Yeah, doesn't work on GrapheneOS either, bummer
Did you find any solution to this? Or issue to bump up?
There's also a native desktop mode for grapheneos now, you can activate it in dev options
Not what you want. And it only works on Pixel 8 and above
https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/grapheneos-desktop-mode/28826
Nothing in android remotely compares to a full gnu/linux desktop
Yeah but dont expect feature parity with samsung's dex. Dex's a mile away in small quality of life features. Android's baked in desktop is so barebones I cannot fathom it took google 9 years to get this out. Its embarrasing.
I sold my samsung and moved to grapheneos, but I really miss dex. And gallery.
What about the gallery do you miss?
Simple cropping, drawing and blurring are something I now know I used nearly daily basis earlier. Tried to find a gallery viewer that had simple pixelize and cropping, couldnt find one.
Installed aves libre for pictures, and now using signal's inbuilt pixelize function.
I didn't, but I didn't look too hard. I wasn't really expecting it to work
Yup, same thing with pixel8pro and grapheneos
I can't find a list of supported devices, which is disappointing
It should run on most modern android smartphones.
Not running on my Sony 1 VI with Android 16
You can open an issue on their github. They can help better.
Well it didn't on that guy's
GrapheneOS is not regular android. It disables JIT and hardens many settings. So, things like proot and others can be finicky to work. Everyone else should be fine unless its an old phone or some chinese phone with certain broken features or restrictions.
Not working on One UI either it seems? That said some people have mentioned it working so I'm not sure what's the cause here.
