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
You need to make sure a stock ROM is available - I would download it before making the switch and keep it around just in case. In my experience these ROMs often end up being a game of chasing dead links around in old forum posts, so it’s good to make sure you have the files. :)
Also, this thread is a bit weird. I had great experiences with /e/OS though, so nothing against de-Googled Android.
GrapheneOS is not a ROM & it is not custom android. Its a open source linux operation system based on the fork of AOSP with major privacy/security impriovments not found elsewhere currently. The OS shipping on Android devices is an AOSP-based OS made by the device vendor. GrapheneOS isn’t a customization of that OS and neither OS is a ROM.
AOSP is android. :)
