Graphene OS has had just about enough of Google not doing more to make Android compatible with custom ROM projects.

TL;DR

  • Efforts like Graphene OS face increasing pressure from apps that refuse to run on non-standard Android.
  • The custom ROM project characterizes Google’s approach to device attestation as incomplete and flawed.
  • Graphene OS is prepared to take legal action if Google won’t let it pass Play Integrity checks.

    How does one flash a ROM without unlocking the bootloader these days?

    Shouldn’t that break Android Verified Boot?

    A pure GSI image could use a Google key, I suppose, but others shouldn’t, right?
