What does maintaining a separate profile for Google stuff buy you? I’m familiar with GrapheneOS, but haven’t internalized the separate profile thing yet.
Then when it’s locked down it shuts down play services and apps to complete non functionality.
Go into system and create a new user. Set up that user exactly like you would a standard smart phone. And any apps you have on your main profile completely open source. That way it’s 100℅ Google free
Got that part, but what throws me is, in order to install a Google app on that secondary “google” profile, don’t you have to first install the Google app on the main profile so that you can then push it to the secondary profile?
Oh, I see. I must’ve misread a tutorial at some point then. I did not realize one could install an app directly into profile #2, I thought root had all the apps and then specific apps had to be pushed to the other profiles. Thanks for clarifying that.
There is a guy in YouTube who does this. Side of Burritos? He has Google play on his main profile and then has a degoogled account for the second profile and transfers all the play store apps to the second profile. (Essentially making it his main).

It keeps Google 100℅ seperate or vice versa.

No… You just install the play store and play services on profile #2 via the Graphene app store.

I don’t do that for battery purposes.
