I have my respect for GrapheneOS for addressing the Play Integrity API issue.

When your backend is google, you give google your backend.

How is it for receiving calls from idle?

I really want Linux Mobile to work but last time I looked the receiving calls from idle was unreliable and it's the most important part of a mobile phone.

This was on the OG Pinephone.

By idle I assume you mean while the phone is suspended? It works fine for me (verizon US, phosh) though there's an extremely rare bug where the phone will fail to resume from suspend and needs to be rebooted. Also I find I need to restart modemmanager after I boot or the modem doesn't come online, though that may just be a problem specific to me since I think I installed the open source firmware for the pinephone modem incorrectly since there's a bunch of other stuff that doesn't work properly (hangs on a lot of AT commands).

Interesting. Which distro are you using?

That's a great one liner!

This does not solve the Play Integrity API issue. This would make app compatibility even worse lol.
