Is GrapheneOS the best, and why?

      Interesting, I went the other way around. I started with a similar setup as is discussed in the post before switching to Graphene. Google has Android setup in such a way it allows it them to navigate around restrictions established on the device. I wanted to install a privacy focused ROM so I would truly have control over what information Google can access, as it can be fully sandboxed with Graphene. Does suck to see the founder of Graphene is kind of a dick. Not to sure if this reduces the privacy and security Graphene provides, what do you make of Louis Rossmann’s video? Seems to me as if he swapped his ROM due to customer service issues and not the code.

      If your concern is solely with Daniel Micay’s behaviour he has in fact stepped down from the project as can bee seen in the following Nitter link provided. Otherwise I think debloating a stock rom is a good option for many people!

        He used to have 2 accounts (GrapheneOS, DanielMicay) on Reddit that he operated, has 2 aliases (strcat, thestinger) on GitHub, and has a whole army of sockpuppet witch hunters behind him. Always lied about harassment groups coming for him over many years. https://old.reddit.com/r/u_lo________________ol/comments/1314x2x/_/

        Within 24 hours of Rossmann’s exposé, he “stepped down”, and suddenly on his Discourse forum, there was a metric ton of censorship, comment deletions and silence on questions about Micay continuously. He not only did not apologise, but went underground. Why would he not just use another alias name and comeback?

        I covered the entire GrapheneOS and related privacy community drama over the course of the past 5 years. https://old.reddit.com/r/privatelife/comments/13teoo9/

      I find the yes the dev is a little intense, but you would be also when you have had multiple people harassing you and your project even going as far as getting squatted. The dev has a right to be mad, just because he’s being hyper defensive currently isn’t any reason for me not to continue to use GOS
