BTW, @TrK have you jailbroken your iPad?

I am not into jail breaking my devices, for security reasons. I even don't root my android since last 4 years.

I used to like a decade ago. Not after I moved to Pixel. Might root only for the purpose of running Graphene.

Just don't see any value to it now, was kinda interesting and with all the fuss about magisk and what not, after that it just died down.

But, Graphene's different, from what I've heard. It does take the fun out of the phone if you use it mainly as a media consumption device. But, if you are privacy and security-centric, Graphene is the OS to have. Edward Snowden recommended it a few years ago.

isn't it just another AOSP fork i have seen too many tbh all promising this and that, but the security part of any AOSP fork is a joke unless you stopped using Android altogether, the only reason my main device is apple and secondary is android is due to this. Android isn't that secure imo and even though we know it we just can't have google disclose everything.

No, GrapheneOS is not "just another AOSP fork". Here is a great YouTube video (using a Privacy Front-end) if you want to have a better in-depth explaination of what GrapheneOS really is - I evolved from CopperheadOS, which was never an AOSP fork.

https://invidious.nerdvpn.de/watch?v=WkQ_OCzuLNg

If my memory serves me right copperhead was also AOSP powered OS with some privacy tweaks and graphene made it to later stage with improvements over the time. But i feel like about it is just plainly if only if ubuntu touch could have gotten that much support and i might have started using that instead of any AOSP powered rom. Be it graphene or any other.

There are plenty of Linux-based phone OS, like PostmarketOS, Mobian, and as you mentioned Ubuntu Touch.

GrapheneOS provides you will "full disk encryption" using hardware and not just software like all the other phones out there today.

Thank you for this. Didn't even know these OSes had Pixel ports.

The Pixel phones are the only phones with the Titan M security chip which enables it to have that hardware device encryption - all other phones claiming encryption only do so on the sofware level. _Phones have been "my thing" for the last 10+ years _

Yah, I can totally see that. I was looking for the name of the security chip. Thanks for mentioning it. So, you mean every other brand that advertises encryption, like OnePlus only have software-based enc, and can't have hardware encryption on something like Graphene?

Unless they've released a competitor to the Titan M chip, then that is correct.

Heard of Samsung Knox as well, but, not sure if its hw or sw.

That's vendor lockdown crap - I use to love Scamsung phones like 8 years ago too

Have you used Graphene before?

I've been daily driving it for 4 or 5 years now - it's great!

Oh wow, that's awesome. What would your review be? Like it's deGoogled and misses out on a lot of stuff. How was the migration?

I would highly recommend it to others who want the best privacy and security on an Android phone.

Every phone still does suffer from the "blackbox" which we can not see into - the phone antenna & modem. Only way to solve that is to not use a phone

Makes complete sense. BTW, did you read this - https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/gadgets-news/apples-new-patent-shows-airpods-with-brain-wave-detecting-sensors/articleshow/102278175.cms or know about this?

I had not heard about this, but I don't put much stock into anything Apple does as they are a major surveillance capitalist company who utilizes their user base as data livestock while selling them fake promises.

The funny thing is, if Apple is doing it, I can't even imagine what a surveillance hawk like CHina might be doing to the phones they sell worldwide.

And imagine what our little android is doing, eavesdropping on our every convo.

Maybe yours is

Aren't most of the companies in the world like that? capitalism is the core of a corporate.

Sure, but part of having & wanting privacy in your life is controlling how, or even if, you feed these companies who are heavily profitting off of people who are completely unaware (or just plainly don't care). It would be one thing if they paid you for your data, but you get harvested without any compensation.

Well that's that we can't do anything about them and honestly i think we need stricter privacy protection laws and the right to know what are phones are transmitting over the internet and where to.

Privacy protection laws are still in their nascent stage. Do you know what's the biggest hurdle here? Borders! What is applicable in the EU doesn't apply to India or US, and viceversa. Until or unless the whole world comes together and decided on a set of ethical rules for conduct of big corporates regarding data and privacy protection, every other step is makeshift and temporary.

Full disk encryption isn't only available to graphene, it was introduced with google pixel 5(ig), and many other AOSP based roms also have the same disk encryption feature enabled cause the hardware was supported, it's kinda same a tpm no one knew untill MS forced it on everyone's head with bullet.

As I said to @noob404 above: "The Pixel phones are the only phones with the Titan M security chip which enables it to have that hardware device encryption - all other phones claiming encryption only do so on the sofware level. "

I only trust full disk encryption on devices & computers which I install the OS on - otherwise it's not to be trusted.

Never had the time to look into encryption. Is it really worth it, unless your phone/device has some hyper-confidential info?

Everyone has a different "threat model" and it all depends on what yours is, i.e. what adversaries are you protecting yourself and your data from?

Again makes sense. But, since the whole world is interconnected now, you can't see a potential adversary. So, I guess it's better to put some time into encryption. Prevention better than cure.

Imagine having your phone stolen without encryption and then the thief can do whatever he wants with your phone contact list or any other data on your phone such a Banking App, which most banks continue to move people towards using...

Makes complete sense. BTW, did you read this - https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/gadgets-news/apples-new-patent-shows-airpods-with-brain-wave-detecting-sensors/articleshow/102278175.cms or know about this?

I had not heard about this, but I don't put much stock into anything Apple does as they are a major surveillance capitalist company who utilizes their user base as data livestock while selling them fake promises.

Aren't most of the companies in the world like that? capitalism is the core of a corporate.

Sure, but part of having & wanting privacy in your life is controlling how, or even if, you feed these companies who are heavily profitting off of people who are completely unaware (or just plainly don't care). It would be one thing if they paid you for your data, but you get harvested without any compensation.

Well that's that we can't do anything about them and honestly i think we need stricter privacy protection laws and the right to know what are phones are transmitting over the internet and where to.

We need to do all of this - protect ourselves, have government aid us with stricter privacy protection laws to force companies to be transparent about what is being transmitted. Could also run Wireshark on your network to see data about what is being transmitted too.

Oh I see. But, isn't the thread supposed to be SFW. It'd be wise to block NSFW for now.

yes yes, however people can generate nsfw and just not post, anything generated stays on my vps

I see. Hope no one posts NSFW stuff here. Maybe a disclaimer on the page warning about this could be handy.

BTW, @TrK have you jailbroken your iPad?

I am not into jail breaking my devices, for security reasons. I even don't root my android since last 4 years.

I used to like a decade ago. Not after I moved to Pixel. Might root only for the purpose of running Graphene.

Just don't see any value to it now, was kinda interesting and with all the fuss about magisk and what not, after that it just died down.

But, Graphene's different, from what I've heard. It does take the fun out of the phone if you use it mainly as a media consumption device. But, if you are privacy and security-centric, Graphene is the OS to have. Edward Snowden recommended it a few years ago.

isn't it just another AOSP fork i have seen too many tbh all promising this and that, but the security part of any AOSP fork is a joke unless you stopped using Android altogether, the only reason my main device is apple and secondary is android is due to this. Android isn't that secure imo and even though we know it we just can't have google disclose everything.

No, GrapheneOS is not "just another AOSP fork". Here is a great YouTube video (using a Privacy Front-end) if you want to have a better in-depth explaination of what GrapheneOS really is - I evolved from CopperheadOS, which was never an AOSP fork.

https://invidious.nerdvpn.de/watch?v=WkQ_OCzuLNg

Have you used Graphene before?

I've been daily driving it for 4 or 5 years now - it's great!

Oh wow, that's awesome. What would your review be? Like it's deGoogled and misses out on a lot of stuff. How was the migration?

And also is Apple doing this "because they care" or is really because they want to harvest that data about people too?

You know the answer to that question very well.

I'm sure we all know that answer here

The 5 Eyes prolly have the biggest database of everyone's data, more than corporates prolly.

Exactly. Apple anyways almost went down the drain after Steve Jobs.

The funny thing is, if Apple is doing it, I can't even imagine what a surveillance hawk like CHina might be doing to the phones they sell worldwide.

And imagine what our little android is doing, eavesdropping on our every convo.

Maybe yours is

Maybe everyone's unless you have it switched off, sometimes i feel like android was developed in that way only to hear everything even if your phones in pockets. I might be wrong here but who knows.
