This was not given as reason by the devs why graphene is not on Fairphone. The delayed security updates were.

It’s because Graphene is not a custom ROM. /e/os is. Graphene is just an OS on top of the ROM, and Fairphone doesn’t update their ROM often enough.

This is a complete non-issue though if you use a custom ROM like LineageOS or /e/os.

Do Google Pixel phones come installed with GrapheneOS? We’re talking about custom setups with more privacy here.

I did have to follow the installation instructions, which included unlocking my bootloader, installing adb on my PC, and entering a few command lines.

There is the possibility to buy it preinstalled though, but from a third-party company.

I’ve been using a Fairphone with /e/os. No Google at all. Rooted with Magisk. MicroG to run apps that need Google services. Everything I need works.
