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.

    My setup on GOS

    • main profile

      • no play services
      • this what I use most of the time
      • Apps installed via F-droid or Obtanium

    • secondary profile

      • using play services and store to install apps (I prefer bank apps to be installed from a trusted source, which Aurora store isn’t IMO)
      • disabled background running on this profile

    Additionaly avoid apps as much as possible, use web version when available.

    If I need or must have an app I switch to secondary profile, do the business there and end the session.
