GrapheneOS releases
Official releases of GrapheneOS, a security and privacy focused mobile OS with Android app compatibility.GrapheneOS
If you want to be honest about this thing then disclose the source origins (and no, there is no need to list individual donors) and move outside of Google™ spyware phones.
Until that happens, those are valid concerns for anyone to be aware.
@ba5115c37b0f911e530ed6c487ccbd9b737da33fd4b88a9f590860378c06af62 @8ef009e94757a5025b30917edc324e36d1f439423836902fc552423dc234d9ee @emory Pixels are the only currently available devices providing the hardware-based security features and updates required by GrapheneOS. They're by far the most externally reviewed devices. Which devices do you think would be better?
We've been actively working with one of the largest 10 Android OEMs since June 2025 towards future devices supporting GrapheneOS.
Come on. You continue to try playing people here for fools.
In case you truly believe what you have just written, it is even worse.
There are legal mechanisms to get that information and they ain't exactly worried about getting without legal support either.
In which planet would iPhone ever be a candidate hardware for privacy?
This is definitively sus 🤔
@ba5115c37b0f911e530ed6c487ccbd9b737da33fd4b88a9f590860378c06af62 @8ef009e94757a5025b30917edc324e36d1f439423836902fc552423dc234d9ee @emory You've yet to be specific about which devices you think would be a better choice than Pixels.
iPhones are the only smartphones with a comparable level of hardware-based security to Pixels. We couldn't use them even if they did allow installing another OS because they don't provide the right variants of what we need, but they do have good hardware security.
Like Monero?
You should stop using open source software the
You should never trust monero nor any other piece of technology as rule of principle.
Around here you just see me recommending monero because it is an upgrade for the dumbasses around here still stuck on fedcoins. They'll never understand that many other options exist and are quite good.
Monero itself has quite the history of scams, double-crossings and exploits. Just read it up by yourself. The only reason it can be trusted today is exactly because nobody trusted the developers and the code base was small enough to be verified.
By comparison, the code base here is huge and their project is fairly irrelevant on the greater scheme of things.
@ba5115c37b0f911e530ed6c487ccbd9b737da33fd4b88a9f590860378c06af62 @8ef009e94757a5025b30917edc324e36d1f439423836902fc552423dc234d9ee @emory Advancing the state of the art of protection against memory corruption and privacy/security areas has substantial value beyond GrapheneOS.
Secureblue (based on Fedora Atomic Desktops) and Rocky Linux from CIQ - Hardened (RLC-H) use our hardened_malloc allocator. Secureblue also uses our Vanadium hardening work for Chromium.
We upstreamed a fair bit too.
Right.
So what you are saying is that you like Monero but not Graphene but cannot verify either.
GrapheneOS Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to frequently asked questions about GrapheneOS.GrapheneOS
Monero isn't forcing anyone to run on exotic ASIC nor dubious GPUs that even the chinese nowadays refuse to use.
Monero has been routinely verified on the key parts by different groups that don't trust the monero developers. No such thing happened with that dubious distro.
@ba5115c37b0f911e530ed6c487ccbd9b737da33fd4b88a9f590860378c06af62 @8ef009e94757a5025b30917edc324e36d1f439423836902fc552423dc234d9ee @emory We have a major Android OEM as a partner since June 2025. We're working with them towards a subset of their future devices meeting our requirements and providing official GrapheneOS support.
Contrary to your claims, there are people verifying GrapheneOS builds are reproducible and people reviewing all of our code, which is not a massive amount of code.
I'm really unclear on what you want them to disclose. They state they receive only individual donations. If that is false, they are lying but you have no way to demonstrate it. If it is true then there is literally nothing more they can disclose without doxxing people who fund them. Plus it still would not prove they hadn't received non-disclosed funding.
You are basically asking them to somehow prove something there is no way to prove. You can't prove a negative. Even if they did doxx those of us who contribute (I am one of them), how could you prove that none of those people are acting as conduits for a government? You can't, it's unable to be disproven.
On the point of using Google hardware, the project has repeatedly explained why they only support Pixel phones, and it is a good reason. No one has managed to find another phone that meets the security requirements of this project, and no one has found any evidence that Pixel phones without Google Android are in any way compromising user security or privacy beyond what a cell network already knows about them.
And finally, they have disclosed that they are working on developing secure hardware. Reality is that that is not a simple process (I worked for Amazon and saw the mess that the Fire Phone development was), so I'm not going to hold my breath. But it is on their todo list.
Brito,
As an objective observer, it's clear to me that you're not arguing in good faith or with good intentions.
I challenge you to name a more legit (or even close) mobile OS than GrapheneOS and/or point out the specific lines of GrapheneOS code that warrant concern.
I used to think the "attacks" on GrapheneOS and its developers were overstated, but after seeing this and many other FUD attempts, it's clear that they're not.
The whole point of open source is that you "don't trust, verify." So, verify your claims by providing the lines of code or STFU.
If Satan himself was donating XMR to GrapheneOS, what difference would it make? Hashes are unforgable, period.
The GrapheneOS crew are legends. They're doing a great service for humanity for modest financial compensation.
You, in comparison, are either an inferior programmer and spiteful gamma, or you're a "fed." Pathetic, comtemptible, or both.
I've made two remarks:
1) endorsing spyware hardware exclusively
2) non-transparent income sources
On both cases we are told "just trust", in no occasion I've made remarks about the code as a point to clarify. When someone says "check the code", everyone here knows it wouldn't be realistic to review +16 million lines of code. What we can realistically verify are the income sources and ask for moving away of compromised hardware.
Your opinion is just that: an opinion.
Facts are an entirely different matter.
Being public about income sources and supporting another hardware isn't difficult but it is dreadfully suspicious when they keep finding "reasons" to avoid it.
Will be happy when both situations are solved, and so should you.
I also saw the flaw in my argument, but the point still stands. With modern AI tools, scanning a full codebase for problematic code is not a herculean task.
Auditing the sources of funding (and the soutces behind those sources and their intentions) is not a feasible task. Even with the best financial audit humanly possible, there will still be more questions and opportunities to raise suspicions. It would also be inappropriate and poor form to publicly air all of the necessary personal information of the generous individuals that make GrapheneOS possible financially.
The level of effort required would exceed the total programming and management effort of the entire GrapheneOS team. Yet, you demand that they do this, or accuse them of vague impropriety.
Even if iit were done, it would likely just provide more opportunities for gammas to bite at the ankles of the GrapheneOS teatrYou're intelligent enough to see the flaw in my argument and to write a somewhat intelligent response, but you can't see the flaws in your own arguments?
Regarding hardware, it's been addressed ad nauseum by GraphemeOS. Perhaps you don't understand the nuances of security at that level of the technology stack.
I'm not going to repeat the explanations because it would be (extremely) redundant and a waste of effort because I'm still convinced that you're not arguing in good faith.
I'm now even more convinced that you're a gamma. Likely part of a competing "tribe" and therefore far inferior to the GrapheneOS team. A deep, burning inferiority that compells you to thow shade at the superior crew.
You make weak, pointless arguments and infeasible demands. It's blatantly obvious that you're not driven by a passion for security, but rather a desire to bring down a team that makes you look smaller than you already were.
If you truly cared about security, you should be able to find some lines of code that warrant concern. Since that's not the case, heres a much easier challenge:
Name the make and model of a single mobile device that meets the GrapheneOS security standards that isn't a modern Pixel.
-----
What's my motivation here?
I see this shit in open software all the time, and it's extremely disappointing.. You should be applying whatever talent you have to supporting the GrapheneOS project, for the benefit of humanity, but instead you waste it on harassing them.
Fucking gammas. Pathetic.
Recognize it. Then correct it. It's not easy, but it is possible.
TL:DR.
Auditing the income sources isn't difficult, they already do it every year. Just missing to publish like other projects do.
You insist in wanting to audit the source code, it is a pointless to audit source code running on compromissed hardware which has already beein pointed by numerous other experts including myself.
Last but not least: you insist on personal attacks. Very sus.
lol, there is a huge mountain of cyber experts calling that device as spyware: techradar.com/phones/are-the-n… since years.
You will surely play the "naive" card again but Pixel was never a trusted device from the beginning and this is undeniable. It was consistently exposed as untrusted with the stock firmware from the cyber community. You somehow hope in "good faith" that they haven't took the opportunity to include spyware inside the device hardware too. Yeah, right.
This is fresh 😂👌
I read the article. It's not surprising to learn that Google Play Services is data raping the users of OEM Android.
I didn't see a single word related to hardware or firmware. ALL mobile firmware has blobs. The challenge is to engineer software that mitigates this to the fullest extent possible.
Modern mobile devices are a privacy nightmare. That's the whole point of GrapheneOS - to minimize this fact to the fullest extent possible.
You claim to be a security expert, and then you present this article as evidence that the Pixel 9 hardware or firmware is compromised?
I challenge you to provide a single example where a Pixel 9 with GrapheneOS is less secure or less private than ANY other mobile hardware/software manufactured within the last decade.
I already know you can't do it, but go ahead and post another tech journalist clickbait slop article - I find them interesting. However, I'd prefer something with more substance, like a proper research paper or journal article.
What device, OS, and software are you using that provides more security and privacy?
What even is your argument at this point? That modern silicon has firmware blobs and therefore Pixels and GrapheneOS are inferior to an alternative that you refuse to identify?
You should have logged off after getting checkmated. Do you not have any shame?
Don't be naive, plenty of other projects know how to do this.
Somehow you find it difficult to ask an accountant to prepare a report. Curious. 👍
So first you claim it to be misinformation even though the news were confirmed by several experts.
After you claim it is misinformation, now you claim iOS has "1:1", meaning that they spy the same.
Just use any other phone except Google spyware, that ain't hard.
Techverge isn't cybernews and they literally call it spyware too: theverge.com/2024/8/15/2422115…
@GrapheneOS you aren't dumb, so why do you insist on such sloppy approach?
I can forgive @1807a49c for being naive and expect the manufacturer or governments to admit they bug hardware but you aren't exactly entitled to play dumb too and pretend they don't.
I'll publicly do a bet that in 12 months from now you will still not have released a device to market (non-google) with a price below 1000 USD.
Because that's the pattern. Keep feeding them hopes, like a carrot. They'll believe there is a better way and you'll keep luring them to then release something (alternative) that at the same time is unreachable.
We both know that. I'm just recording it here today as future memory.
Enjoy the spoiler.
Google Pixel phones sold with security vulnerability, report finds
The software was discovered after the cybersecurity company iVerify flagged an insecure phone at Palantir Technologies.Gaby Del Valle (The Verge)

Palantir exists to help build a police state.

GrapheneOS has neither applied for or received any money from governments. The same goes for other forms of grants. GrapheneOS has not received funding via grants with conditions, only no strings attached donations.
It is terribly suspicious that you are asking me to name a list of all donors. First because that wasn't what was asked, what I've asked was for a list of entities donating you money and not the individuals.
Second because you find plenty of open source projects doing the same and it is suspicious that you are not "aware" of them. Fine, here is one from Firefox which is one of the oldest open source projects on the market. I hope you have heard before about them: mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/a…
Third, even your friends at Signal had no issues publishing the accounting statements to public and I'd say they were in the business of privacy too. Example: projects.propublica.org/nonpro…
Too bad that even that was a lie, soon after they were forced to admit being financed by the CIA since years: kitklarenberg.com/p/signal-fac…
So, yeah. There you have a couple of good examples to get started.

Now make a new excuse for this university too: link.springer.com/chapter/10.1…
"We investigate what data iOS on an iPhone shares with Apple and what data Google Android on a Pixel phone shares with Google. We find that even when minimally configured and the handset is idle both iOS and Google Android share data with Apple/Google on average every 4.5 mins. The phone IMEI, hardware serial number, SIM serial number and IMSI, handset phone number etc. are shared with Apple and Google. Both iOS and Google Android transmit telemetry, despite the user explicitly opting out of this. When a SIM is inserted both iOS and Google Android send details to Apple/Google. iOS sends the MAC addresses of nearby devices, e.g. other handsets and the home gateway, to Apple together with their GPS location. Users have no opt out from this and currently there are few, if any, realistic options for preventing this data sharing."

Fantastic, so you already admit more than 12 months and possibly 24 months of hope carrots.
Don't worry, nobody is reading these posts so your audience (e.g. bitcoin cultists) will continue to believe you are really going to support some other hardware at affordable prices (some day). 👍
Brita,
You've been exposed as a malicious actor beyond any reasonable doubt.
Now you're obviously just trying to push peoples buttons.
I'm genuinely curious: Do you act this way instinctively, like a psycho BPD ex-girlfriend?
I can understand how a broken female could act this way, but you're a dude, right?
Does this sound familiar:
"Gammas aren't just a pain to others, they live in a constant state of self-inflicted torture.
Gammas never understand why they are so intrinsically hateful, or that their never-ending internal monologues are observable and generally transparent to others"
I genuinely feel sorry for you and I'm curious about your psychology.
Read this. I have a feeling it will resonate (I promise it's more insightful than cyberhacker news, or whatever that bullshit you linked to was):
This world is quite big and some people have been here for quite a while. That experience and knowledge on some topics is just different. You are not wrong, with what you know you are making good enough remarks.
That project will eventually be exposed just like signal, matrix, meshtastic and a few others have been. The conversation where you participated was spoiler a few years ahead of that future for the very few people reading that conversation. At that time some other project will be there to rekindle (again) some false hope.
I am optmistic about real privacy in modern times and publish quite effort on the topic, so that others can have verifiable privacy too.
On the other hand my dear counterpart, you have quite a few suspicious hardware decisions on your belt and already got exposed endorsing government developed tools like Tor.
There isn't a particular reason for me to call out the obvious attack vectors of using compromised hardware.
