It’s hard not to feel a tiny bit of schadenfreude, given this project has shilled extremely hard for Google from day one. I will wait to see if the threats of legal action actually amount to anything. GrapheneOS has a history of putting out very aggressive and threatening public statements and never actually backing them up with action. How much of that was down to the founder being a completely unhinged individual is yet to be seen.
Does anyone have experience with Fairphone? Im gonna buy new phone and need recommendation
It would be interesting to see if Graphene OS actually takes legal action. I hope if they do they get other projects involved including Lineage OS and maybe F-droid.
According to Graphene OS, the Compatibility Test Suite and Compatibility Definition Document requirements Google says are key to Play Integrity compliance are in practice routinely ignored, and the system easily bypassed.
Just wanted to say, I use a custom ROM with software on it to circumvent the Play integrity stuff.
Oh no, my device is insecure, there could be malware on it. But people use Windows PCs to access their banking website. I’m sure there can’t be any malware on PCs!
Basically Magisk with Zygisk and this module

I rooted my phone years ago and it was a chore. Once it finally worked, hardly any of my apps would run and nothing important worked because suddenly a rooted phone isn’t “safe”. It was such a pain in the ass to do updates and fight programs to run that I stopped. I didn’t want to spend hours fixing a device that I really didn’t want to think about.
I would love to install GrapheneOS and have it mostly just work. I hate having my phone locked down like it’s not mine, and it’s one of the reasons I won’t use it for anything important over my desktop.
You don’t need Graphene OS (I had a different post about this)
Any custom ROM without Google and with F-droid apps will be much better.
Well, right, it doesn’t have to be a specific OS. I haven’t done much research because I’m my current situation, it’s not a good option for me as (for instance) some of my required 2FA apps won’t validate on a rooted phone.
If that changes, I’d do more research, obviously.
