You've restated my thesis.

I could tell.
- yaro330 1mo agoIt's pretty clear that you have an extremely limited exposure to the custom Android development space, since you never rebutted any of the points I brought up. Custom android was never easy and never will be. And it's fundamentally incompatible with the concept of having a truly secure env on your device (same as in the PC space, ironically enough).
- timschmidt 1mo agoSon, I've been building and installing custom roms since the HTC Dream, was involved in OpenMoko, and have owned nearly every open or Linux-running phone of the last 30 years back to the Sharp Zaurus and iPaqs. Your custom rom experience sits wholly within a larger category of computer systems experience about which I've been speaking. The sort of fragmentation you describe is a symptom, not a foregone conclusion.

Where on earth do you get this misconception? Custom Android != has root. If you don't think Graphene is reasonably secure, explain how?
