I'm thinking about flashing my phone to GrapheneOS to get rid of all the Google shit. Anybody have experience with it? Do you like it? Is there a better privacy-focused solution for Android phones? I've got a Pixel, and the process looks pretty straightforward but I'm curious to hear if any comrades here have tried it.

I have grapheneOS on my pixel 9 and i am pretty satisfied. Everything works for me and you can get all the apps from the playstore if you can't do without some app. The verification for WhatsApp did not work on mine but it seems to be a personal issue.
