Why YSK GrapheneOS is a step above the rest. 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.

I hope people understand how easy it is 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

    I’m sitting on a Chinese phone hoping the pixel 8 switches to a unltrasonic sensor. It’s really too bad my work doesn’t let me use custom ROMs. Makes me want to get a work phone

      If the pixel 8 switches to ultrasonic instead of optical, then I’m all over it. The pixel fold has it built into the power button… The phone I’m using does the same and it has a 10/10 success rate. So I’m hoping they to with that.

      Is it possible to spoof device signatures or relock the bootloader to get around those work restrictions? MagiskHide might also be able to help depending on the case
