Oh that’s really cool!

It’s overwhelming to a lot, if we want to teach, we shouldn’t call them “lazy”, they simply don’t see the value in understanding or learning tech.

All apps work fine on grapheneos, besides above mentioned pay, some banking and auto.

Using sandboxed google play gmail and regular apps from play store work fine. :)

You can read more about sandboxed google play here. Here: https://grapheneos.org/features#sandboxed-google-play

I really recommend you read above link, it goes more in-depth.

Your first post, you claim that “so any zero day could be active right now” … This can happen with open source software too. Your phone is way more secure than the average PC running debian.

I agree 100% it’s upsetting how little people know about technology they use everyday. To many and you, installing a new OS is easy as breathing air, to the average person, it’s like learning to ride a bike for the first time. We have to slowly teach those, willing to listen and learn.

You can install on the devices that are listed here. https://grapheneos.org/faq#supported-devices

If your phone is secure with screenlock, kept up to date and uses grapheneos than your banking should be safe. Using grapheneOS auto reboot feature would prevent anybody accessing private data stored in RAM , as it’s all at rest after reboot

It’s harder for the average person. You have to know how to change device boot order in BIOS/UEFI, average person barely knows what an operating system is, let alone how to find their PC UEFI/BIOS setting menu to configure boot order. Grapheneos explains it clearly, how to install. You simply tap a few buttons on the browser and on the phone, when prompted.

That is correct they are

True true

Pixel only for now, yeah.

Here’s the list of officially supported pixels: https://grapheneos.org/faq#supported-devices

Permission toggles are are what things apps have access to, Grapheneos gives:

• Sensors permission (this is how your phone can use sensors to determine if you are walking, moving, how far your phone is away from your face)

• internet permission toggle (this allows you to control what apps can directly connect to the internet)

• Storage Scopes (You can control what files or directory any app that uses legacy storage permissions have access to instead of blank allowing all files access to the app)

• Contact Scopes (This allows, like Storage Scopes, for you to control what apps can access contacts and who’s contact the app can or can not see)

You can and should give https://grapheneos.org/features a read.

As for banking apps, depending on what they are, may work. Paypal and some others work.
