Graphene is is way over hyped. You can basically the same thing with lineage os. The key is just not using gsf

But then you can't use any apps that require Play Services. The killer feature of GrapheneOS is letting you run Play Services in a sandbox.

But that is unethical. Don't run proprietary software when there are good alternatives. I don't want google anywhere near my devices

Why would you even do that in a sandbox? Aren't you sending your personal data to Google servers all the same?

Unlocked bootloader is considered a vulnerability tho

But if your threats model is toxic Tim, satya and sundar, it will do the job just fine.

You can relock the bootloader though can't you?

Genuine question. I used to be an avid ROMer back int day until I got really really annoyed at all the hoops I had to jump through to use Google Wallet.

Now I have a Pixel 7a and I'm considering ROMs again. So I am wondering if I can just relock the bootloader once I find a ROM I like and it'll pass all the Safety net bullshit and allow me to use my phone like it should be, just with a custom ROM on it.
