    The problem is that GrapheneOS is only available for Pixel devices.

    I really wish they would support other manufacturers, because I don’t really trust Google to make decent hardware (and to be frank, I don’t trust them with anything at all).

      I use e/os which is at least de-googled & based on Lineage
      Its not exactly Graphene but it works on 8+ old devices of various manifacturers

        I am very keen to get a Fairphone with e/os next time I switch devices.

        Does it work well with Android Auto? I can’t drive much without a map and my music playlist.
