    i wish there were as many testimonials of people daily driving the likes of postmarketos (eg graphene, eos, etc.) so help me decide on which one to use.

    i keep vacillating on which one to use based on the few testimonials i’m able to find because i realize that the person giving the testimonial has a much deeper experiences with privacy and security that i do that makes their experience incompatible with mine and it sometimes feels like i’m the only one using android auto on car that never was intended to work with it.

      Graphene OS for the past year or two. Zero problems and only benefits.

      You will need to get used to fiddling with security settings on some apps. For example, banking apps need reduced (meaning standard Android) levels of security. I consider this a feature so I can know which apps to find alternatives for

        i loathe the idea of giving google any more money; but it’s clear graphene has to most fans here. lol

          TBH I don’t remember if it was wired or wireless but my understanding is that GrapheneOS’s implementation is essentially the same as what is included on stock android for Pixels, so both wired and wireless work (https://grapheneos.org/usage#android-auto).

          I used it with a stock system so not aftermarket. Do you have any specific reason to believe aftermarket systems wouldn’t work? If they support android auto you should be fine.
