GrapheneOS Overhauled Default Apps and Secure Clipboard

Re: GrapheneOS Overhauled Default Apps and Secure Clipboard
#242Default apps in GrapheneOS are really outdated. Especially "Gallery" where on standard "compact" device top navbar is still too small and requires very precise touch. Hopefully, little by little, all stock applications will be updated to more modern variants. I personally had plans to build some open source stock Android applications, but after whole nonsense with platform being locked down I do not see the point in investing my time, just for google to block my apps.

It doesn't apply to GrapheneOS users and it doesn't affect developers who have apps on the play store. You should do it! Many users on stock android who would install apps not from the play store will have gone through the 24 hours or used ADB.

The latest FUTO works just as well as Gboard for me. Their somewhat recent update to their swiping library really changed the game, and their voice recognition is also pretty decent.
Same. Used to use GBoard, not FUTO is as good so no reason to.

Re: GrapheneOS Overhauled Default Apps and Secure Clipboard
#245They are really creating a lot of buzz recently. I love it, I hope they succeed beyond just us geeks here. It is imho imperative for a fair and balanced technological society that it retains the means for truly private and secure communications. My devices help me think, and my thoughts are my own. That is a fundamental condition of human-hood. Sure we can change that, if that's what we want, but do we? If we do, do…

FuriLabs makes a Linux phone that is designed as a daily driver. Looking at it to replace Android.
That's a huge downgrade for privacy, security, usability, battery life and compatibility with apps. GrapheneOS is Linux too. Linux doesn't mean glibc and systemd. Linux is unfortunately not a great base for an OS focused on privacy and security but it's the only practical choice at this time. In the long term, it needs to be replaced as the bare metal kernel.
Testing the FLX1S for a few weeks as a media player, modern day iPod tool with offline content storage / temp caching. Battery is better than current Android phone. Both have areas of better usability.
I would recommend it as tool for a Linux app designer to use with testing and user improvement. Helps find issue not present on a laptop or desktop. Highlights the difference in solution choices; Python vs Node.js vs Rust.
I'm getting away from Google as far and fast as possible. The sooner the bandaid is pulled the better and more freeing. Google's path with being able to reject those that they don't seem worthy to run on Android, that is a prison.
Personally, I should have root access to the device so that all content which must be archived can be or consumed with another tool; Category Theory. I should have direct access to copying or backing up SMS with ease. Watching the network traffic to know what is actually going through.
Security is also being able for one to learn about the actual operations and test and validate them.
So say you use a USB device to host the kernel boot image which then requires manual password authentication to decrypt physical device drives. Without the USB device, it boots into duress mode.
Duress mode provides a false shell into a working phone. Physical security system do this, by provide false statements of what is going on. Wipe the real stuff in the background if need be.
GraphneOS is using a Linux Kernel. I'm looking for something more Linux Distro style of implementation. Not choosing GraphneOS is pure objective to remove myself from Google and Apple as much as possible in a communication tool.
Android device has become phone and text only. Linux device has become my engagement. Going for a walk without primary communication is peaceful.

Re: GrapheneOS Overhauled Default Apps and Secure Clipboard
#248I hope they replace the AOSP keyboard with FUTO keyboard. I'm mostly fine with the other stock apps, but that keyboard was the one thing I absolutely had to end up replacing due to its jenky behavior.
I use Gboard with the network permission disabled. It works well but I hope they have a better stock keyboard, I haven't found any others that don't annoy me in one way or another.
futo is running whisper to transcript and it is local only

Our port of Messaging to Compose was clearly not vibe coded as both the parent comment and yours are wrongly portraying it. Experienced developers have been working on overhauling the app for months with a lot of back and forth code review to get the pull requests into shape. We don't have a policy against using AI for assistance as long as the resulting code meets our high standards. We definitely use frontier AI mo…

We've explained we're using a GrapheneOS project account due to libelous personal attacks, stalking and harassment towards our founder and other team members. Hacker News has many past threads filled with libelous personal attacks towards our team. We repeatedly asked for moderation intervention and it hasn't happened. We regularly had our replies in those threads flagged because it went against the bandwagon of hate towards us.
Your account is persistently engaging in inappropriate personal attacks towards our founder. It's inappropriate to keep dropping someone's personal name who has never participated with their name on this site even aside from the personal attacks.
You're seeking out threads with discussion about GrapheneOS to post misleading and inaccurate claims about it in order to troll. You previously set your profile bio to a hostile remark towards the GrapheneOS project and have now changed it to pretend to be a GrapheneOS supporter.
Flagging personal attacks, harassment content, trolling, AI slop, engagement bait, shady advertising for products and deliberate attempts to mislead people is an appropriate use of the feature from our perspective.
We've been reaching out to the Hacker News moderation team for a while to discuss the years of libelous personal attacks and harassment content posted on the site. They can reach out to us at contact@grapheneos.org where we can discuss that.

You've made multiple comments disparaging GrapheneOS because of two minor features it provides. Both features are fully legal for GrapheneOS to include. Both are legal to use as long as people follow applicable laws. Both our regular call recording and automatic call recording features display a prominent warning to users about following call recording consent laws. Proceeding requires accepting the dialog acknowledg…

This is trolling and it's appropriate for it to be flagged:
> But I guess most of the low-hanging fruit has been solved by the mainstream OS, so a new OS has to take all of the dirty work no one else would touch in order to be relevant. Godspeed
Here's a statement which was made earlier and wasn't necessarily trolling:
> I also find it quite poetic that GrapheneOS seems to be against surveillance, yet they are for it, when it's in their favour of course.
However, it was confirmed to be in their follow up reply:
> > One of the parties involved in a call recording it is not surveillance
> I do agree in principle, and would even argue for it. But in many states it's just not what the law is.
Here's our response to what you've pasted in response to multiple of our replies:
