My tech brothers, how easy is it to install graphene on my pixel 7? Will my banking app (Barclays, UK) still work? Tia

    Its so easy with their web installer, takes like 5 minutes. If you go to their website they have a list of bank apps that work. Mine does and no issues. Ive been using Graphene for a couple years and can never go back.

    The only thing I'd like to note is, their guide says to use a high quality USB cable. Most times I've seen that, it's been completely irrelevant. With the Graphene installation, the only hard part of the process was finding the USB cable that came with my phone. Once I did, all other obstacles disappeared.

    edit: Correct a word.

    Barclays: This app only runs in the owner profile and secure app spawning may have to be disabled

    The installation is super easy - barely an inconvinience. However you need to set up everything on your phone manually - no easy transfer from stock Android afaik.

    It should. My banking apps worked fine. None of them work on a rooted phone but worked absolutely fine on Graphene.

    I thought you had to root the phone to install graphene?
