GrapheneOS is such a staple for me now. Been waiting for it to be released for the Pixel 8 since I got the phone at launch... it doesn't have the annoying search bar or the unmovable widget telling you the weather... Regardless of the security and privacy it offers... And its just pretty.

Works fine man, knew it would.

Other comments on the app also say it doesn’t work on rooted devices since it scans the other apps you have installed and won’t work if it finds something it doesn’t like

That I don't doubt, although rooting GrapheneOS would defeat the entire security model of it. You'll find very few people that would do that aside from the security implication of doing so, you'd have to leave the bootloader unlocked, so on top of the attack surface, you'd then lose verified boot as well.

Weird that they said it wasn't supported, but thank you! I now plan to switch to grapheneos next week since that awful RSA app was the only thing holding me back
