Seems like a lot of settings that graphineos shouldnjust have off by default. We are already opting into security and imho privacy by default. Graphineos default settings should reflect that more
I don't really see the point of ensuring the mic and camera are always off when using such a secure and private os like graphene. Seems unnecessary imo. I tried doing it but it's just annoying have to turn them back on everytime i need to use either
Thank you, great video! This type of graphene setup and operation information is lacking in the security space. I noticed in particular that the turn off wifi automatically setting is only available in the owner profile. Does this follow through yo thebother profiles or is it just not available? Also, do you have to go through every profile and set everyone of these settinggs for each?
Glad you enjoyed the content! There are certain settings that are “global” settings that carry over from the owner profile through all other profiles. Turn off Wi-Fi automatically is one of them. So if my setting in the owner profile is to turn off Wi-Fi in 1 minute, this carries over to all other profiles. The setting is also locked by the owner profile. Meaning that the option to change the Wi-Fi auto off setting is not found in the other profiles…but it will still turn off because it is controlled by the global setting of the owner profile. Same for Bluetooth auto off, private dns, and much more. These are not adjustable in other profiles because it is controlled globally by the owner profile. Hope this helps!
Sandboxed play services can not see the IMEI, like any other app. GrapheneOS simply doesn't provide that information to it. (That doesn't mean your carrier can't see the IMEI.)
