FWIW Obtanium prompts me to update itself. It updates other apps automatically but seems to require me to actually enact the self-update

For open source apps, this is a decent list and there are probably others like it: Awesome Android Apps

The grapheneOS Discord also has an apps channel where people discuss different apps for specific purposes and compatibility notes/issues.

    A lot of this sounds overkill considering OP didn't say they have an extreme threat model.

    Other things are also just not the recommended practice if you are prioritizing security over privacy. grapheneOS recommends using either acrescent or Google Play store for apps. Obtanium is ok, but they have actively spoken against fdroid and the way that applications are distributed through the fdroid store

    Why are all the comments on this article just people being assholes and saying this is a scam? I don't see a link in the news article to mastodon, any other social media, or any type of fundraising link.

    Yours looks way better, one small criticism that may be easy to adjust but could also just be the visual style you want: most surfaces look way too glossy and reflective.

    While it's nice to have detailed reflections, things like the wall tiles just seem nearly like mirrors when it comes to light reflections. There's no diffusion. Maybe the face masks could stay as glossy, but I would diffuse/dull the rest a bit. The ceramic tile but especially the padded room. Padded room tiles would be fabric so there really shouldn't be any gloss and very little reflection.

    I hope you don't take that the wrong way, and I think your game will stand out as far superior to the copy

    I'm not an expert or even close to that, so no, not really I suppose. Can you really trust any device when it comes down to the hardware level? I wouldn't trust an iPhone or any other phone more. Again, while I'm not an expert, I'd trust grapheneOS for software over any other mobile OS. Probably trust to that effect would be grapheneOS >>>> iOS >> everything else. But full trust in any hardware? Who really knows

    We are both right πŸ˜†

    It is true for Signal on Apple devices.

    It is not true for Signal on Android devices*

    *Well I'm using grapheneOS so I feel more comfortable in my case but a regular Android device with full access Google Play Services? That I'm not so sure about. It's conceivable that Google has a way to read the final notification (FCM push -> Signal fetches and displays message -> Google can read all notifications on the device, FCM or otherwise) 😬
