Do not really understand how Android sandboxing works for system apps.

    I recommend checking this table out.

    CalyxOS misses the mark imo. It does a couple things well (such as its improved Dialer app, and the ability for hotspots/tethered devices to be able to use the phone’s VPN/Tor) that I hope to see other projects adopt, but beyond that, it just doesn’t seem to stack up.

    I’m not trying to bash them or anything because at the end of the day, they clearly have good intentions which I can respect, but I do hope they improve on a lot of things, because in its current state, CalyxOS just doesn’t even compare to GrapheneOS or DivestOS.

      The only thing which stop me to install Graphene is that I need some apps that I’m not sure will work with this os

        GrapheneOS has pretty much perfect app compatibility. I don’t think I’ve ever ran into an issue in around a year of using it as my daily driver.

        Most apps function without Play Services, but you may lose some functionality like notifications, and a couple apps do very rarely genuinely break. But, that’s where Sandboxed Play Services comes in, which you can even put in an entirely separate user profile if you want to, so that you can still safely use those apps.

        But yeah, I’ve personally had no issues with app compatibility. Even my bank app works perfectly on Graphene (didn’t even require Play Services either!).
