After looking into it more, I don't think I would use Graphene OS even if it was supported on FP4, main dev seems like a lying man baby.
On the other hand, I didn't know Calyx OS has support for FP4, I might try it out.
I don't really remember strcat "lying", yet there are some evidence of him being... Let's say unstable. GrapheneOS, tho, is another story as it's trying to improve the android's privacy/security model instead of simply not making things worse. For example, they are behind hardened malloc - for security, and have storage & contact scopes (i.e. letting the user choose which files/directories exactly an app can access) - for privacy. While the former feature has been adopted by a few other roms and even desktop Linux distributions, the latter I've seen only on graphene so far, which is quite a shame. Same goes for sandboxing play services

Thanks, that was interesting and eye opening read. Do you know if he is still working on graphene os or is he out? Because some users mentioned that he left.
