Graphene OS strikes again;
My phone wasn't compromised because I wasn't using Google's fk'd android.

He said he likes the fact that Graphene OS is open source and free.

He also said that he was unable to duplicate a photo editing flaw in Android, thanks to the Graphene OS.

iOS/Android Monopoly Is Awful

It's awful that Apple/Android have a de facto mobile monopoly/duopoly. It will be very hard for a 3rd choice to become popular, because it wouldn't have the installed app base of the two big players. Graphene runs Android apps. Does it also include Google Play store?

I Have Thought This For A Long Time

We really are screwed - your choice is Apple or Google. Pick one.

I keep hoping that someone will come up with an open source phone that works like Linux and can be installed on any hardware.

The problem at this point is the Apple and Google app stores. From what I know about Google you have to agree to have their telemetry and other stuff to be allowed to access their store. They will NEVER allow an alternate to access the store that they dont control.

The Chinese have their own OS's but who knows what that entails. I am sure that it involves massive govmt surveilance of everything you do.

your choice is Apple or Google or don't have a mobile phone at all. Pretty easy to survive with a landline only. Try it. Much better lifestyle.
