Just installed GOS on my phone, really like it. I want to know how GOS users setup their profiles to learn from them. So far, i found out the followings:

  1. everything in Owner

  2. leave Owner blank. Put everything in another profile names User.

  3. leave Owner blank. Put all Google stuff in user Google. Put all FOSS app in FOSS user. Put all bank stuff under Sensitive user.

  4. use Owner as an app repo. So install Google Play, Acrescent, Fdroid. Install apps from there, but dont use them. Instead, when create new user, push those apps from Owner. This is similar to Side of Burritos on Youtube.

anything different?

I have 7 profiles

  1. owner - network setup and app management (mullvad vpn)
  2. Daily - no google services and 95% of my daily usage app (always on VPN to my home)
  3. GPS - navigation and other apps that need location services (mullvad vpn)
  4. PS-USA - playstore account and google services with USA identity (fake of course), (US residential VPN for sports streaming)
  5. PS-CH - playstore account switzerland and google play services, my banking stuff lives here (residential vpn CH)
  6. PS-DE - playstore account germany and google play services (mullvad vpn) - used for apps not available in US and CH when traveling through Germany
  7. NOVPN - this account only has vanadium and connectbot (ssh) for network diagnostics in case I have issues with a wifi or something. My only account without always on VPN

    hmm i really like the idea of navigation apps with location service in 1 profile. So you just dont listen/stream music while driving? Because thats another app right?

    Also thats a lot of vpns lol.

    I usually listen to radio while driving, I am kinda old school there.

    Also, I think having some commercial service like Spotify or TuneIn track my taste in music, radio stations or podcasts is an invasion of my privacy. I actually selfhost an internet radio service if you wanna call it that by running a DVB-C tuner on my homeserver that grabs my favorite channels from my cable provider and streams them to my phone on demand if I wanna listen to radio on the go.
