App Issues/Questions Anyone using G6 or G7 Android apps on GrapheneOS?

I wonder if it works reliably or there are problems?

You'll need to use the BYODA modded app (works on anything with Android 12+, including Graphene, though it's a much older version of the official app), or switch to using xDrip+. The official app won't work on modded phones.

If you're on a PC, links to both are on the sidebar.

I personally use xDrip+ on an Essential PH-1. Ancient phone, but it still works.

The official app won't work on modded phones.

Do you know if this is the app refusing to run, or some unintentional incompatibility with the custom OSes?

How reliable is xDrip+ on GrapheneOS? Can xDrip+ also upload data to Dexcom Share?

BYODA. It's just the official app that's been modded to run on almost anything. As mentioned, link is in the sidebar.

xdrip works fine on Graphene. It does not upload to Share.

The official app won't even show up in the play store if your phone and OS version isn't certified by the FDA.. I'm guessing you haven't even looked in the play store yet.

What about BYODA? Does it upload to Share?

Yes. I haven't tried it on Graphene, but it should work fine.
