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.

    I love running a custom ROM, but I’m concerned RCS is going to become a deal break for me :(

    I love that text messaging will finally not be complete shit between iOS and Android, but RCS is such a shitty locked down protocol.

      For what it’s worth, I have RCS working with GrapheneOS. I don’t think I did anything special, but it did take awhile. I did see stuff on their forum about others having a bigger issue with it, though.

      And of course, I prefer Signal, where possible.
