Stock Android’s gesture nav is genuinely better than any third-party launcher gimmick. Google actually spent time on the physics and snap points. Most ‘improvements’ I’ve tried just add latency and inconsistency for no real gain.
How useful is it to run a Graphene derivative in a device without the required safety hardware?
It won’t give you the same level of exploit protection as GrapheneOS on proper hardware does, but it’s ten times better than running any other OS on the very same hardware.
UPD: Just read through it, due to GSI, they’ve stripped almost all strongest protections from GrapheneOS. It probably still be more secure and private than any other OS given the same hardware (and obviously, assuming the code hasn’t been tampered with malicious intent).
there are useful grapheneos features like sandboxed google play
I wish sandboxing was standard at this point. Things would be a lot more secure if you had to explicitly set up apps to share data or access specific files. I bet if it was standardized well, it wouldn’t even be a pain to handle like permissions can sometimes be. On windows, my pains were more around how the hell do I give/get access to these files than being upset at the need to do so in the first place.
20 years ago me would have hated it, but 20 years ago me was kinda dumb about many things including “if a big company produced this, the only thing I need to worry about is bugs because they wouldn’t betray a customer’s trust!”
20 years ago if had a little more truth to that. A little.
I see. If I ever get to change my main device, I’ll consider to unlock the bootloader and try this
Has it been renamed (to Restless OS) in the time since you posted this link?
So this is GrapheneOS for a wider variety of phones (minus the extra security, which may or may not matter to you)?
