Its so easy with their web installer, takes like 5 minutes. If you go to their website they have a list of bank apps that work. Mine does and no issues. Ive been using Graphene for a couple years and can never go back.
The only thing I’d like to note is, their guide says to use a high quality USB cable. Most times I’ve seen that, it’s been completely irrelevant. With the Graphene installation, the only hard part of the process was finding the USB cable that came with my phone. Once I did, all other obstacles disappeared.
The installation is super easy - barely an inconvinience. However you need to set up everything on your phone manually - no easy transfer from stock Android afaik.
Nope, just unlock the bootloader through developer settings connect phone to USB, install through official website and lock the bootloader back. Currently only pixel phones are supported
I saw Curve being promoted as a replacement. Problem is as they act as a middle man you lose the credit protections normally afforded by your credit card which made me pause again.
My tech brothers, how easy is it to install graphene on my pixel 7? Will my banking app (Barclays, UK) still work? Tia

edit: Correct a word.
I have always used a regular usb cable, just make sure its in good condition with no shorts in it.
Barclays: This app only runs in the owner profile and secure app spawning may have to be disabled

sign up to a 3rd party password manager on your original device so you will have them available there too
I am very happy with Dashlane for two years now. Glad to pay for the service.
It should. My banking apps worked fine. None of them work on a rooted phone but worked absolutely fine on Graphene.
I thought you had to root the phone to install graphene?
IIRC, no. You unlock the bootloader to install, re-lock, and enjoy your phone.
You have to unlock the bootloader, Grapheneos doesn’t support root on the official builds.

Super easy to install. I don’t use any banking app on my phone so can’t comment on that.
I did that for my old pixel 7 so my daughter had something to play on. Works great.
Not sure for that specific app, but I used 4 banking apps without problems. Google wallet does not work so I had to switch to Curve for NFC payments.

If you have location and mobile data on they’re generally less likely to fuss if you do ever have an issue.
super easy and i never had a app not work instantly including bank stuff
