Why YSK GrapheneOS is a step above the rest. I understand it’s ironic de-google phone/tablet with google hardware, but it just works better then anything else. Permission toggles, pin scrambling, auto-reboot, scopes, MAC randomization, isolated user profiles, longer passwords, sandboxed apps, open source firmware, no bloat & the battery life is incredible now.

I hope people understand how easy it is to move to Linux & GrapheneOS full time & remove Apple, Google, Microsoft etc. It exceeded expectations so much so that I want to share it with other people. I cannot recommend this enough to improve your life. #FOSS

    I have the pixel 6 now and the fingerprint scanner sucks. I thought about getting a pixel 7 because I assumed it would be better, thanks for the warning. Also, how did you manage to get a custom ROM for the Moto Edge 2022? I was looking for custom ROMs and found nothing. I read that nobody really has that phone so the support is lacking.

      Don’t hold back from getting a good deal on the Pixel 7 because of the fingerprint scanner issue. It has been resolved with a software update since then. I have a Pixel 7 and the fingerprint scanner works just fine regardless of lighting conditions.

        Doesn’t work in the dark… or any low light conditions. It’s not really a good implementation

          I have a Pixel 7 and it works in the dark just fine. I feel like @techgearwhips might have gotten a defective phone.

          Edit: After a quick search it appears that Google fixed it with a software update.
