Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens (www.androidauthority.com)

TL;DR

  • Efforts like Graphene OS face increasing pressure from apps that refuse to run on non-standard Android.
  • The custom ROM project characterizes Google’s approach to device attestation as incomplete and flawed.
  • Graphene OS is prepared to take legal action if Google won’t let it pass Play Integrity checks.

Wow, I legit just ordered a used pixel yesterday to give graphene a try lol. Uncanny timing!

Anyhow, that's great news! I can really see the EU sinking its teeth into this if nothing else.

I plan on doing the same thing, any tips on finding cheap recent-ish Pixels?

A brand new Murena Fairphone 4 (North America) is about $600 brand new, IIRC. I've been on one for the last 6 months and it's excellent.

I'm planning on flashing my One Plus 9 Pro with Murena's ROM. I'm working on getting de-googlefied.

Perhaps consider DivestOS as well if it's supported, seems to be a way tidier package when it comes to security and privacy.

Thanks for the recommendation!
