Yes. If you install Graphene and no play services your phone is de-googled unless you use Google services through a web browser or install another app that contacts them. Google does not have magical hardware level telemetry.
I’ve been running both (Calyx and Graphene) since the Pixel 4 XL, then Pixel 6 Pro and now on my 7 Pro. I go back to Calyx only when I read there’s a disruptive change, and I always end coming back to Graphene.
From my experience, GrapheneOS is the one Android OS that comes the closest to complete control of your device.

Call me a paranoid haha.
Ok so which open source os do you recommend? I was told CalyxOS is good how does Graphene compare?
