<h1>GrapheneOS</h1>
|

<p>GrapheneOS is an open source privacy and security focused mobile OS with Android
|
||||
app compatibility. Many past features of the project still need to be ported to the
|
||||
current releases. The project is in the 5th year of development and has been reborn as
|
||||
a non-profit open source project not strongly associated with any specific company or
|
||||
organization. It will take some time for the pieces to come into place turning it into
|
||||
a much broader and more sustainable project with a strong development team. There are
|
||||
multiple organizations and companies in the process of backing this new incarnation of
|
||||
the hardened mobile OS project. Official Releases are available on the

<h2>Early stage of development</h2>
|
||||
<p>GrapheneOS is a privacy / security research and engineering project that has been
|
||||
under way for over 5 years. It recently became rebranded as GrapheneOS and is taking a
|
||||
different direction based on obtaining funding for the research and development work
|
||||
as a non-profit open source project rather than being a company. The reborn project is
|
||||
still in a very early stage and lots of the past work on privacy and security has not
|
||||
yet been restored for the new incarnation of the OS.</p>
|
||||
<p>The grapheneos.org site is very new and is currently being put together. It will
|
||||
have lots of additional documentation and tutorials in the future along with coverage
|
||||
of various software, firmware and hardware privacy/security topics.</p>
|
||||
<p>GrapheneOS is being supported with funding and developers from various companies
|
||||
and other organizations interested in contributing to this shared base for a feature
|
||||
rich private and secure mobile operating system able to run many existing
|
||||
applications. It will take more time to organize and deploy these resources in order
|
||||
for the project to have a strong development team with proper infrastructure behind
|
||||
it.</p>
|
||||
<h2>Roadmap</h2>
|
||||
<p>Details on the roadmap of the project will be posted on the site in the near
|
||||
future. In the long term, it aims to move beyond a hardened fork of the Android Open
|
||||
Source Project. Achieving the goals requires moving away from relying the Linux kernel
|
||||
as the core of the OS and foundation of the security model. It needs to move towards a
|
||||
microkernel-based model with a Linux compatibility layer, with many stepping stones
|
||||
leading towards that goal including adopting virtualization-based isolation.</p>
|
||||
<p>Hardware and firmware security are core parts of the project, but it's currently
|
||||
limited to research and submitting suggestions and bug reports upstream. In the long
|
||||
term, the project will need to move into the hardware space.</p>
|
||||
<h2>Device support</h2>
|
||||
<p>In the current early stage of the project, GrapheneOS provides production releases
|
||||
for the Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. It will support
