    Odd. Google Pixel 7 with GrapheneOS here. OsmAnd works perfectly fine for me without disabling any exploit protection options.

      CoMaps behaves very very weirdly on GrapheneOS. Same with OrganicMaps.

      Osmand and GMaps are working fine.

      Waze is almost melting the poor thing. Beside of that working fine.

        CoMaps and Waze definitely work well on GrapheneOS. There's a known performance issue experienced by some users with the OsmAnd OpenGL renderer which can be worked around disabling hardened_malloc. We could likely provide a performance vs. security toggle for hardened_malloc to avoid it, but we also plan to continue optimizing the default high security mode.
