Hello everyone!
A lot has happened since my last post, specifically talking about my LineageOS inquiries. I had a string of bad luck and broke the digitizer but no cracks to my Pixel 7 Pro.
So I ended up “upgrading” to the Pixel 8 Pro because the store I went to only had the 8 Pro and not the 7 Pro in stock and it was dire that I have a phone.
So this leads me to my next questions:
What is your favorite Android spin for your Pixel Device?
I have used GrapheneOS, LineageOS, and Stock Android (of various versions on my Pro 7)
This leads me down the rabbit hole of deciding which experience I want on my Pixel 8 Pro.
I have GrapheneOS on my 8 Pro right now because I wanted to see if I could make it fit my needs, and I am leaning towards it not working for me. Since I switched, android auto is not connecting even following the instructions GrapheneOS has to offer.
AdAway (nonroot) is not working on GrapheneOS, as it just kills any internet connection to everything on GrapheneOS. So that’s another point against me wanting to stick with GrapheneOS.
No AFwall+. Another point against it.
It appears that CalyxOS is going to give me a similar experience with issues related to the ones I mentioned with GrapheneOS.

I had considered trying out LineageOS for microG but unsure if this is the route I want to go because I am unsure if some of the apps I will rely on will work for various reasons. (Mainly unsure if MicroG will suffice for them.)
I am open to other options to, and would love to hear what you are using!
Thank you!
Never been an iOS user outside the days of the iPod touch, specifically gen 2 and 4. Though, I jailbroke them as soon as it was possible. Are you playing local music? I may have some suggestions for it.
Graphene is a nice degoogled option, when there aren’t issues. Unfortunately with my Pixel 8 Pro, I have had a lot of issues that just don’t seem solvable without dev changes.
