I Installed a Graphene-Based OS on Non-Pixel Phones… Here’s the Catch

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RjGjqBAAgQ

"I was watching youtube(Invidious) and notied RestlessOS . Have you heard of this and are there people actually tried this on non-pixel phone?

"RestlessOS is an unofficial, unaffiliated fork of GrapheneOS packaged as a Generic System Image (GSI) for Project Treble devices. It is not endorsed by, sponsored by, or in any way connected to the GrapheneOS project or its developers."

I'm very hesitant to give money to Google pixel so I'm going to experiment on this one."

Why are a multitude of poor options better than a few good options?

because you see it wrong. it is not poor just because it is not shiny polished perfect. it is still an improvement over the factory rom, and if the maintainer is trustworthy then it's an improvement over lineage os too.

How is one unknown maintainer of a project that adds nothing to the one it forked from, better than many well-known LineageOS maintainers?

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

it adds nothing? maybe it only adds wider compatibility to upstream, but it makes upstream's unique features available to owners of other phones than upstream's short device list
