For those who use GrapheneOS, is it worth it? Do you like it?

My backups are done, all that is left is the final choice to wipe my whole phone.

    Yes, completely unproblematic. Using it on Pixel tablet and 7a, old devices are on Lineage OS.

      If you have older Pixel, Fairphone, (some) Motorola, Shift or Braxtech, iodeOS is better because you can lock the bootloader and the installation is as easy as with GrapheneOS.

        I prefer GOS due to better privacy and security, and buy my hardware for OS compatibility.

        Bugger, I wish I knew this option existed before I replaced my 4a with my current 7a. I daily drove it with LineageOS once support ended from GrapheneOS but it was rather buggy and at some points, unstable.

        The 7a isn’t bad at all, and it’s been quite reliable especially with GrapheneOS. But I do severely miss the back fingerprint sensor, the corner camera instead of the centre one and the headphone jack.

        Oh well, hopefully by the time this 7a dies (because I will drive this thing into the ground, then replace the battery and go again) the Motorola options will be available and viable. And this 7a would finally become my second phone, probably for work.
