A friendly reminder that isps do NOT care about you or your digital rights. Always best to buy directly from the OEM rather than from the telecommunications (unless you can’t afford it). Do proper research before buying a phone!

    I’ve used all sorts of other ROM builds, lately I had been into LineageOS. Then I ran a stock Zenfone a while because I got sick of the never-ending treadmill of bootloader unlock>ROM>root>magisk etc etc

    After 9 months with a stock phone I got a (used) Pixel and put GrapheneOS on it. From first boot it took all of 10 minutes to unlock the bootloader and install GrapheneOS. The longest part was the download. Bootloader re-locked. Easy peasy.

    I’m a convert. I don’t prefer the Pixel hardware, tho it’s okay, but the ability to easily put my own OS on (and still use my banking apps) is pretty tits. I could revert to stock in 5 minutes.

      People have told me not to try graphene because of the devs reputation, do you think it matters really?

        The dev apparently has the attitude of a cocky 14 year old when any of their decisions are criticized. Whether that’s reason not to use the project is completely up to you.

          Thank you, well as long as the OS is secure then that doesn’t matter to me in the end
