I dont want to start a fight or anything like that, I have to decide between these 2 and cant figure out which is the best and why, mostly because if you ask on X they just start swearing to each other without giving any real explanation, can anyone help a person who want to embrace privacy and anonimity?

    After having done some recent experimentation: from a usability perspective.

    Graphene Exclusive:

    • sandbox google if you want it
    • can disable apps, so they never run, but still get updates. ( This is great for those apps you want on demand i.e. food, hotels, movie, banking, etc)
    • elegant cross user notifications, so if you’re in your banking user account, you can see you got a text message on your social user account. And switch over quickly
    • security scopes for contacts, and media- you can choose exactly what to share with a app when they ask for access to media. This might now be a general Android 14 feature I’m not sure

    Calyxos Exclusive

    • share VPN via tethering and profiles (lineage os too)
    • work profile for EVERY user account (normally only the owner account can set up a work profile. This is the only ROM I’m aware of that allows this.)

    Honestly, I would like the vendors to incorporate each other’s features. I don’t see why not since they’re both open source.

    When traveling, the ability to share a tethered VPN is an absolutely killer feature. You don’t need travel routers.

    Sorry for necroing an old thread. But it’s relevant
