    Yes, and it comes with very few by default as well

    No restart needed, pull down twice and the switcher is on the bottom right. Usually takes just a couple seconds to switch.

      thats nice to hear. I thought you need to restart to change profiles.

      You’re on the 9a right? How is the battery under Graphene? I used to have the OG Pixel (codename sailfish) and try different roms on there, but the battery is just terrible.

        I’m still feeling that part out since it’s only been about a week, a full charge can last me multiple days (5100mAh) and the battery in my pixel 5 (4080mAh) was pretty run down.

        Fully charged 25.5hr ago & pretty heavy use yesterday and I’m at 63%, the 5 would have been twice dead by now.
