I am interested in installing a de-googled android on my phone, but I would like to try it out a little bit first. Is there some way to emulate a phone on my PC, or is there anything like dual booting on phones?

    Do it now rather than waiting even longer and amassing even more personal data on device

      Any data that’s on it is in a private cloud (infomaniak/filen) so that’s not the issue.

      Its reinstalling everything, setting it all up, personalising it, etc.

      I use this thing a lot and need it for work, so not being able to have a backup that I can use in case it takes longer than expected is a no-go for me.

        Just got a OEM unlocked P7P, installed GrapheneOS, I was up and running good as new in like a day. Only downside so far is no Tap payments.

        It’s easier than you think.

          My life is sadly busier than I’d like already so adding this on right now just isn’t in the list of options. Good to know tap payments don’t work with GrapheneOS means I’ll have to get a physical card again.
