GrapheneOS is unmatched when it comes to security features including hardening. Don’t get me wrong calyx is great and when you like to use microG then it’s there. With graphene you can also install google play and framework (if you wish so) but in a different approach. It’s like a normal app. So you can do it with network access given or not even etc… it’s worth to test out also the profiles and separate your life into profiles… you can have on one google service on one not etc… and all getting push notifications. Most banking apps work (to be honest very had any issues.)
With calyx like I say it’s a privacy but not security hardened approach. And calyx been back in security updates what been pushed from google sometimes for months. For me it’s a clear choice but it’s your call…
I still dont understand how the graphene sandboxing is better than microG that is a randomized ID more or less, why I should install feds apps on my phone? even if they're sandoboxed
If you're not running play services youll have to set up push notifications with something like ntfy or use background sync which uses more batteries.
Ntfy for apps that support it
