I used to be active in the Android modding community several years ago. I was always rooting, flashing ROMs, kernels etc. Those days are long over. These days I enjoy stock Android on a Pixel 9 Pro but I might take this for a spin out of curiosity. You've piqued my interest. 😉 Thanks for the info.

Liron, I’ve been waiting for this from you. Hope to see more about GrapheneOS and maintaining privacy/anonymity, such as multiple profiles. Keep up the good work.

[John_Fugazzi]

It's about time something like this became available. People are tired of the endless data collection and telemetry. I hope it catches on.

I am now more than sold on the Pixel Phone + Graphene OS. Also, I just watched your video on CAPE and checked out their website. I really want this combination!
Having a handheld computer with a locked down CIA level cell phone service on board = No Brainer!
Thanks Liron!

[Legomanfred]

I've been wanting to do this for some time. Thanks for this comprehensive explanation. 👍

🙋🏾‍♂️ I want Google off my phone and computer completely.

[OlettaLiano]

Well, I don't have a phone so I'll catch your next video. Cheers!

A couple of questions for those who need to use B.Y.O.Devices.
1. Does Intune Company Portal work with GrapheneOS?
2. If so does it allow different companies in different profiles?
(If it does, it would certainly have a use case beyond the privacy aspect.)

Another profit of that OS, is battery. When you don't use Google services, your battery save will stay much longer

Wish this worked on other Android phones.

Hi excellent video.
I have used grapheneOS for several years, however we moved to a poor signal area, so I'm reliant on wifi calling. I tried to find if this was possible within graphene, and couldn't find a way to do it. Do you know if this has changed in the last couple of years?

Welcome to my world! My Pixel 6a has been running GrapheneOS since it was brand new (I never even logged it into Google when I bought it). Still works great!

[lyfandeth]

Liron, you're going to make me buy a new phone. Where did you say to send the bill?😊

[ejdavis]

You can also disable and uninstall G-apps with Android-debloater and keep your location and bluetooth off when not in use.

[krazmokramer]

I would be interested to know if/when this might be available for Samsung devices.

[svenlima]

How safe is Aurora Store? Downloading financial apps like e-banking etc. from a not-original source could be dangerous. Or can't it?

[Digi-Dummies]

How do the incoming and outgoing calls and texts work in grapheneos when I choose to work with different profiles? I have both a regular sim card and an esim, do I have to add it in each profile, or can this be controlled from the main profile?

[buckeyered]

Thanks for the video Liron, is there anything us Samsung users can do? I really want something like this because it seems simple enough.

[fastamxbox]

Great tutorial..!
Do you have one on backing up your phone before you wipe it clean..?

[bjdavis]

Excellent info, Liron! Makes me wish I had a Pixel phone!!
