For years, there was a strange contradiction at the heart of one of Android’s most privacy-focused alternatives: if you wanted to get away from Google’s software, you generally had to buy a Google phone.

GrapheneOS has largely been tied to the Pixel because Google’s hardware has provided the security features the project needs to build its hardened version of Android.

Now, that compromise may finally be ending.

Ein Bericht einer niederländischen Zeitung, dass es dem niederländischem Forensik-Institut in einem Mordfall gelungen sei ein #GooglePixel Gerät zu ‚knacken‘ und bei zwei Geräten ‚positiver Dinge sei' löst derzeit eine Diskussion um die Sicherheit von #GrapheneOS aus. Wichtig: der Bericht spricht nur von drei #Pixel Handys und erwähnt nicht, ob diese mit echtem GrapheneOS oder Stock-OS benutzt wurden oder ob es sich sogar um bewusst im Umlauf gebrachte unsichere Geräte handelt. #ITSicherheit

Die wenigsten apps legen unter \android\data etc. ihre Informationen ab.

Wie und mit was macht ihr Datensicherungen vom Smartphone?
Schwierigkeitsgrad: keine SD-Card.

Paradossi della tecnologia

Google Pixel è contemporaneamente lo smartphone più tracciato ai fini di marketing e quello meno tracciabile installando GrapheneOS al posto del firmware originale

Irgendwie widerstrebt es mir, ein #Google #pixel zu besorgen, um #GrapheneOS haben zu können.

Using Signal on a GrapheneOS phone isn't always the best experience.
My father is running GOS but with a Google account. My sister is also on a Pixel but she is running PixelOS with a Google account. Neither have an issue receiving messages as they come in.

For me, most incoming messages are delayed even with Sandboxed Google Play installed. I do not have a Google account.

After allowing unrestricted battery, background data and unrestricted mobile data usage, messages are still arriving delayed.

Gotta be another reason which I figured was me not being signed into a Google account.

Turns out it's a setting within Signal.

Settings > Data and Storage > toggle on "Stay connected in background".

Signal will give a warning about battery drain but I'm getting about 1% per day which is nothing.

Zum Wochenende: GrapheneOS >>> Verdächtig!

Wer eine Landesgrenze überschreitet, sollte aufpassen, dass das richtige Smartphone mit dem richtigen Betriebssystem in der Hosentasche steckt.

@ChrisMayLA6 @Pionir
There are alternatives to a dumbphone if required. A De-Googled mobile such as a #Pixel mobile running #GrapheneOS for example.

Does someone have a #pixel #fold with #gos #grapheneos?

Are the apps and third party apps adapted for the screen size etc.?

Have you looked at #Pixel mobiles running #GrapheneOS ?

Je mehr ich mich mit den freien Phones beschäftige, desto verunsicherter werde ich. #volla, #pixel, #Fairphone oder das neue #motorola abwarten? #grapheneos #ubuntutouch , #lineageos , #eos ?
Wie es mit F-Droid weitergeht, ist auch noch offen , das kann wirklich keiner sagen.
Danke #bigtech ! 🖕
Google, go back to 'Don't be evil' or die.
