RestlessOS is a fork of GrapheneOS that can run on non-pixel devices

Ive tried Restless OS out before but ended up scrapping because the lack of OTA updates and unlocked bootloader makes every other user facing security feature useless but being fair the only GSI based rom I’ve seen with ota updates is the official Infinity X GSI though i havent personally tested its stability even with updates, my issue is it would be very difficult to trust any fork of GrapheneOS as of now and my default assumption would be to assume it’s federal. The main benefit for something like this is if you seriously want sandbox Google play and cannot get a pixel but for that there is also Voltage OS and Yet Another AOSP Project. I wish more lineageos based roms used Sandboxed Google Play Or at least unprivileged micro G from DivestOS This a nifty way to tryout GrapheneOS but I wouldnt daily drive it. If you already have a Pixel but are stuck on stock for whatever then this may be of utility as you can test gsi’s without unlocking the bootloader (only on Pixels) so If you’re weary about GrapheneOS RestlessOS is a good test driver . So if you want to “dualboot” a GSi and stock you can use DSU sideloader and the adb gsi sticky mode command for it to persist as long as you like but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this
