GrapheneOS: the private and secure mobile OS
grapheneos.org
GrapheneOS is a security and privacy focused mobile OS with Android app compatibility.

After using LineageOS for long time, I have finally moved to GrapheneOS. I use a lot of banking and financial apps which I never felt comfortable using on LineageOS due to lack of proper sandboxing, unlocked bootloader etc.

GrapheneOS works flawlessly just like Android. You don’t even notice there’s hardening underneath. Also it protects from Google’s evil location tracking using WiFi/Bluetooth or even when the Location is turned off. I don’t understand how people in general are comfortable with Google tracking all the time. You can use Google Play and Play Services in a sandbox that works just like regular installation, but without deep tracking.

If you haven’t tried GrapheneOS, try it. You won’t go back to regular Android.

    My bank apps all work fine. Just keep your physical bank cards on you because Google Wallet won’t work with credit cards, NFC or transport passes. Your gig tickets and membership cards will load fine though.

    You probably don’t want Google rummaging through your purchase history anyway. I certainly don’t miss it.
