The Ntfy Android app hasn’t been updated in almost a year, and in my experience it consumes more battery than Sunup.

They’re the newest releases of Google’s own AOSP apps. If you don’t like the apps and the fact that they aren’t maintained anymore, complain to Google. They are the ones who fail to provide up-to-date apps in AOSP, because they want to promote they proprietary, spyware-infested garbage. It’s not like you have to use them, you can easily disable all the pre-installed apps, and either replace them with the proprietary Google apps (and disable network access to maintain privacy), or get open source alternatives, for example from Fossify.

There’s no preinstalled apps store

There is a pre-installed app store, which lets you install Graphene’s own apps, Google Play Store and services, as well as the Accrescent app store. For everything else, you can grab an APK from the web. My recommendation is to use Obtainium, it easily lets you download, install and update APKs from various sources on the web. There’s also an extensive list with presets for apps to download via Obtainium: https://apps.obtainium.imranr.dev/

The security is remarkable but I feel they could give other areas more care.

They don’t want to include any unnecessary bloat, so they leave the OS very minimalistic on purpose. You can install whatever you like, and you don’t have to deal with removing bloat you don’t need.

No contactless payment is really tough too

Some banks offer their own NFC payment system that doesn’t require Google Pay and just uses the bank’s app. Again, complain to your bank if they only offer mobile payments via Google Pay.

I recommend getting a 6a or 7a instead, maybe even the 8a if you’re ready to pay the higher price. But at least get the 6a, it’s cheaper than the normal Pixel 6, and gets updates for 10 more months than the Pixel 6. The Pixel 6 has less than 2 years of life time left, I don’t think it’s a good option nowadays. You can always check on this site: https://pixel-pricing.netlify.app/ (it’s in German, but you can either use the website translation in Firefox or on Google Translate)

I hope the companion app will be open source, or the watch will be compatible with Gadgetbridge

Common GrapheneOS W:

Here’s the COPR repo: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/secureblue/trivalent/

Use Ungoogled Chromium instead

Secureblue’s Trivalent browser looks promising. Currently the only way to install it outside of secureblue is COPR on Fedora, but I’m sure there will soon be packages in the AUR, Gentoo, Nix, etc.

Other good options are Cromite, Thorium and Ungoogled Chromium

Oh that sucks. I haven’t used it personally in quite a while, since I switched to the Grafana stack

No, it’s not a special “FOSS” version, it’s just the official binary distributed through the Guardian Project repo (as I have proven: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/16230276). If you want a FOSS variant, check out Signal-FOSS or Molly, they also offer a FOSS variant. You can either download it from their custom F-Droid repo, pull the APK from GitHub using Obtainium or get it from Accrescent.

You can also get it from Accrescent

Just make sure to set up UnifiedPush if you want to receive notifications while your Molly database is locked. I recommend the new Sunup UP distributor. I wanted to make a post about it in !unifiedpush@lemmy.dbzer0.com, but never got around to do it.

For Mollysocket, there are a few public instances. molly.adminforge.de is one of them. You can also set up your own on Fly.io, check out this repo: https://github.com/pcrockett/mollysocket-fly
Or you can obviously self-host it on any VPS or hardware that you own

Or via Accrescent

Thanks, I mean I used to work as a Java developer before, and I’m quite interested in the Android platform, so I’m familiar with the SDK and build tools, and know how app signatures work

But it’s really not that hard to figure out. There are countless guides on the internet, and as I said, Signal even has a quick guide for how to verify the APK signature on the download page

Netdata is exactly what you’re looking for. It’s basically an all in one monitoring and and alerting suite that collects and analyzes data, and provides a gorgeous web dashboard for you to view.

You can also manually replicate this using Prometheus, Grafana and other tools, but that requires a much bigger effort to set up.

Edit: There’s a public demo instance where you can try everything out: https://frankfurt.netdata.rocks/

I remember having used Blink a few years ago. If you want a full Linux environment on the iPad, you can also check out iSH. It obviously also allows you to use SSH.
