Interesting... I've only just started messing with Graphene by putting it on an old Pixel and it seems pretty impressive.

So you opt to use Aurora? Do you need to install Google Play services to use that one? Seems like the options are Aurora, or creating a second user and installing the sandboxed Play services on that for apps that need it.

I tried the latter, but it's basically impossible to sign up for a Google account without giving a phone number these days and I'm not sure I want to log in to my actual Google account since that kind of defeats the purpose...

Some people seem to have some concerns about Aurora as well

no. Nor do you need a boogle account.

I've never read any concerns about aurora. What are they?
