    Graphene only supports devices for as long as the manufacturer does, maybe slightly longer.

    Doesn’t seem like the old CyanogenMod days where you could slap that shit on there forever.

        Yeah kinda! My pixel is still going strong, but I kind of feel forced to get rid of it now. I would much prefer to just flash a new ROM and get a few more years out of it. The hardware is (still) really good for the performance I expect out of my phone.

        Eh. Maybe I’ll get a new phone, wipe this one and use it for traveling.

        You expect them to backport security updates to pixel 3 or whatever for free when even the manufacturer doesn’t?

            They only backport (some) OS patches, the firmware doesn’t get updated after the vendor classifies a device as EOL.
