I don't like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

No, it's the other way around. Fairphone needs to implement the things Graphene requires.

GrapheneOS can't add hardware features to an existing phone. That's why no los dos.

Sure, but once that's in place, Graphene has to make efforts on their part. It's not instantly compatible unless the hardware is exactly identical to a supported device. That's the point I was making. I forget sometimes when being flippant that I have to explain every detail so that overly pedantic people can follow...my bad...

Sure. My point is that GrapheneOS can't do much until Fairphone does their part.
