What is /e/OS made of ? components?

[dingo]

first id like to say seems to be decent amount of work so far, yet why still android 11, and not 12 ?
are you a complete fork of lineageOS ? any plans to integrate security features like/from grapheneOS ? say custom hardened malloc, Vanadium web browser? android security patches maybe found in the wild, others? Im mostly concerned about privacy and security.

@Manoj

We plan to upgrade around 70+ devices to /e/OS S or Android 12. The /e/OS S builds are in the final stages of development and testing. Hope to release the devices in monthly batches of 20 devices.

Will share details of the device names and ETA soon.

DivestOS vs. /e/ OS - security and privacy easy

Dear all, the /e/ team brought this interesting discussion thread to my attention. So I want to explain something about privacy vs security, because there is often a lot of confusion between the two concepts. Though they are linked together, you can have excellent security without privacy, and you can have decent privacy without hardened security. The perfect examples are Apple and Google.

/e/S upgrades coming soon

is it at all possible for us to build 12 now for specific devices like my ASUS ROG 3 phone, hoping to resolve the wonky wireless???

So basically your stating privacy is the key, yet there are simple additions like hardened malloc which do provide security based enhancements without negating your “privacy” stance.

So basically your stating

I’m not stating anything, I linked to a post by eelo / e / Murena founder Gaël Duval
explaining where /e/OS stands on the matter you are interested in.

ok nope sorry have to go back to stock, wireless is way to buggy, apps like grab wount open google, and email app keeps telling me cant login to gmail account hyowever gmail app works fine. maybe ill try 12 when its ready.

[cedricoola]

Wait, are you saying you can’t open Google on an ungoogled OS ?! What a scandal, indeed!

[dingo]

LOL yeah ideal huh… i do have a gmail email and seemingly grab requires auth for the gmail address, either way, the wireless was just super flaky, the other things mostly i could have rectified by using a non-google account.
