My pixel 7 is shitting the bed and I am considering upgrading and just installing graphene immediately on the new phone as part of my degoogling journey.

Is there anything I need to know about this? I work in IT, so I’m tech savvy. This is my first time installing graphene, however.

I’d be upgrading to a pixel 10 probably.

    If you can use a web browser and connect your Pixel to your laptop/pc with a usb cable, you know enough.

    Flashing GrapheneOS is the easiest I’ve even flashed a custom ROM. Just follow the instructions and you’ll be fine.

      I want to give some additional I formation:

      • installation doesn’t work on Firefox, must use Chromium
      • if on Linux, it may be needed to change permissions to the USB device before it works

      I bought a cheap Pixel tablet and flashed Graphene to it a couple days ago. It was easier than modding my 3ds and everyone memes about how easy that is. It’s a bit mind-blowing (and maybe a bit concerning) that a web browser is capable of doing that though.
