GrapheneOS is such a staple for me now. Been waiting for it to be released for the Pixel 8 since I got the phone at launch… it doesn’t have the annoying search bar or the unmovable widget telling you the weather… Regardless of the security and privacy it offers… And its just pretty.
Do you think Graphene isnt Android? Of course it works. Whatever “devs” claimed that lied to you. What app?
I’ll admit that I forgot grapheneos was android, but the devs (at least as of a year ago) said it wasn’t supported and that that was intentional but didn’t say why. The IT department at my company also said grapheneos isn’t supported by it.
The app is RSA Authenticator (SecurId). If someone is able to download it and make sure it launches I would appreciate it so I can try to make the switch finally. It’s an awful app in every way though, just look at the comments
Other comments on the app also say it doesn’t work on rooted devices since it scans the other apps you have installed and won’t work if it finds something it doesn’t like. Garbage app that is one of two of the required 2fa app for my work for some awful reason. (One is a normal, god fearing 2fa used for account sign ins. The problem one is used for accessing the company VPN) It generates 8 digit auth codes and the “token” to add it was a URL instead of just a string of characters so I can’t just use another app
It works as far as I can tell. However, it wasn’t always the case.
Version 4.3.12 is - I just installed it on both the Pixel 6 and the new Pixel 8, both running the latest GrapheneOS builds with Android 14.
In the summer of 2022, numerous issues arose for non-GrapheneOS users as well, as reflected in the reviews. This was because the SecurID update began utilizing the Play Integrity API to detect non-certified OS/devices. The Play Integrity API has since replaced the now-obsolete SafetyNet attestation API.
Ahh that would explain it, thank you so much for the info!
You’re quite welcome.
Works fine man, knew it would.
That I don’t doubt, although rooting GrapheneOS would defeat the entire security model of it. You’ll find very few people that would do that aside from the security implication of doing so, you’d have to leave the bootloader unlocked, so on top of the attack surface, you’d then lose verified boot as well.
Weird that they said it wasn’t supported, but thank you! I now plan to switch to grapheneos next week since that awful RSA app was the only thing holding me back
