yeah. like my manufacturers' 3-year-old, full-o-spyware ROM is more secure than latest clean installed lineage.
they just want control, not security. and with banking apps becoming a necessity, i'm starting to be forced to return to stock.
graphene sandboxes Google services so they don't run as root on your device. I haven't encountered an app I can't get running on graphene yet and having Google play installed as non root is a far sight better than stock.
my biggest problem with lineage was compatibility with banking apps so I reluctantly switched but graphene is a solid choice in operating system for privacy and security.
Graphene is great, but I'm currently on a Xiaomi phone so I can't run most ROMs, I'll likely run derpfest when I get the bootloader unlocked
that's one I haven't heard of. how is it functionally?
I haven't tried it yet, but it seems to have a lot of pixel features ported, I realized crDroid supports my phone so I might try that
