I just found out this ROM a few months ago, they don’t advertise it too much, most of the talk happens on their Telegram channels.

They provide some features from Graphene that could interest DeGooglers. Like sandboxed Play Services, even tho, very important to note, they don’t advertise it as a “degoogled” or “privacy-focused” ROM, but they provide these features (some imported from Graphene):

There are few devices officially supported (14 I guess, mostly Xiaomi), but you could build it for your device if you know how to do it and possibly bring more attention to it. All their sources are on GitHub.

Does this support relocking the bootloader after install? That’s an important security feature that GrapheneOS has on its phones. DivestOS phones also had this feature before the project was shelved.

Problem no itself in os at all most vendors do not let install any custom sign keys at bootloader level, if u gonna lock bootloader u literally just break ur phone

I don’t think so. It’s just a normal custom ROM, like Lineage or CrDroid. But they implement these features for non-Pixel devices which is great.

That’s not a Graphene feature, that’s a feature of the supported device and one of the few reasons why Graphene is only available on Google Pixel phones.

There is also RestlessOS which explicitly sets out to be a GSI with as much feature parity with GrapheneOS as possible. Definitely worth a look!
