Installed #GrapheneOS several days ago on my Pixel 8. It works great without any Google services! https://grapheneos.org/

    Don’t wanna crash the party, but I tried the 3a and recently the 6a with Graphene, and while everything else worked really well, Location actually didn’t work at all. Everytime when I wanted to get my location, I needed to wait about 5-15 minutes for it to find it. This was actually one of the reasons to not use it as a daily driver.

      That’s weird. Everything that needs GPS location works great for me. I agree that it does take a bit longer to lock, but it’s only about 1 or 2 seconds longer.

      My OsmAnd~ works amazing.

        1-2 seconds would be absolutely fine with me, even like 10 seconds would be tolerable… Idk, that sounds really interesting, a lot of people have been saying that it appears to be a problem on my side. Maybe I’ll give it a try again in some future, but now, unfurtuntately, I’m kind of locked into the Apple ecosystem again… But thanks for that insight!

          I wish I could be more help, but its always worked for me since I started using GrapheneOS about 4 years ago.

          The one thing I can think of is a misconfiguration on SUPL and PSDS.

          If you still have access to a GrapheneOS device maybe you could take a look there.

      Either graphene has gotten a lot worse or something because I used to have a Pixel 3A with graphene and things worked very well. Although I have been using lineage OS on other devices a lot recently.
