Installed #GrapheneOS several days ago on my Pixel 8. It works great without any Google services! https://grapheneos.org/

    Yes, I’ve never had any trouble with apps being able to get GPS location without Google Play Services. Obviously, you won’t get that Google location timeline because you don’t have Google Play Services or Google anything on your device. But any GPS app will work just fine.

      Don’t wanna crash the party, but I tried the 3a and recently the 6a with Graphene, and while everything else worked really well, Location actually didn’t work at all. Everytime when I wanted to get my location, I needed to wait about 5-15 minutes for it to find it. This was actually one of the reasons to not use it as a daily driver.

        That’s weird. Everything that needs GPS location works great for me. I agree that it does take a bit longer to lock, but it’s only about 1 or 2 seconds longer.

        My OsmAnd~ works amazing.

          @jjlinux@lemmy.ml That’s my experience too, a bit of a lag — I can live with that.
