They had this on their homepage, advertizing QKSMS and Bromite as if they were project apps. Which they are not.
So either A: they preinstall apps as system apps or B: they have some form of installer that installs them as normal user apps.
You should have as many apps as user apps as possible.
Maybe they changes this idk. But QKSMS is not a simple SMS app like the one that GrapheneOS implements (the old and hardly maintained AOSP one) and Bromite is an unmaintained Browser which is a huge problem. Cromite and Quik are maintained forks.
Some Archive when they still had Bromite on their page
Could not find QKSMS but that was somewhere
Chromium BASED on chromite, which appears to be actively developed. I use mull which works well. Default SMS is “messaging” app.
Interesting. What are the App IDs of those both apps?
If they base on Chromite that is probably fine.
org.chromium.chrome
com.android.messaging
Idk if I would promote calyxos though, it works, but it’s often buggy for me. I think I’ll go with graphene again, the microg shit is just that…
And mull https://f-droid.org/packages/us.spotco.fennec_dos/ Which I think is maintained by divestos, another interesting one, I forget why I didn’t go with them
