Hello,
I have read many of the thread detailing the intricacies of the app Advanced Privacy on /e/ OS. So I understand some of the more nuanced ideas around the app, but I may be missing how it interacts with the android system as a whole. I am currently running two phones, one with /e/ OS and the other with GrapheneOS. I enjoy how /e/ OS has pulled and forked various apps and made them integrate into the OS in a seamless way, but GrapheneOS allows me to use my newer hardware which I like.
I was wondering if there was an app with similar functionality to that of Advanced Privacy that I can use on GrapheneOS? I pulled the latest build artifact .apk from the Advanced Privacy repo and it did not work on GrapheneOS. I am assuming this is due to the .apk being built for android 11.
I have Orbot on the phone right now but some apps are still able to easily deduce my location and IP. I mainly want those two pieces of functionality that I get from /e/ OS. With Advanced Privacy, the apps that can see me through Orbot on GrapheneOS think that I am somewhere in the middle east on /e/ OS.
As a recap, I am mainly looking for a way of getting my location and IP ‘spoofed’ on GrapheneOS. This will allow me to continue the ‘battle of the OS’s’ that I am currently waging.
Thanks for your help in advance!
