@ashaman2007@lemm.ee,
We're open to working with most OEM's, including Nothing.

Presently, Nothing's devices don't meet our hardware requirements and still have a long way to go. One example and a key main requirements is hardware memory tagging (MTE), which is currently missing on any Snapdragon-based device. We use MTE to provide a lot of our core protections against exploitation. A secure element with the required features is only one of part of our requirements.

These requirements are part of what we need to provide strong security. Qualcomm needs to do part of that work by implementing memory tagging like Exynos/MediaTek.

However, they might eventually release devices we could support for GrapheneOS in the future.

 

What's new in v5.4:

There are many other improvements and fixes in this release:

  • profile names now allow spaces.
  • when you delete contacts, they are optionally notified.
  • previously used and your own SimpleX links are recognized by the app.
  • and more - see the release notes.
 

The Auditor app uses hardware security features on supported devices to validate the integrity of the operating system from another Android device. It will verify that the device is running the stock operating system with the bootloader locked and that no tampering with the operating system has occurred. It will also detect downgrades to a previous version.

Auditor app version 34 released: https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Auditor/releases/tag/34

See the linked release notes for an overview of the improvements and a link to the full list of changes.

See https://attestation.app/about%C2%A0and%C2%A0https://attestation.app/tutorial%C2%A0for info about the app and optional monitoring service.

Official chat rooms: #grapheneos:grapheneos.org and #offtopic:grapheneos.org

This is a community based around the GrapheneOS projects including the hardened Android Open Source Project fork, Auditor, AttestationServer, the hardened malloc implementation and other projects.


All installs should follow the Official Install Guide. No other guides are recommended or supported.

If your question is related to device support, please see the Which devices will be supported in the future? for criteria and the Which devices are recommended? for recommend devices from the FAQ section of the official site.

If your question is related to app support, please check the Usage Guide. Sections like Bugs uncovered by security features should help if you have a native app with a security issue uncovered by hardening. If you want to know what browser to use please reference Web browsing. In general, Vanadium is almost always the recommendation for security and privacy.

If your question is related to a feature request, please check the issue trackers. OS issue tracker, Vanadium for other GrapheneOS project check the Reporting issue.


GrapheneOS has a very active community primarily based around the official chat rooms on Matrix and where most of the core community, including contributors, to the project have discussions. Most of those people are not active here on Lemmy's !grapheneos@lemmy.ml community.

The official GrapheneOS space groups together all of the official rooms along with members of the community who join the space. You can join the space at #community:grapheneos.org

Links to join our new official chat rooms via the Element web client:

Matrix Room Description
#grapheneos:grapheneos.org Best place to request support, ask questions or get involved in the project
#offtopic:grapheneos.org Discuss topics not strictly related to GrapheneOS
#dev:grapheneos.org Discuss GrapheneOS app and OS development
#testing:grapheneos.org Provide feedback on Beta channel releases
#releases:grapheneos.org Release announcements
#infra:grapheneos.org Infrastructure monitoring and discussion

You can use the client and home server of your choice. For new users, the Element web app or mobile app with matrix.org as your home server is a sensible choice.
