Lockdown Mode for Android? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Is there a fork of Android (or a way to harden it) that locks down the OS similarly to how Apple does it?

Apple's implementation can actually protect you from commercial spyware. I'm impressed.

I love graphene doesnt have a lockdown per say but u can definatly have seperate profiles that should acheive a simmillar amount of isolation.

"Lockdown mode" is a false sense of security. Graphene is fine and should be challenging to compromise as long as you aren't doing anything to crazy. I would be very interested to see an attack for it as I haven't seen any public attempts as of yet
