Known GOS forks

madduck

Hello,

GOS makes an effort to be ultra-secure, and stays true to that by turning down pretty much any feature not within that scope. For instance, the devs have previously ruled out useful features such as being able to limit notifications when a certain app emits too many of them in a given period of time, or hooking the torch light to a long-press of the power button.

Do you guys know of forks that take GOS and make it more usable?

Thanks

stays true to that by turning down pretty much any feature not within that scope.

I just want to reaffirm that AIUI GrapheneOS is focused on usable privacy/security, so usability is explicitly in scope.

Modifications that do not contribute positively to security/privacy are in scope when appropriate. The reason toggles exist for things like secure application spawning and the hardened memory allocator is precisely because GrapheneOS understands the context of needing applications to be usable sometimes regardless of strong reasons why they are bad for security/privacy.

I realise the context of this thread is just general usability features applicable to any OS based on AOSP. I think ProtonAOSP (based on AOSP) was looking into things like convenience features but I am unsure whether that is still active.

Thanks Pacienco . Good to know that what the previous devs claimed ("out of scope") is not correct. Have you got a reference for me where this is written down?
