apps in my owner profile. There are a lot of different ways to divide up apps between Owner Profile, Private Space, the 31 separate user profiles, and work profiles.

    As for app sources I use mostly Graphene, FDroid, Aurora, and Obtainium stores and tools. I only use Play Store directly in my Private Space. There are pros and cons of course.
