Yeah, GetPocket App from Aurora store was able to turn on location on GrapheneOS about 4 months back. After reading the AuroraOSS Store Founder’s profile on Gitlab, I no longer trust AuroraOSS and if you are using GrapheneOS I would advise to vet and install your own apks.
I had a CalyxOS phone whose ROM was hacked which should be impossible outside the factory. Yes, I’m sure and if you had access to the phone, you would also be sure. I’m a huge target whereas most people are not so maybe some high end team was run at me and that would not happen to you.
I’m not competent enough about mobile OS security as of yet to vet mobile OS in detail, but thanks for awareness on Lineage/Divest.
Wow, that’s messed up with Get Pocket. Wonder how it was able to do that?
I’ll take you at your word for the ROM hack, I just can’t see how it could be done if your bootloader is locked and you maintain physical control of the device. We really don’t know what capabilities are out there for state-level actors (for all we know there’s code in the hardware that we simply can’t access, I’ve seen discussion of such things on ROM forums).
I’ll take a look at the Aurora git - thanks for telling me about it.
Good luck.
