GrapheneOS is the best! I can now confirm it works great on the tablet as well! I understand it’s ironic de-google phone/tablet with google hardware, but it just works better then anything else. Permission toggles, pin scrambling, auto-reboot, scopes, MAC randomization, isolated user profiles, longer passwords, sandboxed apps, open source firmware, no bloat & the battery life is incredible now.
It is easy to move to Linux & GrapheneOS full time & remove Apple, Google, Microsoft etc. It exceeded expectations so much so that I want to share it with other people. I cannot recommend this enough to improve your life. #FOSS
grapheneos (dot) org = more information!
are there seriously already people being paid to shill on lemmy?
every single one of your posts is about how great grapheneos is.

We need a Fediverse version of Rimjob Steve (i liked that subreddit).
Yes. Every time I shill GrapheneOS on Lemmy, Daniel Micay sends me $1. He also pays me $0.75 every time I insult his critics. You can get in on this too if you’d like, it’s a great way to make some extra cash.
LOUIS ROSSMAN IS A LIAR
$0.75 has been deposited in your account.

Truly informative and unfortunate.
It really is that good tho. This is word of mouth in action, zero issue with it.
Lemmy has undercover ads now?
Isn’t GrapheneOS the one that threatened Louis Rossman over an extremely mundane Youtube comment?
Not sure tbh, but p sure Micay was swatted multiple times by some peeps who arent into GrapheneOS.
I vaguely recall something like that in the Rossman video, but one shitty behavior doesn’t justify another.

It has its own browser, attestation, backup, and play store interface. A ton of the code is also pushed upstream.
You’re making this project sound like its some random fork of Android, which is a disservice.

The difference between custom windows builds and GrapheneOS is that one is buggy and broken and the other isn’t. Probably because Windows is proprietary and not designed to be modified, unlike Android.
Also yes, you can modify AOSP and call it a separate OS. Plenty of other projects have done so in the past.

Your comment said it was Android + half a dozen patches.
The AOSP camera has been forked with over 1100+ commits. Thats just one app. https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Camera/commits/main
As far as android phones, I only recommend the latest Pixel devices with GrapheneOS support. It might be a bit of a learning curve, but you’ll be better off in the end once you install GrapheneOS on it.
For now, I can’t recommend using anything else in the android ecosystem.
This. And lets be honest, the reason Graphene only supports pixel devices is because you can re-lock the boot loader enhancing the security of the device exponentially.
FYI: if you have verizon, you cannot buy the phone through them (they …do things… that make it difficult to impossible to root.)
Only issue is that pixels are not very good quality.
Hopefully next one is better.

It doesn’t support Android Auto, right? That’s what’s holding me back from installing it.
Correct. Not having Android auto sucks. I still use GOS though.
It really is that good tho. This is word of mouth in action, zero issue with it.
Damn this is the first time I’ve seen a high level of bitchery and toxic comments on lemmy. Thanks for busting my cherry y’all.
