I Installed a Graphene-Based OS on Non-Pixel Phones… Here’s the Catch

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RjGjqBAAgQ

"I was watching youtube(Invidious) and notied RestlessOS . Have you heard of this and are there people actually tried this on non-pixel phone?

"RestlessOS is an unofficial, unaffiliated fork of GrapheneOS packaged as a Generic System Image (GSI) for Project Treble devices. It is not endorsed by, sponsored by, or in any way connected to the GrapheneOS project or its developers."

I'm very hesitant to give money to Google pixel so I'm going to experiment on this one."

@rocksolid interesting! Looking forward to an update once you've tested it

I have it installed on my S23 Ultra and everything works well except that I have to re-register fingerprints once I switched profiles or restart the phone. So, I am using private profile for now as I read somewhere that it's the GSI problem. The ROM itself is probably the best option to degoogle for general devices. Hardening & secure app spawn also works well on my devices.
