11@GrapheneOS Great job!
Btw you can get ready for answering flood of questions about why Motorola smartphone department belongs to a Chinese company called Lenovo.
@a53bdb We'll continue to have Pixels as an option.
@GrapheneOS I think you got me wrong…
@a53bdb We knew you weren't saying that but that's the answer we have for people who are.
@GrapheneOS Although i congratulate you and Motorola/Lenovo for the initiative, i'm a bit concerned about what will happen to GOS because let's be honest: Motorola is a company, not a charity. What's their ROI on that? Just reputation? Also considering that they announced data analytics and their own "security" tools in one breath. Will it only count for business phones or will the phones be shipped with preinstalled software in the future? I hope GOS will also run independently of Lenovo tools.
It looks like motorola could show itself and sell "secure entrprise grade" cellphones.
Which deciders could enforce employee to use as their authenticator or a small computer that doesn't leak internal company data.
I see value there. It's the same customer target as thinkpad
@GrapheneOS Will the bootloader be unlockable and relockable with user keys like the Pixels or will they just come with Graphene preinstalled with no way to do that?
Well, let's see how that turns out. I'd be a potential buyer for sure. I'd welcome the security but if it becomes a similar data sink like Google, just with a different endpoint, then nothing's gained.
It then just would be the same sh*t, different flies.
Let's wait until the first joint release comes out. I'm very hopeful and cautiously enthusiastic. GOS also has a reputation to uphold and i'm hopeful that they wouldn't just sell their soul because of corporate money.
@luana It will fully support using other operating systems including users making their own builds of GrapheneOS. It's part of our hardware requirements. We'll likely be able to make hardened builds of firmware and drivers which can be released in an official way for easy builds without needing to extract anything from the GrapheneOS or Motorola OS factory images.
@Brokar @tuxicoman It's going to be the same GrapheneOS supporting additional devices with official support and collaboration from the OEM. They're going to benefit through selling many more devices and we get more high quality devices meeting our security requirements which we can properly support. It should also be a lot easier for us to support than Pixels because they're going to be helping us a lot. Most of the work still needs to be done, but it's a serious partnership already.
