I know that you can replace the default graphene os apps with foss alternatives so its probably not thay big of a priority but will the default graphene os apps get material 3 expressive for consistency?
If you own a garage opener that uses myQ you may have noticed that there's issues logging in only on graphene os. Like many other apps this may be due to them wanting to purposefully block GrapheneOS or it may be something to do with play integrity api shenanigans. But anyway there actually is a solution that fully works as of June 27th 2026 from this old thread from the Graphene OS fourms: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/1627-chamberlain-myq-on-pixel-6a/41
Here are the steps:
Uninstall your current version
Install this old internal build of myQ https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/the-chamberlain-group-inc/myq-garage-access-control/myq-garage-access-control-5-243-1-73243-release/myq-garage-access-control-5-243-1-73243-android-apk-download/
Login to the app (may take a couple of attempts and will not load the main screen but as long as you see the back to login arrow in the top left you did it right)
Update to the latest version of myQ from the Google Play store (without uninstalling just click update)
Success! (Hopefully? It worked for me and I can open and close my garage without any issue, let me know if this also worked for you) <3
Not fully sure if this is allowed here but,
As I'm awaiting delivery for my Google Pixel 8 Pro to install Graphene OS on. In anticipation I've come up with a list on apps, and settings that I believe will maximize my Graphene OS experience.
Though as a large community I thought they'd be no one better to ask then you guys about these discussion questions:
Here's my list of apps and tweaks I will make:
1) Unlock Bootloader
- Speedrun phone setup
- Enable OEM unlocking
2) Install Graphene OS
- Follow Guide Online
3) Install Sandboxxed Google Play Services
4) Install Aurora Store
4.1) Install Obtainium
5) Install Droidify
>Install these apps trying to install apps using these appstores in this prefered order
(Droidify, Obtainium, Aurora Store, Play Store (only installing playstore as a last resort)):
7) Enable Google Camera app with no network permissions (is there a better alternative & does this fully limit tracking??)
8) Google Sounds app no network permissions - the ringtones and notification tones app (is there a better alternative & does this fully limit tracking??)
>Setup Settings
9) Enable auto reboot
10) Scramble Pin Layout
11) Enable USB-C Port restrictions
12) Turn off allow 2G Radio
13) Check manu app permissions (disable them such as sensors)
14) Enable Hardware Memory Tagging (MTE) for all apps (Settings > Security)
15) Look through all phone settings
>Add media manually from previous phone
16) Add old photos and other media from previous phone backup
Long story short: I found a really good deal with my carrier that is selling the google pixel 8 and 8 pro for pretty cheap with a ~$100 difference between them two should I go with the pixel 8 or pixel 8 pro? For all I could find the screen is more efficient, and the camera's specs are better. Is the 8 pro camera actually way better and is the screen more efficient or does the adaptive refresh rate just compensate for the bigger screen?
Using lockstar's new unlock animation feature introduced in one ui 8.5 I've discovered that eliminating the animations (by settinf the speed slider to zero and the curve to custom) you can remove the slight delay between successfully unlocking your phone and getting to the app/home screen. It's a very minor adjustment but speeds up unlock times by alot on my old s23 while unlocking with fingerprint!
I recently downgraded my iPhone se to iOS 9.3.3 using turdus merula Tethered. I also had to bring over activation files from iOS 10 to bypass activation. Though one issue is my data plan doesn't work. It shows up in the statis bar but when i try to make calls, send sms texts, or use data it doesnt work. Does anyone know anyway to fix this?
Also I have a broken end of a headphone plug stuck in the headphone jack, whats the best way to remove it? (Its really stuck)
Is it possible to downgrade and activate an iPhone se to iOS 9?
ps i know you can already downgrade it to iOS 10
