What Is GrapheneOS?
2021 09 14 14 20

GrapheneOS is an open-source, purchaser grade portable OS that depends on the Android Open-Source Project, or AOSP. It's one of the numerous custom ROMs that are based on that undertaking. Be that as it may, in contrast to those custom ROMs, this one gives solidified protection and security. It carries with it critical upgrades to innovations like application sandboxing, takes advantage of counteraction, and the consent model.

This generally new versatile OS was created by Daniel Micay, who was likewise the fellow benefactor of CopperheadOS, another protection and security-centered OS. At the point when it was established in late 2014, GrapheneOS was known as the Android Hardening Project. Notwithstanding, in 2019, Micay and his group chose to rebrand to all the more likely reflect how the venture has advanced and extended.

How Is GrapheneOS Different from Android?

In spite of the fact that GrapheneOS depends on Android, the two are as yet not the same as each other. One significant contrast is that GrapheneOS is totally de-Googled. That implies no Google Play Store, no Google Chrome, no Google Maps, and the wide range of various applications and administrations that Google offers. You may ask for what reason would an OS totally leave Google out when bunches of individuals depend on its administrations. All things considered, this is all important for the task's endeavors to offer its clients the most vigorous protection and security conceivable; adding Google and its meddlesome eyes into the situation would upset them from accomplishing that. Basically, no Google implies no following, which eventually implies more protection and security.

Another remarkable distinction is the absence of a default application store. At the point when you first open a GrapheneOS telephone, it'll just have a couple of default applications. These incorporate an informing application, a camera application, and Vanadium, which is the OS's own Chromium-based program. In any case, you can without much of a stretch grow your determination of applications by downloading the F-Droid APK from f-droid.org and downloading the applications you need there. Presently, do remember that GrapheneOS doesn't have Google Play Services, so applications that need Google Play Services to run probably won't work as expected on a GrapheneOS telephone.

What Devices Support GrapheneOS?
Incidentally, the main product offering that GrapheneOS has support for is Google Pixel. That is on the grounds that Pixel telephones have further developed security highlights than most gadgets.
The full (and extremely short) rundown of GrapheneOS-upheld gadgets is as per the following:

  • Pixel 5 (redfin);
  • Pixel 4a 5G (bramble) and 4a (sunfish);
  • Pixel 4 (flame) and 4 XL (coral);
  • Pixel 3a (sargo) and 3a XL (bonito);
  • Pixel 3 (blueline) and 3 XL (crosshatch).

Among these upheld gadgets, the engineers suggest Pixel 5, Pixel 4a 5G, and Pixel 4a the most. That is generally in light of the fact that they're the most up to date delivers, which means they're outfitted with better equipment, firmware, and programming security. These models likewise possess the longest future help energy for GrapheneOS.

How Do You Install GrapheneOS on Your Phone?
The most broadly utilized technique for introducing GrapheneOS is by utilizing the WebUSB-based installer. The means might appear to be overpowering from the beginning, yet they're genuinely simple to follow. With time and a bit of persistence, you can undoubtedly introduce this OS to your telephone, regardless of whether you don't have a lot of tech expertise.

To start with, how about we go through the rundown of things you'll have to introduce GrapheneOS:

A supported phone that’s also unlocked–meaning it isn’t tied to a specific carrier, like Verizon or AT&T.

Something like 2 GB of free memory and 8 GB of free extra room on your telephone.

A PC or work station.

An excellent USB-C link. It would be better on the off chance that you utilize the one that accompanied your Pixel telephone. You can likewise utilize an excellent USB-C to USB-A link if your PC doesn't have a USB-C port.

The most recent arrival of GrapheneOS for your gadget. You can download either a steady or beta delivery from the GrapheneOS site.

Setting up Your Devices for Installation.

The principal thing you need to observe is that introducing the new OS will eradicate the entirety of your telephone's records. Thus, prior to continuing, try to back up the entirety of your telephone's information first.

Also, ensure that your telephone and your PC are both refreshed to their most recent OS. That is on the grounds that GrapheneOS isn't upheld on more established programming. Here are the working frameworks that GrapheneOS upholds:
  • Google Android on upheld gadgets (for example, select Google Pixel telephones);
  • Windows 10;
  • macOS Big Sur;
  • Curve Linux;
  • Debian 10 (buster);
  • Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.10;
  • ChromeOS;
  • GrapheneOS.
Ensure that your program is additionally refreshed. Here are the programs that are formally GrapheneOS-upheld:
  • GrapheneOS's Vanadium;
  • Chromium (besides on Ubuntu);
  • Bromite;
  • Google Chrome;
  • Microsoft Edge.

Then, try not to utilize dongles or USB centers while associating your telephone to your PC or PC, as these are the most well-known reasons for establishment disappointments. All things considered, interface the link straightforwardly to a work area's back port or to any of your PC's USB ports.

Finally, don't utilize Incognito or private perusing mode, as this will restrict the web installer's extra room while separating the delivery you downloaded.

Installing GrapheneOS.

Now that you have everything you need, it’s time to start with the actual installation process. We’ve summarized the steps for you below, but check out the complete installation guide as well for the full details and commands.
1. Enable OEM unlocking on your phone.
To enable OEM unlocking, you need to enable the developer options menu first. Go to your phone’s Settings, then select About phone, and rapidly tap on the build number until you see a pop-up message saying, “You are now a developer.” After that, go to Settings again, proceed to System, and select Advanced. Tap on Developer options, then toggle OEM unlocking.
2. Boot your phone into the bootloader interface.
You can do this by rebooting your phone and holding the volume down button until the bootloader interface appears.
3. Connect your phone to your computer.
Using a USB-C cable, connect your phone to your computer. If you’re using Windows, you might need to install a driver for fastboot, a program that facilitates communication between your computer and your Android phone.
To know if you need to install a driver for fastboot, go to Settings, click on Windows Update, and select “Check for updates.” If you see any driver updates, download and install them. Otherwise, you can proceed with the installation.
4. Unlock the bootloader.
Unlocking the bootloader allows for the “flashing” of the OS and firmware, which is another term for overwriting all of the data on your phone. This is why you should back up your files before going through with the installation.
5. Download the GrapheneOS factory images.
You can obtain the factory images by visiting the GrapheneOS website and clicking on “Download release.”
6. Flash the factory images.
This step begins the initial installation process and erases all existing data. You don’t need to do much during this step, as the flashing process does everything automatically. Just wait for the process to finish and avoid interacting with your phone until then. You’ll know it’s done when the last command line on your computer says, “Press any key to exit.”
7. Relock the bootloader.
Just as you unlocked the bootloader, you now have to relock it, as this fully verifies the boot. After that, confirm the command by using the volume buttons to select “Accept” and by pressing the power button to confirm.
8. Boot GrapheneOS.
Once you’ve locked the bootloader, you’re pretty much done with the installation. You can now boot your new OS by pressing the power button to select “Start” in the bootloader interface.
9. Disable OEM Unlocking.
Launch your phone’s Settings, then go to System and tap on Advanced. After that, select Developer Options, and toggle OEM unlocking off.
And that’s it! Your phone’s now fully equipped with GrapheneOS. If you’re having trouble installing the OS to your phone, you can ask for help through GrapheneOS’s official chat channel.


Advantages of Using GrapheneOS.

How about we investigate the key factors that make this OS truly outstanding, there is.

1. Upgraded Privacy and Security.
GrapheneOS is apparently the best versatile working framework as far as protection and security. It's even been embraced by a portion of the large names in the business, including Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and tech expert Edward Snowden, who has recently worked for the CIA and the NSA. All in all, exactly how private and secure is this portable OS?

Part of what makes it so private and secure is in the installation process. Remember how you have to relock the bootloader after flashing the system? This step ensures that your phone retains all of the security features that Android offers. As a result, you get a fully verified boot, which ensures that the OS’s code comes from a trusted source.

GrapheneOS also doesn't require you to create an account with them, unlike Google and Apple. Without a unique GrapheneOS account, your OS can’t identify you in a sea of GrapheneOS users, and it doesn’t have access to your device ID. Ultimately, this means you don’t have to compromise your privacy just by being on your phone.

On top of that, this OS also adds its own privacy and security enhancements to your phone. Some of these enhancements are stricter Security-Enhanced Linux (or SELinux) policies, a strengthened application sandbox, and a hardened memory allocator. The OS also has Vanadium, which is a more secure Chromium browser. Plus, it updates your phone’s software and security without needing remote access. Thus, malicious updates and other cyberattacks will find it much harder to make their way to your device.


2. Allows for More Customization.
Another benefit of using GrapheneOS is that it’s much more customizable than other OSes, which is also tied to its being more secure and private. With this OS, you don't get pre-installed apps that you can't ever remove—unlike Android phones, which already have Google apps (like Search, Calendar, YouTube, etc.) when you buy them. It’s through these bloatware apps that Google and other corporations track you to serve you targeted ads. So, on the privacy aspect, by removing all Google apps, GrapheneOS ensures that advertisers won't access your web activity. In terms of customizability, this means you can install just the apps that you need and remove any and all apps that you don't.
In addition, the OS gives you the option to revoke full network access of any app on your phone—a feature that neither Android nor iOS offers. By revoking an app’s full network access, you can limit its ability to track you and access your data.

3. Extended Battery Life.
Extended battery life is another advantage you get with GrapheneOS. Some users have reported that, with a fully charged phone, they can go three days up to a full week without needing to recharge. This is all thanks to the removal of all those Google bloatware apps. Without all of these apps running in the background and tracking you, your phone doesn’t use as much energy.

Final Thoughts.
GrapheneOS is the perfect mobile OS for you if you care about your privacy and security above everything else. With its many innovative privacy and security enhancements, you won’t have to worry about Google or advertisers tracking you ever again. And the great thing about it is that it doesn't complicate the user experience in any way; it pretty much works the same way as any other regular Android phone.
However, you will need to say goodbye to Google, which to a lot of users have come to mean convenience. But if that’s a price you’re willing to pay for privacy and security, then by all means switch over to GrapheneOS.

Great review.

Would you recommend using a NitroKey phone with GOS pre-installed?

Why would you recommend not to go for a Nitrophone?
KokosDreamsCan't see the value in their Nitrophone, looks just like a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS already installed. I think it is safer and cheaper to buy a normal Google Pixel and then install GrapheneOS yourself (it's very easy). No need to pay more than needed and additionally trust a third party that they don't compromise the phone.

Gotcha! That's what others told me too.
Seems like the best is to teach myself how to remove acceleration & rotation sensores aswell as the microphone.

Thanks bud

sorcererCorrect, any phones sold as privacy phones should be considered compromised. This is historically true. Just do it yourself!
