GrapheneOS saved my life

Dear Devs, Dear Community

First of all Graphene OS saved my life and this is no joke, i was an IPhone user and was targeted by a state backed APT group and different GOV Institutions in my country at the same time. I life in the heart of EU by the way.
I got group stalked multiple times, everything i was doing was tampered with to drive me crazy. Switching to your ROM was the only way to get rid of my daily stalkers. I don't know how to thank you, tears are dropping down my face as i write this. In this time my physical and mental health went down to almost dying. I almost got bankrupt. My private home was intruded multiple times and my food was drugged. I lost all my friends and my family. I work as an Linux Admin in a scientific context for an university. Somehow i got knowledge of different things i should not know and i was stupid and naive at the same time talking about it with the wrong Persons. I can not tell you more detail about what happened but my life was on the edge.
I write this here to thank you all and especially the dev's of this Project that you give everybody the Possibility to life without being tracked every step. There will be a bigger donation as soon i have money again.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR WORK, PLEASE NEVER GIVE UP ON THIS PROJECT, YOU SAVED MY LIFE

** I also have a small feature request, or maybe this feature is already build in but i missed it.

it would be really nice to always go into lockdown mode when my phone locks, (my bank app forces me to use a fingerprint), it would be great to have an option to always go to lockdown mode and forced to enter a password even after the fingerprint.

There is a setting to allow you to only use your fingerprint for authenticating with apps, and never for unlocking the screen. You'll find that setting in fingerprint settings.

We are also working on a feature that will add a second factor to secondary unlock by way of a PIN, so you could have a long passphrase as your primary lock method with a fingerprint + PIN combo as secondary unlock method.

Hey,

Great to hear this.

I use minimal tech and also grapheneos and it has a lot of advantages in my case. I also have a harassment case , here in West Europe. Although the harassment with spy games, and mindfuckery and drugging happened to me in several European countries and a non European one. (They are all conditioned and they murder people with drugs , or drugs, or they fuck with the minds to cause accidents I.e. on the road). Its combined with slander, mockery and other deceit and lies. The ones doing it won't ever speak out because they fear to receive this treatment from their "friends".

It seems like a global thing and it can really be incapacitating. Its been ongoing for 10+ years but I'm still here. I tried many things but grapheneos helped me too. But the os was not enough. I had to reduce my online behavior to stop the cyberbullying part that comes with it. They stop at nothing, these people are terrorists who call the police on you , dig in your trash, tamper with everything including hacking devices, hire neighbors to collect info on you , they are probably told you are the bad guy. This was my case.. Its all lies and the only way to make it stop is to wear them out, giving them no information. This worked for me

Not just installing graphene, but using the internet just when needed, no additional apps. I only use the phone once a day for messaging , and switch it off again, running graphene as a base.

I noticed some of the stalking behavior I had in the past , they all seemed to get their info over their google connected smartphones.

The moment I went offline it became much less. I don't know of they are just following the cell networks or if the devices of these "conditioned" people have been compromised.

This is my story, so you have something similar going on?

Take care of you safety. They already operated before the mobile phone era, but it really lifted off (for me) after 2011 when everyone started to have Samsung Galaxy phones being connected all the time.

Not sure if these people are paid or if they are just deeper in the mindfuck system, in fear, and unable to get out.

Happy to see I am not the only one

I would like to ask that we keep things here related to GrapheneOS and not delve to deeply into other topics. There was a clear question posed in this thread which has been answered appropriately.

As such, I will be locking this thread.
