maybe I'll look at this again. thanks
I do agree that it would be nice if things gave us some actual options. We shouldn't have to install third party stuff to get basics. There should be a selection on purchase as to what comes stock. (And no bloatware crap that forces us to have to reinstall anyway.)
But sadly that doesn't exist and Graphene phones won't come with a selection either. If you decide you want, say, Calyx when it comes back (soon?) you'll need to unlock it and flash. If they let you. We'll have to see... (The dev behind Graphene is kind of stubborn about this stuff and I can absolutely see them declaring that unlocking being allowed at all is a security hazard and thus it should not be allowed.)

@GOKUSHRM well, from what I understand, they don't have enough secure devices right know, but they will have

I have a Fairphone and the biggest gripe I have with it is Android. I still can't believe Fairphone haven't read the room and provided and alternative privacy based option out of the box without having to flash firmware and risk bricking your phone. this is interesting
@slamr @itsfoss Well, depends on which box...

@krzemyk hope so

@petitmote @johnlogic @itsfoss
yeh that's exactly my point, it's not exactly a secret the community has been asking for this for years and FP seem to have just ignored it in preference to letting the community do all the heavy lifting

@el_haych2024 @itsfoss I’m not totally convinced that this is the right decision. Motorola devices are neither cheap nor do they have outstanding quality. And I’m also not sure whether they’re at the same level as a Pixel when it comes to security.
But probably the best move considering that Google does their best to hinder custom ROMs. Unfortunately there is no pressure on Google to be more open. How was their slogan once upon a time? Don’t be evil…?
@NebulaTide @el_haych2024 @itsfoss
Ja, vor einiger Zeit "Don’t be evil…?".
Aber zu der Zeit auch schon nur ein Slogan ohne echte Werte dahinter.
Vielleicht als Wunschgedanke in den Anfängen bei Google... -

@GOKUSHRM Current Motorola phones aren’t secure enough to be okay for Graphene. Next ones made in collaboration with Graphene most likely will be secure enough.

Tired of Google's Tracking? Motorola's GrapheneOS-Powered Phones Are Coming
You won't need to pay Google for using GrapheneOS soon.
It's FOSS (itsfoss.com)
