It is a more serious project than LineageOS in the sense that they take security very seriously and they take their development more professionally too. There are no disadvantages to using GrapheneOS compared to LineageOS.

- deng 3y agoNote that this comparison is not entirely correct. For instance, LineageOS supports network-based location with UnifiedNlp. Android Auto works fine if you install GApps.
- Ruthalas 3y agoI haven't been able to get unifiednlp working on newer LOS builds. (It worked beautifully on an older device with an older version of LOS.) Do you have a current guide for installing it?
- JeremyNT 3y agoSecond this. The focus on security from GrapheneOS is a breath of fresh air compared to the (historically) questionable conventions in most of the third-party Android distribution ecosystem. As an example, Graphene even recommends not using Firefox [0]. I actually still do, but I understand their rationale and it's very well presented. The way they explain such things in clear English is very helpful and hopefully indicative of a similar amount of consideration being made elsewhere in the project.
