"GrapheneOS chose their requirements and they can happily design their own platform instead."

There's no need to reinvent the wheel. AOSP is a secure, open-source platform that has been around for almost 20 years. I don't want to debate rumors that Google wants to make AOSP proprietary because there is no evidence to support this, especially since it would not benefit them in any way.

"I just think that their stubbornness"

It's not stubborness and I explained why.

"They are the antithesis to #Tails when it comes to #UserFriendly-ness and approachability for #Normies and #TechIlliterates

It's probably the first time I've seen “Tails” and “Normie” in the same sentence, It's not that Tails is difficult to use, but I'm really not sure that many “normies” use it or even know it exists. The user experience on GrapheneOS is almost identical to Pixel OS, the standard operating system for Google Pixel devices, so using GrapheneOS is likely to seem much simpler and familiar to normies, as they will already be used to it.

"Espechally since the problems woth #MobilePhones and the underlying technology ain't fixable with an #AndroidROM

GrapheneOS is not a ROM, Pixel OS is not a ROM, and LineageOS is not a ROM either, theses operating systems are not ROMs.

"Instead we need to foster a #SecurityCulture and proper #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec & #comsec

Indeed, and what GrapheneOS does about security is completely appropriate, including informing people and giving them good advice.

"Otherwise we'll see them fail the same way @signalapp did, which is eitger getting shut down (#EncroChat-style) or being uncovered as a controlled opposition / honeypot (like #ANØM aka. #OperationIronside aka. #OperationTrøjanShield)…"

Signal did not fail, and mentioning Encrochat, ANON, and honeypots in the same sentence is irrelevant. These things have absolutely nothing in common with Signal, you seem to be believing made-up stories.

I’m Leaving Custom ROMs - Here’s Why.

Since GrapheneOS has problems to get the sources of Android 16, I call on all Android OEMs to help the project. The developers behind GrapheneOS are doing a great job and it would be a shame if they could no longer do this in the future.

We need an Android OEM or someone working at one to provide us with early access to the Android 16 sources in order to have a smooth port this year. We need this before June. We requested it to help with this very difficult situation (see the linked thread) and still need it. https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/114359660453627718

Is it true you need Device level Play Integrity on custom ROM devices to get your watch history to show up?

Asking fedi to help me out with this situation

I have an Lenovo Android tablet (Android 8.0 from OEM!) - Lenovo Tab4 8 Plus (TB-8704x). which is stuck on boot loop. I have tried searching XDA forums, reddit and 20th pages of google results but nothing works.

Device and go into `fastboot` mode and TWRP works great, and that's it. I have tried installing new ROMs available from XDA posts but they don't boot either.

I got LineageOS with Magisk on my old Samsung tablet! Really happy with how much better it performs now!
...now what? What do I do with this newfound freedom lmao

Una #noticia triste. #DivestOS ha llegado a su fin, probablemente por no recibir suficientes donaciones ni colaboradores (lo llevaba una sola persona).
De todos estos proyectos, su desarrollador era la persona que me parecía más razonable y transparente de todas. Una verdadera lástima.

So once again I return to the problems of #phones ( #smartphones ). I want to use something where I am not the product and I can make sure of it by inspecting the code and network traffic.

<cut out text mentioning #sailfishos , #postmarketos and third-party #AndroidROM s >

If you use a non-proprietary OS on your portable device, how is it? Can you always trust it to make and receive calls and texts?

Running @moshidon from my modified /e/OS installation, it looks awesome!

Gotta love Material UI

I need your help finding an article or post about this OS for Android that was all about privacy that, once ADB was enabled and plugged to a PC, it will wipe the entire phone including eSIM config and whatnot.

The developer of the OS replied to this issue with something that felt like “lol not my problem, your fault.”

I saw this post on Mastodon and I completely lost the article. Anyone knows about what Android OS was it? I’d really really appreciate your help in this.
