Using it right now. Setup was straightforward, and I’m using Warp Speed and Dark Star.

The price of the Onn 4k box has gone up from $20 to $25, but if that’s not a deterrent, I’d recommend it.

Never had an issue with getting unlocked Pixel phones from them.

I’ve been using US Mobile for the past year, and I seem to get good coverage on their Warp Speed network, which uses Verizon’s cell towers.

As for the calling app, F- Droid and IzzyOnDroid seem to have comparable alternatives.

Pixel 7a and 8a with unlocked carriers seems to still be affordable from resellers in Good or Mint condition. I’d suggest buying one and loading GrapheneOS onto it.

It is? I had no idea tbqh.

Funny thing, I have the exact set up you’re looking to build. I’ve got a Samsung Galaxy S5E Wi-Fi Tablet with LineageOS installed, and it works like a charm!

I’ve had the tablet for a couple of years, and it is starting to show its age a bit with the hardware. And I think there’s a lack of codecs in the more recent OS updates that have prevented me from playing higher than 2K quality for videos on YouTube or Stremio, but it gets the job done!

Hard agree that bookmark import/export would make transitioning to IronFox much more incentivizing, but aside from that, I love how hardened it is.

Went back and forth between the following:

Vanadium - secure Chromium browser installed by default on GrapheneOS, Bromite/Cromite - alternative secure/private Chromium browser, Quetta Browser - private Chromium browser that comes with an AI-based ad blocker and extension support, IronFox - private Gecko browser that is as hardened as LibreWolf or Mull Browser.

Right now, I’m daily driving Cromite and IronFox, the former now having extension support via Developer Options, which allowed me to enable and install extensions like uBlock Origin Lite and “I Still Don’t Care About Cookies”.

And nothing worth protecting, apparently.
