Does it support Graphene OS? permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] jnod4@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago (1 child) I think graphene os has to support them but it's a handshake so both parties need to make each other's life easier permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lemmysarius@feddit.org 8 points 1 year ago Neither is really the issue. The phones hardware has to support grapheneos. It requires certain hardware security chips and modules, that most devices don't have. Unless those are included its highly unlikely it will be supported by grapheneos. CalyxOS is an adequate alternative through and already supports current Fairphones. permalink fedilink source parent [–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 child) Graphene doesn't support anything but pixels. Even if fairphone put the special chip in that graphene requires, graphene would still have to build a version for it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Creat@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) They have a specific list of requirements on their site for supporting a device, mostly security hardware. Pixels just happen to be the only ones that meet that requirement right now. Others are supposedly coming though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago Yeah, but that isn't the device "supporting" graphene, the chip is a general security measure. And, again, for anyone that does add it, graphene still has to build for the devices. permalink fedilink source parent [–] gheesh@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago I can't comment on GrapheneOS, but please have a 3.5" jack. I chose the Fairphone 3 when 4 was already available because of this. I hate to have another battery to take care of, when on-ear wired headphones work so well. permalink fedilink source parent
