  • In Enhancing Waydroid on Linux: Integrating GrapheneOS Security

    raccoondad Mostly thinks like the 5 following: WebView and Vanadium, more users supported, sandboxed Google play and the better permission manager.

    • In Enhancing Waydroid on Linux: Integrating GrapheneOS Security

      What if we could boost Waydroid's security on Linux by integrating GrapheneOS? Waydroid enables Android execution on Linux through containerization, providing a secure, sandboxed environment.

      Consider implementing GrapheneOS, known for its robust security features, into Waydroid's containerized ROM. This could offer both Android Open Source Project (AOSP) security and additional GrapheneOS layers.

      By combining Waydroid's containerization with GrapheneOS's security architecture, we could create a fortified environment for running Android applications on Linux.

      These ideas in the context of using Waydroid on Linux smartphones, such as the Purism Librem 5. The convergence of Waydroid and GrapheneOS security could be particularly advantageous for users seeking a secure and seamless Android experience on their Linux-powered mobile devices.

      • In Receiving calls on one user when logged on another, unable to switch to answer.

        I recently moved my Google Play apps (specifically WhatsApp) to a separate user on GrapheneOS, and I've noticed a new issue. Usually, I receive a lot of voice and video calls from my family, and WhatsApp uses Phone access to ring. However, since moving the app to another user, my phone rings on the current user when I receive a call, but it doesn't allow me to switch to the user with WhatsApp to answer the call (the user options are greyed out). I have to either wait for the call to end or press the power button to decline it (strangely, this works across users). Only after the call has ended can I switch users and call them back myself.

      • In 8y security updates on FairPhone 5, will the devs consider porting GrapheneOS?
      • In 8y security updates on FairPhone 5, will the devs consider porting GrapheneOS?

        The recently unveiled Fairphone 5 generates interest due to its impressive 8-year security update plan. This extended software support duration prompts the question: Could GrapheneOS be adapted for this model?

        The Fairphone 5 boasts an exceptional 8-year software support pledge. This aligns seamlessly with GrapheneOS's dedication to long-term firmware and software maintenance. This congruence ensures prolonged access to security enhancements and fixes for users.

        The Fairphone 5's values strongly resonate with GrapheneOS's prerequisites, making it a potential candidate for compatibility. Its emphasis on durability, hardware security, continuous backing, and community involvement closely mirrors the goals of GrapheneOS.
