TL;DR
- Efforts like Graphene OS face increasing pressure from apps that refuse to run on non-standard Android.
- The custom ROM project characterizes Google’s approach to device attestation as incomplete and flawed.
- Graphene OS is prepared to take legal action if Google won’t let it pass Play Integrity checks.
yeah. like my manufacturers’ 3-year-old, full-o-spyware ROM is more secure than latest clean installed lineage.
they just want control, not security. and with banking apps becoming a necessity, i’m starting to be forced to return to stock.
I really hope the GrapheneOS team succeed. Custom ROMs are reason I’m really into tech today. Coding, FOSS, Linux, etc. all that came from rooting my dad’s HTC phone back in the day. Google shouldn’t cannibalize its children.
Google shouldn’t cannibalize its children.
besides these two lazy kids and the witch who just wants to eat there’s also the hungry stepmom who pushed the idea and the deadbeat dad who went along with it (until both women die and he ends up the hero)
Sounds like the
GoogleAlphabet familyThe pattern feels like a-b-c sometimes, but the rebranding keeps the story feeling fresh
The only reason I stopped using grapheneOS was because Google contactless payment didn’t work.
Loved everything else about graphene thoI’ve never used contactless on my phone, I already had a contactless debit card. Why are you, and others, using their phones to pay?
I can create a virtual card before every trip, use it via my phone and then cancel it after the trip, never worrying if my card got skimmed anywhere for one.
For some fucking reason there is zero option for this type of secure virtual card in my country. And I hate it. A friend got skimmed for over $1200 a couple months ago.
