#### App stores

- <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Prioritize </span>[Obtainium](https://obtainium.imranr.dev/)<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">. Many app configurations for Obtainium can be obtained </span>[here](https://apps.obtainium.imranr.dev), and for apps that aren't in here, it is most of the time as easy as copying the Github/Gitlab/Codeberg link to the app's repository and adding it in Obtainium.
- Use the Graphene native store to install the Play Store might you need it, and also to keep Graphene apps up to date.
- Accrescent has some cool stuff like AppVerifier, Molly, IronFox, etc. You can get it from the Graphene app store.
- [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/)<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> is also an option but I don't use it (until Schildichat forced it onto me). It has some </span>[flaws](https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/)<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">, which aren't </span>**that**<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> bad, but they exist.</span>
- <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">As a last resort, there is the Play Store. Note that in Graphene land, the Play Store app has as much access to the system as any other app, which is not a lot. Read more here: </span>[Sandboxed Google Play](https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play)

#### Auditor

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Graphene has a way to remotely verify the integrity of the system. You need to create an account on </span>[attestation.app](https://attestation.app)<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">, then on your phone, open the Auditor app, click on the hamburger menu in the top-right, select "Enable remote verification" and follow the instructions. This will enable automatic verification of the system every 4 hours, and will send an email if the phone can't be verified for 32 consecutive hours. </span>
