Wow, according to reviews when you start a #Pixel 10 Pro, 10 out of 16 GB of RAM are already occupied by the OS and (primarily) AI. Leaving just ~1/3 of the memory for all your apps. Crazy. 🤯
#GrapheneOS is already based on #Android 16. They also deliver security fixes more quickly than Google itself.
Switching to GrapheneOS was the best phone-related decision I've made in years. I hope phones will be available for it in future. I just can't imagine going back to mainstream options that force you to choose between privacy and user freedom.
OEMs are racing to see how quickly they can release security patches AFTER Google publishes the monthly #Android #security bulletin. Today, #GrapheneOS delivered me an update which gets my phone to the July security patch level, so BEFORE Google officially publishes it. If only all the major OEMs were as quick as this community project.
I was on FP3+, now on FP5. but I would LOVE to see #GrapheneOS on it. but Graphene OS always says, that the fairphones aren't good/secure enough, and a bad update policy... so I'm not sure if my next one, whenever my FP5 dies, will be again a fairphone tbh
Today on the degoogling journey: How can I make the best out of a Pixel's camera on #GrapheneOS? 🤔
The default camera app doesn't begin to exploit all the nice things that the Pixel camera hardware can do, and I do want nice things. 😁
Installing the Google camera means having to install the Google gallery to open the pictures and more google crap, and I don't want to go to a sandbox profile every time I'd like to take a picture.
In May, we began preparing to port to Android 16 despite our most active senior developer responsible for leading OS development being unavailable (https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/114359660453627718).
V tomto blogpostu jsem si pro vás připravil praktické tipy na to, jak lépe chránit své soukromí na mobilním telefonu: od operačního systému, přes prohlížeč až po VPN.
📱 Válí se mi doma Pixel 6a s GrapheneOS. Mám tu plně funkční Google Pixel 6a s nainstalovaným GrapheneOS. Bezpečnostní aktualizace do července 2027. Perfektní pro někoho, kdo to myslí vážně se soukromím a chce bezpečný telefon bez Google sledovaček.
Telefon má známky běžného používání a trochu zlobí konektor na nabíjení, ale jinak šlape v pohodě.
Kdyby někomu udělal radost a využil ho naplno, dej vědět do zpráv. Rád ho pošlu dál – hlavně někomu, kdo ví, co má v rukou. 🙂
I really like the backup function in #GrapheneOS based on #Seedvault. I know it doesn't work 100%, some apps don't support it etc. But in my case >90% of apps get backed up and restored.
This is what all Androids should have. I understand #Google doesn't want to do it because for them #Android is just a gateway to their services and when you have all your data in their cloud, you don't need such backups. But other Android vendors should have it.
GrapheneOS: Android pro lehce paranoidní uživatele
Pokud chcete mobilní telefon, který je bezpečný, opravdu respektuje vaše soukromí, zároveň nechcete přijít o populární aplikace, bez kterých už se dnes těžko obejdete, může vám současný trh přijít jako výběr mezi kompromisy. Podíval jsem se tedy na systém, který o sobě tvrdí, že jimi netrpí.
I bought a #Pixel 6a to finally switch to #GrapheneOS. You can get a used one for €120 and it still has 2.5 years of support. Software-wise, so far so good. Even banking apps like #Revolut work without having to install anything from #Google. 👌
Quoting a Mastodon post by GrapheneOS: "The app doesn't provide client-side scanning used to report things to Google or anyone else. It provides on-device machine learning models usable by applications to classify content as being spam, scams, malware, etc. This allows apps to check content locally without sharing it with a service and mark it with warnings for users."
interessant. Ich kämpfe auf meinem #grapheneos auch seit einer Weile mit dem Akkuverbrauch von #signal. Schade, dass in #younohost seit dem Update auf #debian 12 nicht mehr automatisch ein #XMPP Server integriert ist. Das war schon ein sehr bequemer Weg für Laien wie mich, unfallfrei, unkompliziert und günstig einen solchen zu klicken und pflegen.
I installed #Signal and #Conversations_im on a clean install of #GrapheneOS on my Pixel 4a and measured the battery impact. The results are shocking!
Both messengers had only one contact: my regular phone.
I used my regular phone to send messages to the Pixel 4a (which was not used for anything else over the course of the experiment).
I always sent the same message via Signal and #XMPP (mixing up which app went first). In total I sent ~32 messages in intervals of 10mins to a few hours.
Tady je porovnání iPhone a různých odnoží Androidu. Většina lidí má "Android" - distribuci plnou šmírovátek od Google obohacenou o bloatware výrobce, který nejen že šmíruje po svém, ale často zavléká bezpečnostní chyby, zabírá místo v úložišti i RAM.
V GrapheneOS mimo jiné vůbec není položka "Reklama" s Mobile Advertising ID.

GrapheneOS and android 15 beta upgrade. Pixel8 on the big screen, unbeatable. I probably won't think about a linux phone, at least not for a while, because now I have a notebook in my pocket, without google and most FOSS apps. Tidal from the phone looks good on the big screen, all other apps work too. #GrapheneOS #pixel8 #bigscreen #nextlevel #degoogle
@jan Já používám Pixely, už pár let, na jiné telefony nejde nahrát #grapheneos, ale Pixel 6a má baterii fakt nic moc a to nemluvím o tom, že se občas i dost zahřívá.
Tapping on #UnifiedPush in the #Dav5X settings instantly picked up UnifiedPush and subscribed, showing my account in brackets. The NextPush Android app showed Davx5 as subscribed.
It seems I had to turn the collection off and on a couple of times before it showed as subscribed, and it still takes about 30 seconds to update. Could that just be #GrapheneOS's default calendar app that I'm using?
»Firma verschleudert 3,6 Milliarden Standorte von Menschen in Deutschland«. Seit Jahren erwähne ich in fast jedem Artikel, in dem es um Tracking und Android-Apps geht, dass die Google Advertising-ID ein personenbeziehbares Datum ist. Dies wurde nun erneut eindrucksvoll bewiesen. 👇
Weg aus der Misere: Verwendet googlefreie Systeme wie #GrapheneOS und nutzt Werbe- und Trackingblocker.
@IzzyOnDroid Auch bei 'meinen' / den von mir 'verwalteten' drei #grapheneos Geräten bisher keine Chance zum OptOut. Auch schon beim Vorgänger von #utiq (#trustpid) ging es nicht. Wollte es gleich mal mit nem Notebook via WLanHotspot probieren.
Ein absolutes #NoGo! Jährlich? Und jeder NICHT #digitalnatives erfährt davon erst garnichts. 🤬
