  • Install GrapheneOS (consider this device as insecure as Google dropped support) and some minimalist launcher such as Olauncher, Unlauncher or mLauncher through Droid-ify (or another F-Droid client of your choice) or directly from source. You can also install digital wellbeing apps such as Mindful, DigiPaws, GreaseMilkyWay or Regain (that last one is proprietary and is available on PlayStore (or AuroraStore)) to help you have better control over app such as YouTube.

    For YouTube you can also install some FOSS client such as NewPipe, Tubular or PipePipe etc…








  • Only non-carrier-locked Google Pixel phones. They have been talking about potential partnership with other OEM but it’s not easy with Google ToS for Android OEM manufacturer to support other OS officially. Also they have paranoid-level security model and beside a few company like Google, Apple and maybe Samsung few devices would meet their requierments… And you know, Samsung introduced Knox to prevent their users to flash other firmware or mod their hardware and the other one, Apple, is the company that killed the FOSS Cydia Store…





  • GrapheneOS will continue supporting the current devices we support until their end-of-life dates. We’ll also add support for new Pixels as long as they meet our requirements. We’ve tried to make that clear, but recent posts about changes to AOSP have been widely misrepresented. Prior to Android 16, Pixels had first class support in the Android Open Source Project as the official reference devices. This was never one of our requirements and no other device provides it.

    From my understanding yes but maybe not in this thread
