In this video, I walk you through how I install apps on my Google Pixel running GrapheneOS after 3 years of testing and refining my setup. I demonstrate how to use multiple app sources, including the GrapheneOS App Store, Accrescent, Obtainium, and the Google Play Store, while maintaining privacy and security.
If you're new to GrapheneOS, I recommend starting with a simpler setup, like installing the Play Store and getting comfortable, before transitioning to a more advanced configuration. For experienced users, I show how I separate apps across different user profiles to compartmentalize Play Store services and enhance privacy.
