I’ve switched some default apps in Android 9, but they’re occasionally resetting back to the preinstalled system options. How do I prevent it and why does it even happen?

    Note that GrapheneOS (currently) only supports Pixels. I assume the comment assumed it was a Pixel due to the Google apps and the Pixel Launcher.

    Since you don’t have a Pixel, you can look at other degoogled Android ROMs like LineageOS (compatible with lots of devices), iodeOS (fork of Lineage with additional privacy bits and a parental control feature), and e/OS (Lineage fork with a custom iOS-like launcher, tied with Murena services).

    And I believe that installing ROMs do not require rooting devices for devices that allow you unlock the bootloader. Not sure about your specific device, it might require rooting to do that.
