It took a while but congrats to Daniel Micay and GrapheneOS. Hopefully it is the first of a few (looking at you HMD, Sony, Samsung, Nothing).

Will Motorola allowlist/whitelist GrapheneOS's avb key for green boot state? Does that have any implications for Play Integrity?

Do GrapheneOS finally get AOSP full partner access as a result of this? Will the Motorola device have USB port control, OS virtualisation and GPU virtualisation? Will it have a better secure face unlock story than Pixel 5 - 10?

Will the gushing fans and secret admirers finally stop flocking to me because I switched from Pixel-GrapheneOS to Motorola-GrapheneOS?

graphene OS have been public that they have had full partner access for a while now, didnt say who exactly it was until motorola announced it now

  • They said they have access to security previews/patches but I have missed that they have full AOSP access now? Do you have a link?

> Will the Motorola device have USB port control, OS virtualisation and GPU virtualisation?

From GrapheneOS's requirements for any phone they will consider supporting [1]:

- Hardware accelerated virtualization usable by GrapheneOS (ideally pKVM to match Pixels but another usable implementation may be acceptable)

- Support for disabling USB data and also USB as a whole at a hardware level in the USB controller
