#grapheneos — Public Fediverse posts

@hyzen it is my understanding from reading people's posts, that it is possible.
I've also read of people creating a separate user profile in order to install the play service, which can allow some banking apps to work.
If you have a little scroll in the #grapheneos you should find some people who have been through this, alternatively the site wiki milay be able to help.

Is it possible to go back to stock Pixel, if you're on #GrapheneOS and some banking apps don't work? Would they flag the device as rooted?

The first Motorola phones to officially support GrapheneOS are coming in 2027. The security-hardened version of Android won't be pre-installed, but they'll be the first non-Pixel devices supported, thanks to Motorola's aid. Only high-end models will be supported at launch though. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/08/motorolas-grapheneos-phones-will-launch-in-2027-priced-higher-than-pixels/ #Motorola #GrapheneOS

@slashdot
This is going to be a major breakthrough. Given #motorola models (even the flagships) are more accessible (economically) compared to the current crop of #pixel devices, I'm sure this would help getting more people to adopt a far superior #privacy focused #grapheneos. Looking forward for this to come out (Probably the next edition of #signature series?)

@stux I'm not sure who needs to hear it, but they're probably reading this thread... #Obtanium is a really neat alternative to the Google Play Store: if I understand correctly, I give it the URL to the git repository, and it can fetch the app and monitor for updates; the security-conscious crowd like this because it reduces dependence on a third party (like Google or F-Droid). So far I've got about a quarter of my apps through it.

🔴 Erfahrung mit alternativen Betriebssystemen auf Smartphone

#eos #grapheneos

🍁 Ich nutze ja bereits seit einigen Jahren #eos auf einem #fairphone4 und #grapheneos auf einem #pixel8a

⭐ Jetzt gab es für beide Betriebssysteme Updates.

👉 eOS auf Android 14 (Version 4.2)

👉 GrapheneOS auf Android 17

Also scheint GrapheneOS schon etwas aktueller zu sein 🤔

@gael

Privacy tools, #VPNs and hardened operating systems like #GrapheneOS do not resist the surveillance apparatus. They perfect it.

​By transforming digital protection into a consumer product, we surrender to classic neoliberal dogma. #Privacy is reframed as a matter of individual discipline, technical literacy, and personal self-optimization. If your data is harvested, it is treated as your own failure of digital hygiene.

​This shift normalizes total surveillance as an unalterable natural law. Instead of demanding collective, systemic political transformation, we retreat into private digital bunkers. We internalize the panopticon and mistake personal insulation for genuine freedom.

​When digital self-defense becomes an individual burden, surveillance is no longer challenged. It is commodified, accepted, and quietly integrated into everyday life.

Calling #GrapheneOS a "privacy OS" is a fundamental misnomer. It offers local endpoint hardening, not network privacy.

The moment you connect to the internet, the entire privacy illusion collapses: your ISP, DNS provider, VPN host, and #Mastodon instance admins can still trace and log your activity with total visibility.

GrapheneOS essentially locks the local front door while leaving every network window wide open, creating a dangerous false sense of security.

If your threat model requires protection against real-world surveillance, metadata tracking, and online profiling, GrapheneOS is completely useless.

@tpaau17db For me, GrapheneOS is not a privacy project. It does not meet my requirements for privacy. It does not protect me from tracking. As soon as I use the browser, I am tracked by everyone: my ISP, VPN, and DNS providers. I am tracked when I use #Mastodon; the operators of my instance can monitor me perfectly. For my use case and my understanding of #privacy, GrapheneOS is completely useless. It is technically incapable of protecting me from tracking. I do not know what definition of privacy #GrapheneOS uses, but it certainly does not match mine.

@tariii #GrapheneOS improves the security and privacy over the AOSP. Claiming it is just a security project and not a privacy project is simply inaccurate. GrapheneOS is a security AND privacy project. Just read their features page, there's plenty of privacy-related features listed there: https://grapheneos.org/features

There's of course not such a thing as perfect software. The GOS team can't patch architectural flaws of Android, but still it's arguably the most secure OS you can run on your phone.

The "privacy" community (not the security community) has become so undemanding and demoralized that they believe #GrapheneOS offers genuine privacy.

They don't even believe in #privacy in the pre-Snowden sense anymore.

What I’ve never understood about #GrapheneOS is this: why don’t users get root access, yet are allowed to install all kinds of corporate spyware apps that track them? GrapheneOS cannot prevent tracking by TikTok, YouTube, Amazon, etc.

@JanaDelBosco si te puede servir, yo tengo una app desde hace tiempo que suele -no siempre- ayudarme a ver el nivel de funcionamiento/compatibilidad de una app en #GrapheneOS (mi pareja y yo tb lo usamos).

Se llama Plexus:
https://f-droid.org/packages/tech.techlore.plexus

Edit: como tendrás que ver como funciona, te he agilizado el research inicial de estas 2 apps y me temo que:
- eBird: solo tiene reseñas de Lineage y crDroid, pero con gservices alternativos le funciona a mas gente, asique no deberíamos ser menos (no he probado, mañana si me acuerdo pruebo y te digo pero literalmente me voy ya a dormir :/ ).
- Merlin ID: no está catalogado siquiera en Plexus :/

Pido disculpas por el embarrancamiento de la recomendación pero jurao que es útil jajaja 🙌🏼

"bro please trust your vpn provider! zerotrust? whats that?"

#grapheneos #privacy #zerotrust #vpn

Miro en el foro de #GrapheneOS y hay un hilo abierto sobre este tema desde hace como 3 años. Pero lo que es jodidamente raro es que a mi amigo, que también tiene GrapheneOS y hemos comprobado que tiene los mismos ajustes que yo puestos, SÍ le funcionan. Me está volviendo loquita estoooo. Por lo pronto estoy sustituyendo Merlin por BirdNET Live.

@tpaau17db @mattesilver @nextcloud by not being tracked.

but #grapheneos can't prevent tracking. your isp, your vpn and dns provider track you. tiktok, X and mastodon track you. sandboxing doesn't prevent this.

grapheneos devs track you: grapheneos phones communicates with their servers by default, transmitting metadata.

@GrapheneOS are responsible for the massive confusion surrounding the concept of #privacy.

Your ISP, #VPN and DNS providers track you. The moment you use TikTok or X, you’re being tracked. Highly precise psychological profiles of you are being created. And no, sandboxing doesn't prevent that.

I can believe that #GrapheneOS is useful against Cellebrite and Pegasus.

But please, stop labeling it a "privacy" phone. This is simply misleading.

@mattesilver @nextcloud security. not privacy.

#grapheneos can't deliver privacy. at least not in the way, 99% of people interpret the term.

#OsmAnd + #GrapheneOS

Problème d'enregistrement de trace GPS.

Quand je fais "Enregistrer ma trace"
- si l'écran reste allumé (repérage), l'enregistrement fonctionne.
- Sur un circuit connu, smartphone en veille dans la bretelle du sac, la trace ne s'enregistre qu'à l'activation de l'écran (souvent en fin de parcours).

Pas de souci avant de passer sous GrapheneOS.

Déjà rencontré ce cas ? Config? Vient-il de GrapheneOS ou d'OsmAnd ?

Repouet souhaité.

I'm more than willing to pay some more if that improves my security and privacy.
