Fairphone is probably the only realistic possibility since they will use blobs.
I’m up for it. Fairphone already works with Murena (eOS). They could work with SailfishOS, postmarketOS, and others. But how do we go about convincing them of doing so?
There’s isn’t a fucking chance Samsung is giving up data mining to move to GOS.
Elon Musk would get his Communist Party membership first.
GrapheneOS is nice as it is now, but could they keep up if Google at some point decides to fully pull the rug from its Open Source version? The past few months worry me about the direction that Android is taking and GrapheneOS has quite a dependency on that.
If Google kills AOSP, a lot more than just GrapheneOS will stop being able to exist lest some entity maintains a fork that diverges from Google’s path. Vendors that aren’t shipping in line with Play Services and the rest of the ecosystem as well as LineageOS and other custom ROM development teams will suffer as well.
This kind of decision would essentially kill adoption of Android in a good number of countries within a few years as well as be the end of Android adoption for anyone that cares about security and/or privacy. Yes, It would either kill or put a large burden upon GrapheneOS as a project, but that is also true for so many other projects in the ecosystem. If the developers shutter their AOSP usage due to upstream abandonment, the users will likely follow in the same pattern.
Fairphone maybe but Samsung is never going to give up their

GrapheneOS will be never willing to work with Fairphone, their demands would require a Firmware team a company the size of Fairphone does not have and cannot afford. On top of that their are key figures that are fairly opinionated as well which makes that scenario unlikely. Samsung could afford it buu hardly has an interest in working with Graphene.
Yeah s please. How?
Governments should require all firmware to be open source. That will do far more to enable linux and other variants than any other game of whackamole. Google will kill Android open-source eventually.
I can’t speak for the others, but I know that there are hardware security features GOS requires that aren’t present in non-Pixel phones. It’s not so much that they don’t want to work in other hardware, but that they don’t want to lower their security standards to do so.
It’s weird to group two Linux OSs with an Android OS anyway. One is focused on security, while the others are focused on introducing another type of mobile OS into the market.
I think “push other phone OEM’s” here mostly means to encourage these OEMs to make devices that are compatible with these altenative operating systems. In the case of GrapheneOS, that means a device with the necessary security hardware components.

Good luck!
OEM’s
or OEMs, even.
