Hej,

Are there users of Graphene that are able to run MitID and banking? On the road to owning my data, and this is one the most complicated steps.

I’m curious for your experiences! As it’s still quite an investment to switch to Android/Graphene

    Hej hej,

    I’m in the same boat currently doing the same transition so perhaps someone with more experience should answer… But if you can stand an answer from one of those forbandede svenskere, here goes nothing.

    I’m guessing MittID is similar to Swedish BankID used for all kinds of authentication, like for banks and taxes n stuff.

    Currently BankID does not have a GitHub or similar release page so obtainium is out. I want to minimize the use of Google play as much as possible which leads me to install this via the Aurora store. So thats what I would try if I where you.

    If I want to install an app I try these methods In order:

    1. Graphene is native app store (basically nothing here)
    2. Accrescent (up and coming but not much here either)
    3. Obtanium (find the GitHub page and add it in this app. Risky if the developers GitHub account is compromised… Less oversight than the stores but who knows how thoroughly they look through the apps)
    4. Aurora store. (Mirror of Google without needing a Google account. Gets a bit of flack from security people but what are you supposed to do when this is the only non-google way the app is made available?)
    5. Aurora store in a private space… puke with Google services installed. (The apps that ended up here are those dependent on Google Maps integration, Bolt Uber and the likes. Would be keen to here if there is another way to do these apps without Google maps)

    Good luck on your journey!

      Thank you,

      And of course all are welcome!

      Would having playstore for those couple of apps work?

      What device are you getting ?

        Yes, you can always install all apps from play store but if you want to minimize data sent to Google this should be the last resort.

        As said I would try and install the Aurora store and then install the app from there.

        And if that does not work setup a private space with Google services and play store.

        I’m running the pixel 10 but pixel version shouldn’t matter in most cases as far as I understand.
