On my pixel, GrapheneOS has 2x the battery life of factory android.

Of course, most commercial apps won’t run due to Google’s monopolistic bullshit. You can partially fix it by installing (sandboxed) google play services, but that halves the battery life back to what stock android gets.

Every single app I have tried on GrapheneOS works great without GMS except Too Good To Go (their app mandates location access and the manual location selection is broken).

I download them using Aurora Store.
