I’m not familiar with GrapheneOS,
so I can’t say. Only used LineageOS,
since the CyanogenMod days.

AA4MG simply makes the normal AA work on MicroG devices, with a minimal amount of proprietary privacy invasive stuff.

No, I tried by changing the package name of another app to Google Maps, it did not work.

You can install 3th party GPS software though, but depending on the app, you might need AAXLU or KingInstaller to make the 3th party software show up in AA.

I’ve written it out in the AA4MG docs here

Yes

Not fully open source,
but less proprietary crap.

AA4MG (Android Auto 4 MicroG)

It allows to run Android Auto with:

• MicroG, open source alternative to Google Play Services)
• Empty stub APKs, for the other Google Android Auto dependencies (e.g. Google Maps, TTS Text To Speech, …)

That way the only proprietary thing you need,
is the actual Android Auto app,
not it’s hand full of sketchy propriety dependencies.

Full disclosure: I helped develop AA4MG + AAXLU :)

You should, privacy is a human right which is being stripped away from us.

You’re basically saying I don’t really care about my human rights.

Without privacy, you’re one step closer to an authoritan regime, where mass surveillance helps prevent an uprising of the people against it.
