Instead it would be great if you join the fight against Google (and Apple) by using FOSS and independent distributions like GrapheneOS. It is the most secure and private option we have today. Most apps work as it is except a few those who purposefully use Google Play Integrity API to block independent platforms.


Yeah it would be nice to break away from the google ecosystem and install GrapheneOS on whatever device I like-

GrapheneOS has official production support for the following devices:

    Pixel 9a (tegu)
    Pixel 9 Pro Fold (comet)
    Pixel 9 Pro XL (komodo)
    Pixel 9 Pro (caiman)
    Pixel 9 (tokay)
    Pixel 8a (akita)
    Pixel 8 Pro (husky)
    Pixel 8 (shiba)
    Pixel Fold (felix)
    Pixel Tablet (tangorpro)
    Pixel 7a (lynx)
    Pixel 7 Pro (cheetah)
    Pixel 7 (panther)
    Pixel 6a (bluejay)
    Pixel 6 Pro (raven)
    Pixel 6 (oriole)


The GrapheneOS project is working to correct the problem. For more information see this comment written 18 days ago:

Useful info. Thanks for sharing!


It's been discussed previously, but pixel devices are chosen for hardware security feature sets. Other devices are either not compatible/open enough to use or a security downgrade.


As much as I'd like to, the vast majority of android phones are incapable of installing grapheneOS.


If you can switch to an iPhone, you can switch to a phone capable of installing grapheneOS though…
