Only if you have Google hardware…

Ubuntu touch seems like a more viable option at this point

As well as postmarketOS, but unfortunately neither of them are in a usable state for the average person. I’d definitely suggest donating to Mobile Linux projects if possible to get them polished up and viable, as Android is clearly going to make the life of Graphene and LineageOS more and more difficult over time.
postmarketOS // real Linux distribution for phones

Aiming for a 10 year life-cycle for smartphones

Does anyone use this outside the US? Curious how it works across different sims
Show threadProdigalFrogFeb 21
AFAIK it is as compatible as the stock android that comes on your phone regarding different carriers.

It works well for me. I did hear that there was bad support for baking apps but they seem to work fine.

I have had trouble with ride hailing apps as they seem to use googles integrity API.

*banking. My baking apps work fine.

My banking app also works fine, but others may be more strict. And no one can add a payment card for tap to pay until Google certifies grapheneos.

Now I’m kinda curious what baking apps there are, i use a multi-timer for different bread rising stages but that’s all I’ve got

Great idea in theory, but you need a Pixel phone to do this.
Show threadProdigalFrogFeb 21
It’s a good option for people who are currently in the market for a new phone, since they could then pick up a Pixel specifically for GrapheneOS.
Show threadBio bronkFeb 21
does pixel 10 support this or do I need 9?
Show threadProdigalFrogFeb 21
Pixel 10 is supported :)
Show threadProfThadBachFeb 21
Is it possible to put this on anything else?
Show threadProdigalFrogFeb 21
It’s only compatible with Pixel devices at the moment.

Is bricking your phone as much of a risk as it used to be or that we were told it was? That always held me back
Show threadProdigalFrogFeb 21

I’d never heard of it being brick-prone. I suppose it’s possible in the sense that updating a PC’s BIOS could brick it if it loses power during the update, but I’ve never heard of Graphene’s install process being particularly brick-prone.

I’ve personally flashed 4 pixels (friend’s and family’s as well as mine), a couple of them multiple times (I tried CalyxOS before Graphene with my first pixels), and it’s always been a super smooth process, never had anything go wrong.

Yay privacy. Just give Google a shit ton of money first. Can we please get a Linux phone. Made with modern hardware and useable in the us.
Show threadphthevenFeb 22
They’re working with a vendor to make a phone that meets GrapheneOS’s security standards.
