I've been using it for the past year and it works well. With one exception. The couple of times I've called emergency services, they were not able to detect my location since GrapheneOS does not support the protocol for this. So, I had to waste time giving directions. It's a tradeoff for privacy vs safety. It might be something to think about before, say, putting this on someone's phone who has a medical condition or is elderly. https://github.com/GrapheneOS/os-issue-tracker/issues/1174

I have to agree with mid-kid here. GrapheneOS is great for security, but some of that ends up directly in conflict with privacy. For example years ago I opened an issue around runtime-patching applications (https://github.com/GrapheneOS/os-issue-tracker/issues/284) and was told it didn't make sense in the OS. Putting aside the validity of arguments on either side of that issue, runtime patching allows me to very quickly excise large swaths of anti-privacy code across every app on my phone. If I was to switch to GrapheneOS I'd have to accept that I'd be giving up a fair amount of privacy for the added security.

I used CyanogenMod/LineageOS for the better part of a decade and switched to GrapheneOS a couple years ago and haven't looked back. When it comes to security (and privacy), GrapheneOS blows LineageOS out of the water in pretty much every way, e.g.: - Arbitrary-length encryption passphrases - General security hardening: Memory hardening, sandbox hardening etc. - Non-rooted (i.e. much higher security barriers for malicious apps to take over control over your phone) - No userdebug mode (LineageOS ROMs are often development builds which weaken the security of the OS, see e.g. https://github.com/GrapheneOS/os-issue-tracker/issues/284#issuecomment-690417436 ) - Fully secured boot chain (in other words: A thief won't be able to do much with your phone) - Sandboxing of Google services (*if* you want to use them), i.e. Google no longe

Are you suggesting GrapheneOS is bug-free? ... https://github.com/GrapheneOS/os-issue-tracker/issues It was referring to the overall experience to which I was referring, not the OS specifically ("it's a buggy ride", it = the ride, not GrapheneOS) I imagine a lot of the issues are because of the apps not testing on GrapheneOS. But I've had lots of little issues: - Nova Launcher on a daily basis stopped working when pressing the right button (the 'overview' button). I had to kill the stock Launcher app to fix it, interestingly. Had to revert to the stock launcher - 1Password frequently doesn't trigger auto-fill in Vivaldi - Occasionally on boot the SIM unlock doesn't trigger - Camera crashing often (yes, "could be hardware"...I read the forums/GitHub issues) More that I can't remember. It's a bit frustrating. But don't get me wrong, I appre
