It’s possible, but a huge PITA. Learning how to do it, that is. Once you know all the magic incantations and have your potions and elixirs available, it’s easy enough.
Most of the “how to” guides don’t mention all the little crap you need to know so it takes a lot of trolling through forums to find why this next step isn’t working.
I have a galaxy phone but haven’t pursued the idea of installing grapheneOS on it as I thought it would be impossible. Please share you arcane knowledge of the unholy incarnations.
I’ve been daily driving bazzite for a few months, I would highly recommend you give it a distro hop for a bit to see if it fits you.
The main downside is getting used to the atomic mindset and changing how you install your tooling
I actually have it on a laptop, because I wanted something virtually bulletproof that my SO could have that just works. No worrying about broken configs or leftover cruft.
Just undecided if I want it on my main desktop. I’ve had a few minor but annoying issues with it, though nothing unworkable. Ricing is sometimes problematic, and that’s something I enjoy. I really like the build process, though, and how you can downstream your own version, and I like ostree backups (plus I can’t wait for bootc).
I’m able to use Organic Maps with RH Voice with the sandboxed Google Play + Android Auto Graphene uses for my travelling/cycling/Public-transit map needs.
Mint Mobile. I’m fine with 5GB/5G:$15/month ~$185/year. 🤘😁.
I download flac songs/albums for off line use with Tidal when not streaming on WiFi.
PipePipe for YouTube/etc stuffs. 720p or background playback to save bandwith/battery isn’t bad.
Me loving GrapheneOS intensifies.
Chromium and Webview ripped out and replaced with hardened Vanadium.
Man, I had gaming scheduled for this weekend. I guess I gotta move up my plan to backup everything and switch over to GrapheneOS.
Its a pretty easy switch and has some nice perks like disabling the software restictions on the USB C port so you can actually hook up displays
If you have a Pixel, yes.
If you have a Galaxy, you’re in for some s**t
I thought it wasnt even possible on a galaxy

How does GrapheneOS play with folding phones? Nicely?
Probably as well as any other stock Android ROM, because that’s all it is, plus a few security patches on top.

Do Linux next 🐸
I’m still waffling between CachyOS and Bazzite. 😆

ostreebackups (plus I can’t wait forbootc).gimme a decent rom guaranteed to work with my six-year-old unsupported hardware
Maybe /e/OS?
Sorry didn’t realize you were asking for ROM
Lineageos is your best bet.
Sir, I am regarded but I am sure we got somebody on fedi who can properly opine on this request
Last I recall, Vanadium lags behind customized-Firefox in privacy features, and even more behind the Tor Browser.
Having a tool like Noscript is absolutely necessary, with today’s browsers, if you want to fight fingerprinting.
The clowns just wsnt to run all these code on PC man… Why don’t you let them?
All I known is DivestOS is dead as is Mull 😮.
And there’s things Vanadium/web view offer that Android Firefox never can:
By default Vanadium’s JIT JavaScript is blocked. Can easily turn off regular JavaScript if ya want on site settings.
The Madaidans article lacks relevance, we are talking about fingerprinting.
That’s just not true, many of those are things that Android Firefox likely won’t do, but that doesn’t mean they can’t do it.
That said, I care more about privacy than theoretical attacks. Companies are tracking me, black hats might attack me.
What service provider are you using with Graphene? I want to de google but it seems a wasted effort when I have FI

But in process of moving to Tuta.
According to multiple users on the GrapheneOS forum it works just fine https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/7950-does-grapheneos-work-with-google-fi/2
Yeah I’m going with a Murena phone and /e/os installed, as they’re both European.
