It’s literally a covert project funded by google to both sell pixels and harvest data of “privooocy” minded users. It seems to be working well.
Is it actually funded by Google? Citation needed.
I would assume Graphene users make up a statistically insignificant number of Pixel buyers, and most of the users of it I’ve met opt to use it without any Google services.
Which lines of its libre software source code are malicious?
Doesn’t it have binary blobs? That is reason enough to be suspicious, if you weren’t already skeptic of it due to its need for GOOGLE pixels.
So, what should we use?
If you’re ready to break free of Android, I would recommend https://postmarketos.org/ though it only works well on a small (but growing!) number of devices.
imho if you want to (or must) run Android and have (or don’t mind getting) a Pixel, Graphene is an OK choice, but CalyxOS is good too and runs on a few more devices.
