You want Privacy? Ditch Android & Apple and install GrapheneOS (in 8 minutes)

Do you realize that you have very little privacy if you use Android or iOS? You location information and a huge amount of your data is being sucked up by Google and others. If you want privacy, you want to replace Android with GrapheneOS.

Installing a custom ROM, man that brings back memories

[Candide]

Nice job explaining the step by step. You didn't skip steps or assume someone would already know something, which is a big help. Subscribed.

[dutchbachelor]

The one thing that surprised me most (I tried /e/OS, not Graphene) is how much longer the battery lasted when running a de-googled OS. Bizarre. And also chilling, as you can only imagine what kinds of stuff the phone is actually continously doing in the background that consumes all that power.

Also, my dear, sweet Apple Users: your phone might not call the mothership as often as as Google phones do, but they still do it a lot. You'd be surprised. Just like Apple is greenwashing their products, they are also privacywashing them. They hide your data from (some) parties but hoover up everything they can about you and share it with their own "buddies".

Changing to GrapheneOS was the best choice in my computing life. It is also amazing because just how clean it is, even compared to a stock Pixel.

[anweshbhattacharyya]

Actually I was writing a letter to India Govt about Smartphone OS & luckily I got your video ♥️🙏🇮🇳

[ALL_OUT_OF_BUBBLEGUM]

Very easy to understand.
What I was hoping for was an explanation HOW grapheneos improves your personal data, privacy, security, etc.

This would be a huge undertaking for most users (especially if it's on a used phone and there could be years worth of data to backup before resetting).

I would love to see some demonstrations on why graphene is a more secure system.

Can't imagine my YouTube feed without this man videos

[playfultones]

I have never done anything like this and your video was the only one that addressed a few steps not covered by others. debugging USB & microsoft updates. I went slow, re-listened to a few of the steps and Voila!!!! I did it. So grateful. Am off to review other videos that you've made. Thank YOU so much.

[napolitano_]

It's always a pleasant learning experience watching your videos. Thanks for all you do for the community.

[stahab]

Been using Graphene OS on my (purposedly bought for this OS) Pixel 6a since Christmas 2022 and have never looked back!
It's the best custom OS that gives you OEM reliability with great level of choice regarding compatibility vs privacy / security.

[notjustforhackers]

I used to do stuff like this, install private OS's, very selective over which services I used, what apps I installed.... I got a Faraday wallet, only used pay as you go sim cards, careful that I only used cash and never gave any info. Then I figured 'you know what I'm sick of this fight'... so I just got rid of my phone. Not owed one since 2016, don't miss it in the slightest.

I liked running Graphene is on my pixel 7, but when my screen failed while under warranty, they would not honor the warranty, because the Google tests that are used to verify proper repair would not run. Thankfully, the company that did the repair allowed me to flash the stock ROM so they could run the tests and they could then honor the warranty.

Not matter the you are subject to the network you are connected to....
For better privacy.... do NOT USE A MOBILE.

[william]

Thanks for this guide. I tried other OS downloads and there would always be a small little blip that forced me to restart. This was an absolutely dream to do.

[tiagoreis]

I am using Graphene OS for a year now and I love it!!! Bought a second hand pixel 4a 5G and used until now. Now I bought another second hand Pixel 6a (I always go with the a models because they are cheaper and since I do not care much about camera and storage for me is a win), because GrapheneOS support for this Pixel version will end on October this year. I still have another profile with apps that I need for my daily life that requires google services... Some bank apps are an example. Great content!!!!

[arsantiqua]

What's your take on the controversy between the Graphene main dev and Louis Rossman/Techlore on the other side? After all, if someone uses underhanded tactics against critics and competitors then how honest will that person be with his customers? Is that a red flag for you and if not, why? I was considering Graphene but the issue made me a bit uneasy as to whether or not to install it. Also: how fast is Graphene on security updates as it is a smaller company? After all there is a lot to consider when it comes to trusting a new OS.

[sambolimbo]

If you just want to see what Graphene OS looks like go to 7:04. You will need a Pixel phone to install according to the video. This is a very limited view of the OS. He has a more in-depth video that shows you how to get your apps loaded and/or installed.

[grodsney]

After unlocking the bootloader from fastboot, there was no need to setup the stock os again. When the bootloader is unlocked, you can start the installation, just as the installer prompts you to do.

as all ways your content is beyond greatness .sir if your next podcast is with OccupyTheWeb then please make a topic about pivoting like how a hacker can get access from one compromised device to another device it could be laptop, android, windows etc. And how we can be protected from it?
