The summary kind of makes it sound like there’s a switch in settings and poof! you’re back at stock android. But I imagine you need to flash the new ROM and start from scratch.
Right. It’s different in that it lacks Google Framework Service, and adds a bunch of privacy controls, like additional quick toggles to control the cameras, and microphone, the way other Android can quick toggle the flashlight and location servcies and bluetooth.
The biggest thing is substantially more granular per app permissions, controlled from a calentral interface in settings.
Its pedantic and distracts from the real conversation happening. I’ve always considered “stock” to mean how the device ships from the factory (that’s how the term is used in the automobile world), whereas I would think it fair to consider AOSP a standard, it’s something you can compare other ROMs against.
Regardless of mine or anyone else’s opinion, we’re just ultimately wanting to talk about how GrapheneOS is much closer to the clean and uncluttered experience AOSP offers
you/they mean the OEM operating system right?
Or any other rom, really. Stock, which is the Google version of Android, but the pixel line is well supported by lineage and other variants.

Yes. You can go back to stock.
My point is that “stock” is not a “standard”. If anything GrapheneOS is more standard.
True. It’s close to AOSP. Don’t understand the downvotes.
