Graphene OS

It's alive! Graphene OS build 2024051600 booting on the Pixel 8a

I’m running Graphene OS, the “private and secure mobile operating system with Android app compatibility. Developed as a non-profit open source project”, on my new Google Pixel 8a), and it’s going great. Not only does this address many long term concerns about online privacy and security, but it allows me full control over how exposed I am to online marketing, and more nefarious things.

Does everything just work?

I’ve had some hickups, but figured out how to get all apps working so far except for Southwest Airlines app. I freezes on the splashscreen - how can I debug what’s going on or get an idea if it’s failing because it needs permissions or something?
