Hello guys. I recently acquired a Pixel 8A and it was Google stock os I bought it from a man locally all with cash I brought It home and I flashed grapheneos onto this phone.

What else needs to be done to anonymous this phone and make it a privacy phone and a spy free phone no tracking phone no interception phone and no monitored phone.

Any advice welcome!

Thanks.

    I agreed with you on your first line, but the rest of what you say is just horse shit. GrapheneOS is easily the most secure and private Android based OS that one can use. Whether or not you want to believe it is up to you. But the facts are there, from multiple security researchers to Edward Snowden embracing it, to CalyxOS being months late on Android security patches while GrapheneOS does it within a day, to LineageOS not allowing for a locked bootloader which decreases your security and prevents certain apps (banking apps) from running on it as a result, etc etc etc.

    Are the developers of GrapheneOS a bit poor mannered? Yes. Especially Daniel Micay, but he stepped down as the GrapheneOS lead over a year ago after Louis Rossman’s video came out calling out Daniel Micay. Think what you want about the developers but their product is simply the best there is and you are harming nobody but yourself by avoiding it. They don’t get anything out of you using their product as it is entirely free. It’s only you are missing out on the benefits of GrapheneOS.

    But to each their own.

        I’m upset that GrapheneOS does not follow OpenBSD: ignore people likes you and work on any feature they want. On the 90s, the NetBSD core team expelled Theo de Raadt and revoked his access on the code which others could. On 2020s, you, not any core of GrapheneOS, trying to expell Micay from GrapheneOS’s project leader role. Like what cia is doing to Viet Nam and China.

            Laugh on your “basic decency and criticism”.

            then such projects/forks should be abolished to the valley of death

            It seems these guys failed to abolish OpenBSD to death so they find an easier target: GrapheneOS. In fact, both project accept “inputs, basic decency and criticism”. OpenBSD have a friendly connection with FreeBSD. But the os is make for their developers, and they can ignore whatever wideopenbsd or isopenbsdsecure without having problem, they can have the user to read man pages without having problems. On the linux world drama is caused by having user to read faq themselves, and Micay failed to ignore the dramas.

            Same for any such individuals like Micay who believe in witch hunting, cultism and silencing people.

            Micay is just dumb when he stepped down for your pleasure.
