Phone / no Android rom recommendation
Hello all,
I am looking to upgrade my phone and ditch Google along the way. I am researching a lot about Lineage OS and Graphene OS. Linux on phones isn’t quite ready if I read correctly.
I am looking into feedback of experience of non Android phones please.
Thank you very much!
Spouse uses Lineage on a Pixel 4A and it works great for them. If you wanted to get even further from Google, you can skip Lineage and go for Graphene which AFAIK doesn’t even offer microG support to emulate Google stuff. Sadly, it seems like the best phones to get de-Googled are consistently Google phones. I’m very interested in hearing if there are other manufacturers that people have had good luck with!
What are your needs and what specific problems are you trying to address by changing platforms?
@Ghostalmedia I have signed off Netflix Amazon prime Spotify, replaced it with sonar radarr lidarr etc… I’m a long time Linux user. Very recently switched all social media by fediverse. I want to completely disconnect from Google and that implies getting rid of Android.
Interesting. So basically you’re looking for experiences that aren’t owned and operated by tech giants.
This might be worth posting in an open source community. I was going to recommend some stuff, but it was just stuff owned by an even bigger company. ;)
What’s the goal here? Getting rid of Google Apps?
Keep in mind flashing your phone voids the warranty.
@orhtej3 iam okay with the warranty, I never use the built in os of devices usually.
As explained in the other comment (my bad, should have made a better original post) I am looking to completely disconnect from Google. I have been working even on a peertube and migrated my YouTube channel.
