   Unless you have a really specific need, rooting GrapheneOS is a bad idea.   
   You install a security-focused OS and then rooting throws away much of the   
   security part of it.  You still get the privacy improvements, but I strongly   
   suggest that you look for a way to do what you want without rooting.
