>Motorola is introducing a new era of smartphone security through a long‑term partnership with the GrapheneOS Foundation, the leading nonprofit in advanced mobile security and creators of a hardened, operating system based on the Android Open Source Project. Together, Motorola and the GrapheneOS Foundation will work to strengthen smartphone security and collaborate on future devices engineered with GrapheneOS compatibility.
>“We are thrilled to be partnering with Motorola to bring GrapheneOS’s industry‑leading privacy and security‑focused mobile operating system to their next-generation smartphone”, said a spokesperson at GrapheneOS. “This collaboration marks a significant milestone in expanding the reach of GrapheneOS, and we applaud Motorola for taking this meaningful step towards advancing mobile security.”
>By combining GrapheneOS’s pioneering engineering with Motorola’s decades of security expertise, real‑world user insights, and Lenovo’s ThinkShield solutions, the collaboration will advance a new generation of privacy and security technologies. In the coming months, Motorola and the GrapheneOS Foundation will continue to collaborate on joint research, software enhancements, and new security capabilities, with more details and solutions to roll out as the partnership evolves.

You can install any keyboard you like that includes swipe support (there are good Foss ones). AOSP doesn't update their apps anymore including the keyboard since every android distro replaces them with their own or Google's proprietary apps anyway, so they are heavily outdated. GrapheneOS will include a third party one in the future like heliboard or florisboard.
>>
>>108275789
Just go with a 9a then
>>108275851
Yeah I don't think any of the Gboard features have been backported to AOSP keyboard for like a decade, I would recommend using either Gboard with all permissions denied or FUTO keyboard.
>>
>>108275571
Thats what people were guessing. The other one some people were guessing was OnePlus, but I saw it as less likely since OnePlus is entirely Chinese while Motorola is still headquartered in America.
For GrapheneOS I think this is a good thing for them to finally get away from Google's hardware issues. Been using budget Motorola phones for years and never had any of the hardware issues people with Pixels report.

Its definitely NOT effective retroactively, the devs have been very clear that no devices on the market today support their hardware requirements.
>>108276423
Its still pretty unclear what exactly the collaboration is from the announcement.
Will Motorola be releasing a device compatible with grapheneOS? Will they be shipping a device with graphene preinstalled?
Will multiple devices be compatible?
I know from browsing their forums that they really prioritize having a flagship soc so there's a chance this whole thing is only for a high end phone.

There is literally no alternative. Anything US-made will be NSA backdoored. EU doesn't make any smartphones, and a first-time manufacturer is guaranteed to make something underpowered, overpriced and janky. Anything Korean (i.e. Samsung) is going to be both NSA and China backdoored at the same time.
I don't live in China so honestly a chink backdoor is the least worst option as far as I'm concerned. AND you don't have to pay money to google anymore.
>>
>>108276553
The obvious solution here is to use the Motorola phone as a daily driver since China has every incentive to not provide backdoor access to western governments, and keep a pixel for any travel to china.
I just bought a pixel 9a and I plan on keeping this as long as it works as my backup/travel device and I'll eventually switch to the GOS compatible moto phone for my daily use.

Looks like they will definitely be focusing on high end flagships (from 2027), hopefully some of the budget phones meet the criteria further down the road.

>Will Motorola be releasing a device compatible with grapheneOS?
They will, it's unclear if you can flash it yourself or is preinstalled only.
>Will they be shipping a device with graphene preinstalled?
Yes. They said it last year when they didn't announced which company they partnered with. You'll need to get the GrapheneOS edition to have it preinstalled. The regular edition will have the customisations of Motorola.
>Will multiple devices be compatible?
It's on a per device basis, same as Pixels.
>I know from browsing their forums that they really prioritize having a flagship soc so there's a chance this whole thing is only for a high end phone.
Very likely. Their self imposed hardware requirements are very strict, only high end will cover the costs.

That licence is literally illegal in the EU, and probably in many other jurisdictions.
The software provided does not have a warranty, yet they ask to buy a licence. I know that you can still use the software without buying one but the principle still stands.
It is illegal to not provide a warranty and support when selling products or licences.
To comply they must have two separate licences, they can keep this one and have a second one that they sell where they do offer warranty and support.

I don't know the specifics but they have explicitly clarified that the new devices announced today do not meet their requirements, but by 2027 they will. They also said they aren't lowering their requirements, so yes it's safe to assume by 2027 the SD SOC will support memory tagging.

I love when people say something isn't free but it is open-source. No you idiot, the open-source definition and 4 freedoms are the same as in what licenses qualify for them. The open-source definition is just the Debian free software guidelines renamed.
Source-available licenses are proprietary licenses since it doesn't give you freedom.

>>108278640
how does this affect me as somebody who uses this keyboard. the default on graphene sucks balls so i decided to give this futa a shot. why should i care if its source available instead of open source? it doesnt even have internet access
>>
>>108279060
Yeah this is the thing freetards don't understand.
As far as my phone keyboard goes I only care about it being free/open source/source available/whatever to verify it isn't siphoning my data away. I can appreciate the issues with the restrictive license but that's not enough of a reason for me to stop using it, especially when the next best FOSS alternative is significantly worse.
In fact I would sooner use gboard with denied network permission than florisboard.
>>
>>108278640
>Source-available licenses are proprietary licenses since it doesn't give you freedom.

The FUTO Source First licence is anti developer and anti external contributions.
Without developers and money (such as donations) you get no software.
Furthermore, this is actually a cuck licence (even more so than MIT). If you submit patches, fork the project, add new features, etc, you know, something that a normal developer would do, you still cannot make money off of it (as in asking for donations or paid versions), you cannot change the licence, the original developer (FUTO) gets to keep all the money and code ownership, and you can't remove the functionalities that allow payments to FUTO.

>>108279461
As a non-developer you benefit from being able to switch to a fork in case the original project goes bad or the fork is simply better. I use a lot of software that was originally forked from some older project.
This is maybe not a huge deal for keyboards because keyboards don't have much lock-in, you can just switch to a completely different keyboard and get used to it in a day or so. But it's still not irrelevant.
(Personally I dislike these licenses enough that I don't want to encourage them by using the software.)
>>

Yes. Well I don't remember the details but you do need to sign up for some kinda financial access and shit, give them your bank details. But you'd need to do the same for google too, the difference is you can install Curve on non-"official" builds of android like GOS.
I don't use any of that shit but if it's "non-negotiable" for you these are basically your only two options, I'm just telling you what reality is right now. Yes it's all shit unfortunately.
IIRC Apple's solution is unironically better because they don't get to track your every single transaction, but you still have to explicitly sign up your bank account with them just the same and of course it's also only on official iOS so just as locked down as Google Pay, just from a different vendor.

It looks like people asked this on twitter in response to the motorola announcement, and micay's answer is basically that Fairphone just resells a phone built by a chinese OEM, where they give desired specs but don't actually design the phone themselves and leave that up to the OEM. One tweet said something like "Fairphone's relationship with the ODM is similar to what our relationship with Motorola is".
So fairphone's phones are not just secure enough but they don't have enough control and input for GOS to even be able to meaningfully work with them to manufacture better phones.

Yeah every time fairphone is brought up they shit on them pretty hard. I can't really blame them though just from the little I've heard about it...

Making this mainstream is going to turn this GOS into the doge charger of phones, once a certain demographic figures out it's features they are all going to buy them. Mostly to cheat and spread seed if I was a betting man with how it handles multiple sims and workspaces.
>>
>>108281144
GrapheneOS mentioned somewhere that Motorola said some of those security features were things they were already looking into. Motorola also has a line of security focused phones with their ThinkPhone, which has a better update policy. Perhaps they want to lean more into that security angle.

IMO it's good marketing. GOS has been getting shilled a bit lately by the likes of Pewdiepie and other normie e-celebs. Generally tracking and privacy is entering the normie public consciousness more and more. Right now though GOS is a custom OS that you have to manually flash, granted it really is very easy, but a lot of people are genuinely scared of doing anything of the sort no matter what.
I think Motorola genuinely believes there's marketshare to be gained from catering to the privacy/security market by offering an officially supported, officially partnered and preinstalled GOS phone. Personally I think I would agree.

GrapheneOS requires a high end SoC for the hardware security features. So the models that will be supported won't be cheap. Motorola Signature 2027 will probably be the first supported phone and razr ultra will likely be next. Budget phones with mediatek or lower end Qualcomm SoCs will never be supported.

They should partner with RedMagic gaming phones from China. They are some of the most powerful phones out there for gaming, but they have a problem with slow OS updates and software bugs. If Graphene implemented an optional gaming control dashboard that controls processor, temp, fps, screen record for gaming highlights, they could probably make money from that from gaming phones to fund all the other privacy stuff.

The graphene schizo dev has repeatedly stated that they're fully open to supporting any device meeting their security requirements. The onus is entirely on RedMagic (or anyone else) to implement the required security features to allow graphene to be ported (like Motorola is doing now for example).

If Motorola start selling smartphones without Google's android slop I will buy one, it is Google playstores datamining spamware that they want to lock everyone in with is making me abandon android phones

Personally my most positive sentiment is that we have a confirmed alternative that's not literally google themselves. The single most common complaint I've seen people have about graphene is that you have to buy a google phone to be able to avoid google on your phone.
Otherwise my impression of motorola is that they make midrange shit that's pretty decent. It's not ad-ridden subsidised garbage like some of the ultra-chink brands like Redmi, it's not overpriced wannabe apple like Samsung, they have no particular scandals or egregious spyware incidents under their belt, and they have many years of experience making decent enough smartphones.

I'm in the same boat. I use contactless exclusively and it feels like ancient times when I have to reach for a wallet.
I switched to graphene last year after using samsungs for like +10 years, and kept samsung watch. I have googol wallet on that, works fine.

>Lenovo is Chinese, and China has laws for forcing companies to share data
As does the US
>US agencies don't use Lenovo products because of Chinese intelligence risks
Obviously, neither do Chinese agencies use US products if they can help it for the exact same reasons
>Motorola Droid phones were silently transmitting personal data (including email and social media passwords) to Motorola’s servers every 9 minutes (often unencrypted).
As do Google phones to Google, including the various times it came to light that changing privacy settings like location doesn't affect what Google actually receives
>privacy class action was filed alleging that Lenovo’s own website tracking technologies expose American behavioral data to Chinese entities.
As opposed to every single western company exposing everyone's behavioural data to American entities
In all of the above, the only point of note is Lenovo's Superfish rootkit, and the rest is bad faith.
>Google Pixels use the [...] a security chip...
>Motorola does NOT have this.
Obviously, which is why they're partnering with Graphene to produce new phones for this

Obviously, which is why they're partnering with Graphene to produce new phones for this.
These points are utterly retarded, I have no idea why he put these in even when trying to discredit Motorola; this is the entire POINT of the announcement (that they will make a compliant device in the future).

I assume he believes the lack of a hardware killswitch, like on Pixels, is a total solution then?

It's (mostly) his project, so he gets to call the shots. No one could possibly take it from him because they don't have any stake in it. Daniel probably doesn't believe he's mentally ill, which makes it way harder. Anyone left on the project is either a sycophant or just deals with it.

I wouldn't want this as it would make the camera worse, unless the thickness of the whole phone increased whilst increasing the battery size.

Which Motorola device meets these requirements from graphene devs? Isn't Motorola owned by Lenovo? Lenovo makes a gaming tablet too similar to the red magic, with sometimes even better specs. People who game on phones and tablets already buy a lot of aftermarket finger triggers/peltier water coolers, and plug in all sorts of capture cards to capture gaming footage for social media. Graphene already prides itself in complete control over the OS, which is not too far from controlling the processor speed and monitoring or disabling heat throttling restrictions that slow down the processor for those who use water coolers for gaming.
I feel like this is a missed opportunity by Graphene devs to fund all the other privacy stuff they desperately need funding for. All it would require is just letting power users have the ability to disable thermal throttling restrictions and some features that help phone/tablet gamers capture their screen into a usb capture card or some sort of software that allows people to screen record easily without lowering their fps.
The possibilities are endless. RedMagic has a bunch of neat features for their gaming dashboard like macros, etc. which are probably not good for online games, but perfect for emulators. There is a big market in the Lenovo y700 Gen 4 for emulators because it has an SD card slot and 2 usb ports which make it convenient for charging and for capturing their screen into another tablet or their computer for clips and highlights.
Hopefully Graphene devs can work something out with those nifty little Lenovo y700 Gen 4 tablets. The emulator community is pretty big and those Lenovo y700 tablets with sd card slots are perfect for it, the problem is that it only runs on a chinese OS with a chinese app store and doesn't have a wester/english rom with playstore and the likes.

2 usb ports to run the device off an electric outlet instead of battery for max performance, and another usb port for capturing video I meant to say.
If any Graphene devs are in this thread reading, a small little detour into the emulator/gaming phone/tablet community would bring GrapheneOS a lot of awareness on top of all the cool stuff they do for privacy. It can be a new generation of privacy conscious consumers brought to you by people looking for a gaming edge or people who just want to emulate stuff. Phone/tablet gamers are always looking for the best advantage because a lot of the competitive edge is people who have the most fps via their processor and aren't being throttled by a hot battery/processor.

Did you even read the topic of the OP?
>Isn't Motorola owned by Lenovo? Lenovo makes a gaming tablet too similar to the red magic, with sometimes even better specs.
The partnership is specifically with Motorola and not Lenovo, and there is no information about gaming tablets being included in the plans, and even if they were if would have no effect on the gaming tablets from another brand.
>I feel like this is a missed opportunity by Graphene devs to...
Did you even read my post? The Graphene devs, as far as anyone knows, are open to handling any device that supports the correct features. They have done nothing to reject or avoid those tablets you want. The onus is on RedMagic to meet the minimum requirements for Graphene to make support possible.

It is proprietary software. We can't because FUTO keyboard doesn't have reproducible binaries. This means that the source code in 100% unrelated to the binaries they share. Nobody can prove that the "source code" is actually real source code of the project. That is the whole point of the license. You are so fucking stupid. Same with Brave browser and other proprietary software without reproducible binaries. It is spyware black box and we can't know what it does. Source code is unrelated to the software because it is proprietary non-free spyware.

That's bad but it's also true for a lot of the libre software I use and they could fix it without changing the license
Upthread I managed to convince someone that the license was bad by pointing out that all users benefit from free forking but you're talking about all this other stuff that seems orthogonal to the license's actual problems
You're treating all proprietary software as bad in the exact same way rather than understanding the BSL and the early AT&T Unix licenses and "open-weight" neural networks and the Open Watcom license as each being bad in their own distinct way that doesn't fully overlap with the badness with the others

but will it have a headphone jack and removable battery?

>>

>>108292923
Actually maybe yes to the removable battery
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=OJ:C_202500214
>Article 11 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 is applicable from 18 February 2027 and contains obligations on the removability and replaceability of portable and LMT batteries that natural or legal persons who place products on the market incorporating them on the market must meet
>Article 11 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 states that a battery shall be considered readily removable by the end-user where it can be removed from a product with the use of commercially available tools, without requiring the use of specialised tools, unless provided free of charge with the product, proprietary tools, thermal energy, or solvents to disassemble the product.
>>
>>108292979
this isnt the same as old style removeable batteries. Its basically just saying that you shouldnt need some bullshit tools and simple screwdriver etc should be enough to get it removed
no guarantees of it working the same once putting it back either
>>
>>108293021
>Its basically just saying that you shouldnt need some bullshit tools and simple screwdriver etc should be enough to get it removed
I mean that's still pretty good isn't it? Sure you don't get quick swappable batteries back but this will largely resolve the main factor most people upgrade devices - their battery life has gone to shit and it isn't worth the replacement cost so they just get a new phone.
>no guarantees of it working the same once putting it back either
What could possibly be worsened by replacing a battery with a screwdriver?
>>
>>108292717
Only if Motorola has enough sway to convince google to whitelist Graphene's signing key, as far as I'm aware. Which they probably will really really not want to do given their general tend towards locking down android, while graphene will continue allowing unsigned app installs etc. for example.

>>108293263
I'm not sure if you're right, the document mentions both "portable" and "LMT" (light means of transport) batteries and has different clauses for each.
>The obligation in Article 11(1) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 on the removability and replaceability of portable batteries by the end user is applicable to entire batteries, and not to individual cells. The end user should be a person having attained the age of majority without any specific experience or related qualifications related to removing or replacing batteries.
>In the case of LMT batteries, the obligation in Article 11(5) concerning the removability and replaceability by independent professionals is, additionally, applicable at the level of the battery cells included in the battery. Section 3 of the present guidelines discusses the concept of independent professionals.
So for portable batteries they should be replaceable by anyone who is age 18 and up without having experience in taking apart electronics/batteries.
For LMT batteries it sounds like they don't need to be as friendly for regular people but independent professionals need to be given the tools to replace them.

Did you even read the topic? Lenovo owns Motorola. If the Motorola partnership works out (which it will), maybe they can look into GrapheneOS for the Lenovo y700 gen4 tablets, which is one of the fastest tablets in the market and is only $500.

>>108292485
It's not about the privacy, it's about getting more people to use and support GrapheneOS. A lighter OS like GrapheneOS, without all the bloatware, is key for better fps and performance on emulators and online phone games and tablets.

Is the "da bank app ain't working mah nigga" issue only in the US? Sounds like you should just change your bank or move out of your shitty country if there really aren't any working bank apps there.

All of them work fine, including the online competitive ones. At worst you need to disable one thing in the app settings which is an issue I've only ever had with MLBB.

Do they really not work? I've never used shopping apps on a phone since I'm not in the 3rd world so I can afford a PC.
