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."

This is such a wrong train of thought. I usually buy the latest pixel, and have never sold the old ones. Those end up as inheritance to a family member or friend that wants to get on the GOS train but can't afford it.

I'm hellbent on using grapheneOS for as long as it's available, and can't wait for the first Moto flagship to support GOS to be available.

Having said that, sounds like the only person financing my 'greatest and newest' Pixel addiction is myself.

In any case, if it takes paying Google to degoogle, I'll gladly pay Google. We'll see what happens once the Moto is added to the GOS list of supported devices.
