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.
Unfortunately Samsung is making it more difficult to impossible to unlock the bootloaders of their recent devices, but you can reflash some of their older models at least to ROM's like crDroid - https://crdroid.net/
