Can we take a breath here. The fact that this even exists is amazing. A third party android ROM has secured a flagship phone that finally peels us away from google and everyone is shitting on it.
Let it come to market, make it successful and give them reason to offer it as an option on other models.
, make it successful
How.
With a Epstein Class price tag, the only ones who can make it successful are… the Epstein Class.
Big question for me is will they try to put their own “flavor” on Graphene with pre-installed bloat apps?
I have a backup burner “normie” phone that’s a Motorola with regular Android, and when I got it I had to remove 20+ garbage apps using adb.
That’s an interesting question.
Fortunately being Graphene you should be able to do what you want. Though the Graphene team is very much anti-unlocked-bootloader.
Everyone should be anti-unlocked-bootloader - it enables bad things. What manufacturers usually are is anti-unlockable-bootloader.
All you need really is to unlock, flash your trusted thing and then lock it back up.
Meh, when my pixel 7a finally doesn’t receive support, I’ll be moving from GOS to LineageOS. As much as I love security, I hate ewaste more.
Please pleaseee be available worldwide!
