Anyone got any ideas on how to force another OS onto my phone? I'm fed up with it.
I haven't looked into it much yet but grapheneOS has apparently come a far way and has an easy installer nowadays.
Only reason I've paused is I have to use a private 2fa authenticator for work and not sure if it'd work on the OS, but it looks like they've gotten most major bank apps work on it so that's one less obstacle
Unfortunately they don't support any devices besides Google's Pixel: https://grapheneos.org/faq#device-support
Supporting at least major Samsung models would help adoption.
Had not idea, that really sucks. Guess im in the same boat with samsung..
GrapheneOS puts 0 compromises on user-security in addition to privacy. They don't really have anything to gain by supporting less secure hardware to drive adoption.
Motorola seems to be cashing in on providing the alternative, though, which is a win for everyone
It's not an easy install if it literally can't be fucking installed on most devices.
Had no idea, no reason to get hostile about it.
