What do you use as Dialer/SMS/Contact app? I tried to switch myself from iPhone and almost everything was OK but these were the worst to get right... I ended up using suite from Tibor Kaputa (Simple Dialer etc) but I ran into some rather annoying issues. Also, do you use phone recoding? This was actually my breaking point, because i have an iPhone w/ jailbreak that enables me to record phone conversations (for my use only, not trying to get into the legal discussion). I did not find anything for GrapheneOS (or Android in general) - just some info that I need to root my phone to get this working and with that I just reverted to my jailbroken iPhone.

The only functional FOSS call recording app for Android that I'm aware of is the Call Recorder app on F-Droid: - Call Recorder: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.axet.callrecorder/ https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.axet.callrecorder... To use this app, you'll need to root your phone using Magisk[1] and the install the Magisk module for Axet's Call Recorder.[2] Then, upgrade the Call Recorder app to the latest version in F-Droid. Note: do not enable "System Mixer Incall Recording" in Call Recorder, since it is not needed and may cause issues with recording.

Signal can take over as the default SMS/MMS app, and there are alternatives with more features such as QKSMS: - QKSMS: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.moez.QKSMS/ https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.moez.QKSMS/

  LineageOS's default phone app supports call recording out of the box. I'm using LineageOS 18. I don't know if this is true for earlier versions.
