How useful is it to run a Graphene derivative in a device without the required safety hardware?

I see. If I ever get to change my main device, I'll consider to unlock the bootloader and try this

So this is GrapheneOS for a wider variety of phones (minus the extra security, which may or may not matter to you)?

Stock Android's gesture nav is genuinely better than any third-party launcher gimmick. Google actually spent time on the physics and snap points. Most 'improvements' I've tried just add latency and inconsistency for no real gain.

It won't give you the same level of exploit protection as GrapheneOS on proper hardware does, but it's ten times better than running any other OS on the very same hardware.

UPD: Just read through it, due to GSI, they've stripped almost all strongest protections from GrapheneOS. It probably still be more secure and private than any other OS given the same hardware (and obviously, assuming the code hasn't been tampered with malicious intent).
