GrapheneOS is finally ready to break free from Pixels, and it may never look back https://www.androidauthority.com/graphene-os-major-android-oem-partnership-3606853/ TL;DR The makers of GrapheneOS have confirmed they are partnering with a major Android OEM to bring the privacy-focused Android fork to Snapdragon-powered smartphones. The project has confirmed it’s bringing support for Pixel 10, but is unsure whether support will continue for Pixel 11. GrapheneOS didn’t reveal the name of its new partner, but said that those devices will be priced in the same range as Pixels. --- Saw this coming. It would have been nice to see more transparency and less "everything is fine, we've got it covered" when I engaged with them about the recent Google updates just two months ago. The technical realities I was asking about clearly pointed here, and the dismissive responses didn't inspire confidence. nostr:nevent1qqsrnwcn5nlhs00nycrtvjf2d7g0qcudua6l3x47yr38tzparffuvxsprdmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68yurvv438xtnrdakj7q3qf6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4ksxpqqqqqqz68manv Either way, this kind of partnership was supposed to happen years ago before that deal fell through. Let's hope all those who recently bought Pixels specifically to run GrapheneOS will get the years of updates they expected before needing to migrate to this new device. I stopped using GOS as a primary device months ago—it was a pain getting my data off, and Google's Play Integrity API is making it harder for apps to install on custom ROMs. I still recommend them to most people for secondary devices. The privacy fundamentals are solid, but GrapheneOS has always relied on Pixel's superior hardware security (Titan M2, verified boot, etc.). Finding an OEM partner with comparable hardware security has been a bottleneck all along. I'm genuinely interested to see what they come up with. #IKITAO #Privacy #GrapheneOS #Pixel

A bit late to the party, but... 🎉 Happy 5th Anniversary to the Global Encryption Coalition (GEC)! From 37 members in 2020 to a global network of 466 organizations across 108 countries today. In 5 years, we've advocated for strong encryption in 93+ countries, protecting digital privacy worldwide. #Encryption #Privacy #GlobalEncryptionDay https://www.globalencryption.org/2025/05/celebrating-5-years-of-the-global-encryption-coalition/

One thing I do not miss from running #GrapheneOS on my main device is the "Optimizing apps" process after each update that significantly slows your phone down and cripples its usability for up to 40+ minutes. #IKITAO #Privacy #Tech
