A duress PIN should load a normal looking phone so the dumb cops think you complied. Hide the wipe behind texts from your mom and emails from work.

@GrapheneOS everyone seems to be clamouring for the same thing: add "duress profile" to the roadmap. Keep up the good work.

Lol I wouldn’t hold your breath, these devs won’t even give you inverted navbar buttons so unless it’s something they themselves want, you won’t see it.

Nope, and in the support threads the devs were all “Tough, we don’t want it, use gestures”.

Inverted navbar and long press back button to force close an app are essential for me. Meanwhile diva devs are a massive turn off.

Love some of what they’ve done, hate their attitude. Bit like the lemmy devs, except the GOS devs won’t allow anyone to fork or incorporate their stuff.
