Welcome to the community, it's definitely not dead! Just Pixel-related news getting scarce recently and I guess not many people have issues with their phones, at least for now ๐
I also have a Pixel 7a! How does GrapheneOS feel vs stock Android on that phone and were there any gotchas when you installed it? Did you get any noticeable improvement in battery life? Only thing preventing me from installing it right now is the lack of support for Google Wallet NFC payments.
Well, I might have to start digging more things up for pixel community! ๐
Honestly, when I got the 7a about a week ago I was very surprised...like I have loved the 7 Pro since like Nov. But the 7a feels so much better, it's thicker and I prefer the feel. If only it had the 7 Pro camera.
It was super easy setup, no gotchas moments thankfully! Love the quality of Pixel and interested in GraphineOS for awhile but didn't want to flash my primary. I've gotten everything setup, even the Aurora Store thru F-Droid allowed me to install apps from the Play Store. But notifications can be an issue if you don't install Google Services, I like the added control and because of that the battery life is much better...but can't use as primary only because the stock Pixel with the call/text filtering is my most beloved feature. And I wouldn't expect banking apps to work at all...you can but it's not easy. The NFC payments is great, I just leave my license and 1 card in the glovebox no more wallet! ๐
