Vanadium is pretty good but I agree there are problems I can circumvent only by using another one (Brave); I presume it's the strict tracking protection that breaks some sites. Not sure about your launcher problem, but you had to turn it on yourself? I don't experience anything like this on my phones. I miss Nova though; none of the other launchers I tried came near (last tried: uLauncher, Kvaesito, Olauncher, Lawnchar, Niagara. Need to try Square home perhaps). Lack of rooted adb is a good, conscious choice for the security focused OS. It's not about _you_, it's about the integrity of the OS. You demand access to adb root. Today Cellebrite cannot extract entire phone with one profile unlocked. I bet they'd be thrilled to hear about the new, beautiful target. If you really need that, you can build yourself debug image and have access to it. You want it, but that's incompatible with the security model. They give you ways to get it, of course, but without their stamp of OS integrity. To me safe defaults are a good choice.

I understand that Magisk can be applied to Graphene if the final device lock step is not applied. I might try that if I elevate it to my daily driver. I'm not comfortable without root. I have the absolute right to have root on my device. I don't know why Graphene didn't just take Trebuchet.

  > I understand that Magisk can be applied to Graphene if the final device lock step is not applied Unless you relock the bootloader you are forfeiting major avenue into your phone (and it's not really, fully GOS - because you keep most important protections off). But it's your choice of course. You'd be probably better off just creating your own OS image with preinstalled root libraries, etc. > I'm not comfortable without root. I have the absolute right to have root on my device. I agree with you fully. This is your phone.

    I have been running Lineage since my first Cyanogen install on my HTC Incredible. An unlocked bootloader is standard operating procedure for me by force of habit.
