Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 are end-of-life and shouldn’t be used anymore due to lack of security patches for firmware and drivers. We provide extended support for harm reduction.

Its a shame that other custom Roms cant isolate gsf and gps. May be devs can use some help from graphene os
Sandboxed Google Play could be ported to other OSes.
I would like to let you know that a ROM is Read Only Memory, which means unchangeable permanent storage. The area the Operating System is stored, is in fact a writeable drive, unlike a ROM. This means referring to GOS as a ROM makes no sense and as such should be called an aftermarket OS or alternative OS.
Can’t or won’t…or haven’t tried? Do you know that others have tried and failed? Also, GrapheneOS is open source, so they’re free to use it
