It’s not that FairPhone can’t run it. It’s that Graphene OS team doesn’t want people to run it on other phones. Their reasoning is that if people run Graphene OS on less secure hardware and get hacked it will damage the brand.

i never said fairphone cant run it. I said Graphene doesnt want to do a partnership with people who dont meet their hardware requirements. Thats fair, a grapheneOS approved phone should meet all their requirements. Which is why its so awesome to see them partnering with motorola

Yeah, it’s just that saying that it “lack hardware security” sounds like Graphene OS requires it to run, not that the devs are choosing not to support it. Not that you clarified it we’re talking about the same thing.

If the Graphene team is partnering with Motorola then the devices will have the security features. They’ve been clear on their requirements.
