We have a partial port of GrapheneOS to the Pixel 11 series after a week of work on it. We're unable to complete the port due to lack of support for ARM hardware memory tagging in software, firmware and near certainly hardware. It appears Google cut an important security feature to save money.

    They’re saying Graphene without MTE is less secure, which isn’t something they want.

    Well they’re inevitably backing into a dead-end. MTE is obviously off the table now which means eventually they’ll have no hardware fitting to their super-exacting demands. Motorola might come through, or not.

    I hate being a conspiracy theorist but honestly sometimes the way Graphene clings to Pixels feels like a Google scheme to boost their pathetic Pixel market share.

      Well, their tone and lack of support for the latest pixel kinda does make me think that’s not true.

      But I love a good conspiracy theory.

      Like birds.

      They’re not real
