I Installed a Graphene-Based OS on Non-Pixel Phones… Here’s the Catch

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RjGjqBAAgQ

"I was watching youtube(Invidious) and notied RestlessOS . Have you heard of this and are there people actually tried this on non-pixel phone?

"RestlessOS is an unofficial, unaffiliated fork of GrapheneOS packaged as a Generic System Image (GSI) for Project Treble devices. It is not endorsed by, sponsored by, or in any way connected to the GrapheneOS project or its developers."

I'm very hesitant to give money to Google pixel so I'm going to experiment on this one."

The primary technical hurdle with RestlessOS on non-Pixel devices is the reliance on Project Treble, which often results in incomplete SELinux enforcement and missing vendor-specific security patches that GrapheneOS explicitly requires for its hardening. Without the verified Google Play System Image and full vendor attestation, the supply chain integrity and secure boot guarantees that define GrapheneOS cannot be fully replicated on arbitrary Treble-compatible hardware.
