A duress PIN should load a normal looking phone so the dumb cops think you complied. Hide the wipe behind texts from your mom and emails from work.
@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social everyone seems to be clamouring for the same thing: add "duress profile" to the roadmap. Keep up the good work.
Hell, an OS that gave me separate profiles for different pins could be useful for a bunch of things.
gOS already has separate profiles with different passwords, how about setup a profile with a few pictures of gaping anuses to match the energy of nosy warrantless searching federals and install a couple apps with some activity I'm guessing is going to be better than an obvious wipe, even though a wipe is legal as it's your property and not evidence of a crime to destroy your own stuff.
OOOOOHHHH!!!! I like that. I have nefarious ideas with that. MWA HA HA HA HA!!! They'll never know I dislike cheesecake!!! Oh! Shit! I've said too much!!!

@modem_down @beep @Semi_Hemi_Demigod It would be trivially detected by widely distributed standard forensic software including the non-Premium variant of Cellebrite able to run on a laptop.
@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social
By "duress profile", I mean that if user has enabled a "duress profile" feature in Settings, then entering the duress PIN would:
So, how would forensic software detect that the unlocked profile is a duress profile?
The point isn't to make it forensically undetectable, but to prevent the room temperature IQ cop from noticing what happened. If they "unlock" the phone and don't see anything that looks out of the ordinary they won't make a big deal out of it and there's a chance they'll let you go.
The room temperature IQ cop is going to plug the phone into a system that will do that forensic detection. Using commercial or special software.
Room temperature IQ cop knows how to plug the cord into the phone and the cord into the laptop.
Lol I wouldn't hold your breath, these devs won't even give you inverted navbar buttons so unless it's something they themselves want, you won't see it.
wait there's really no inverted navbar in grapheneos?
But what about the spam emails your wife accidentally signed you up for ????
Reading this comment with the assumption my wife will find it some day: Right, she doesn’t give out my number instead of hers as a contact point every time she visits a shop that asks, and certainly not because she has it memorised and it’s too much of a bother to give out her own, not at all.
All the WhatsApp group invitations for clothing and grocery places that happen after she goes shopping are completely unrelated.
And a bunch of random apps for restaurants that you installed to get a discount
