Molly-Foss crashes on start on GrapheneOS

[yarrmatey@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Ask for help on the Grapheneos matrix channel. I do not have this problem on mine but they are more knowledgeable about this kind of stuff.

Also unless you use google services, you won't get notifications if you do this (use the at rest encryption with passphrase).

Is your pixel up to date?
Could you please provide the fdroid repo you have added to your fdroid client?

[bad_news@lemmy.billiam.net]

Have you had a good experience? I've considered this exact setup, but obviously this post gives me pause...

Molly foss is no longer being worked on iirc. Download molly

[perfectly_boiled_pizza@lemmy.world]

You're thinking of Molly-UP. The regular Molly and Molly-FOSS now both support UnifiedPush so there's no need for Molly-UP.

[shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip]

Oh yeah, that's right. Thanks.

[iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee]

Yup, pixel 7 is up to date, usually downloads latest release update within the same day. I downloaded Molly from the Molly F-droid repo...is there any other repo? F-droid's own repo doesn' thave it, so I added Molly's one.

[iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee]

You can still get the notifications through UnifiedPush right?

[piracysails@lemm.ee]

I gave their github issues a look and I did not find anything similar to this...

The repo is the correct one.
I have no useful advice unfortunately.
Either reinstall, use signal or wait for someone who can be more useful.

[yarrmatey@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Yes, I believe so.

It works on my phone, I've been using it for years

[yarrmatey@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Things don't crash on me. But bank apps may not work, they usually use play protect and apps with that may not work. Also you will not have root access, it has to do with security but certain apps like titanium backup need root to work. I've heard seed vault (built-in backup) isn't that great but I haven't used it. I like GrapheneOS, the only annoying thing for me is the lack of notifications for certain apps. That's pretty much how it goes when you don't use google on your phone. My workaround is using a separate work profile that has sandboxed google play for apps that I need notifications for.

[bad_news@lemmy.billiam.net]

I avoid installing anything that isn't in F-Droid or Accrescent for spying concerns with a couple exceptions I Obtainium, so no banking apps. And yeah, notifications would be nice, but ideally FOSS privacy respecting apps will get better about actively seeking updates like a 90's email client. Afaik, all push notification schemes that exist allow Google or whoever is the provider to read all notifications that go through that in the clear, which seems baaaaad. I do think there is a way to load in a layer to support the Google push notifications on Graphene if you want to YOLO, though.

[yarrmatey@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Yep, google will be able to read your notifications. Which is why I only let things I don't care about google seeing use the sandboxed google play. Things like games, etc. I use Proton but no notifications for email (and yes I know about the CEO and Trump). That's more invasive so I just manually check my Proton inbox. You get used to workarounds. I also use a bogus gmail account not tied to me, fake name, dob, phone number, etc. I used juicySMS for it.

[jjlinux@lemmy.ml]

Same here. It works flawlessly. I installed from Github via Obtainium.

[subatomic5745@lemmy.world]

Works flawlessly for me, install it from accrescent. Update graphene.
