Installed GOS and am loving it (sh.itjust.works)

Installed grapheneOS on my pixel (finally) the other day. Actually was loving stock, until it got corrupted due to a bug. Had to factory reset to boot up again. Anyway, used that opportunity to install GOS.

NGL I do miss adaptive features and now playing, but I am liking GOS more and more day by day. Better battery life despite not having adaptive features, more security options like sensor permission and scopes, auto reboot if not unlocked feature and all that.

I use GPay and my bank app on a secondary profile. works seamlessly. Some UI improvements and adaptive features and it will be on par with the stock pixel experience itself.

Figured I should let you know. GOS is an Operating System, which is different from ROM which is short for Read Only Memory. It's like calling windows on your PC a ROM instead of an OS. It makes no sense.

Thanks for the correction.
