    Worth the wait. GrapheneOS is the sole vanguard of privacy and security in the mobile market right now. They should be supported, and other projects should take notes from them.

      Does graphene support root access yet? I’ve been wanting to try graphene but I know in the past that was either discouraged or impossible and unrooted android is way too frustrating to be worth any benefits

        The primary focus and benefit of GrapheneOS is security, and user>root privilege escalation completely undermines that securiy model. The project doesn’t and likely never will support root access for that reason.

        Everything I used to use root access for, I do without root access on GrapheneOS.

        And also, I can still take root anytime I want. I just don’t need to. Instead, I set per app permissions, including storage scopes for each app.

        If you’ve been waiting for root, check it out. I bet you’ll like what you find.

    And yet again hopiums were elevated and then crushed as I understood what I was reading.

    I thought they were making a small graphene phone.
