I'm so glad GrapheneOS is willing and able to pick up the pieces and polish Android into a usable product as Google continues to drive its clunker into the ground. The only question is if GOS can rescue Android before Google sends it off a cliff.

Usually I am the one making fun of people who have been claiming that "the new update made everything buggy and slow and reduced battery life" with every update for the past 15 years, but this time this one's actually real and hitting my base Pixel 8 hard. Hopefully the October update fixes it.

As a custom ROM maintainer in that position, it's unlikely to cause a difference since Google has effectively monopolized their Play Integrity API for attestation. Even Graphene itself runs into this roadblock, and why in the current day it's still a minority user group using it or other ROMs
