 Update on my new phone (and Android ROM adventures):

I'm liking GrapheneOS' enhanced security features, but there are quality-of-life features I really miss from #CalyxOS:

* Flashlight gesture
* Quick settings pull-down gesture (pull down from corner go straight to quick settings)
* Accessibility magnifier gesture (instead of the obnoxious little floating button)
* MicroG (YES. As an option. I'd like a ROM that has all three: No GSF, Fake GSF (MicroG), Sandboxed GSF)

... 
 ...

* Dedicated wifi quick settings button -- For the of of God, what are you doing, GOOG?
* Very friendly community

Things I'd miss if I left #GrapheneOS:
* Hardened everything
* Sandboxed GSF (I can restore in-app purchases!)
* Storage Scopes (YAAAAS!!)
