#GrapheneOS for #Pixel10 is finally here! The installation process was straightforward, but the most impressive aspect is how it restores (almost) all applications, along with their data. This is done from a backup, so you can do it even if your previous phone is lost. All you need is WebDAV storage. If only all Androids had this!
well. New Androids work exactly this way. You just login into your account and it can install all aps you had in older device. Samsung has it, if not other vendors.
if the applications store settings in Google drive, them it restores it as well. Depends on application. If no online backups are made then you won't have data to restore. I think android has it good in recent versions. Much easier to switch to the new phone, compared to 4 years back
@monk @pemensik yeah, I think saving app data to Google Drive isn't really acceptable for someone who uses GrapheneOS because then why to use GrapheneOS in the first place? So I'm glad GOS provides a solution to that.
The migration story on Android may be better than 5-10 years ago, but it is still light years behind iOS, or even desktop Linux where the process is much less manual than on Android. And it's deliberate. Google could have come up with something similar, but they chose not to because their interest is to sell cloud services.
Are you using GrapheneOS for a long time already? Do you know if there are any useful-in-the-real-world local voice assistants? I mostly want it for setting timers and simple stuff.
