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.

      So it’s my choice to run them?

      If I can download an APK, I should be able to run it in a “compatibility mode” and have the OS do it’s best to run it.

        It can’t.

        A compatibility mode would involve meaningful cost, massively compromise security, and not have a chance in hell of working.
