  I think I’ll need stock Android due to those two factor authentication apps for banking, which are not allowing to be ran on custom or rooted phones.

  I really loved Cyanogen tho …

      Some work, some are more of a pain in the ass (2fa for every single interaction even with biometrics enabled), and some don’t work. You lose anything that relies on Google pay, so no public transit passes or anything like that, no tap to pay, etc.

      And more to the point, the main graphene guy has unaddressed mental health issues and refuses to seek treatment, and I genuinely don’t feel comfortable with that one man show controlling my phone. Is google evil? Yes. Unstable? Not really, they are evil in generally predictable ways. I do actually hope he seeks help because nobody should live the way he does, but last I heard from earlier this year he’s still up to his same old behaviors.

        the main graphene guy has unaddressed mental health issues and refuses to seek treatment (he appears to believe the problem is everyone else)

        Daniel Micay stepped down last year [1]. Also, he was allegedly being swatted which would put anyone on edge, considering someone has already been killed over it [2] and police aren’t exactly known for treating people humanely.

        Looks like there’s 16 people involved in the project [3] - excluding any external contributors, that’s definitely more than one. Granted, its probably the previous lead and the new one who have the most commits, I haven’t looked, but its still not just a single developer. That said, your concern is valid. Smaller projects are more likely to die as soon as their main contributors lose interest or stop working on it for any reason - see the end of DivestOS as a prime example [4].
