Curious what phones are more privacy-focused.

      Just ordered a 6a. Any idea how that works with the esim? I’ve never done esim or graphene, so although I’m familiar with different roms I have no idea what the setup experience is like on graphene with a pixel 6a

    I bought a Pixel 7 for the sole purpose of GrapheneOS. I really have no complaints. It Just Works and I feel slightly less uncomfortable carrying a phone with me.

    Moto g7 play with lineageOS 20 + microg + magisk delta I’m also running adaway and blocking all the tracker activities from my apps using app manager, and of course, using the most FOSS as possible for replacing proprietary apps. It works well, but sadly this phone won’t allow me to hide root and the locked bootloader, so no safetynet because of CTS verification.

    Edit: if I use hardware attestation disabler on lsposed, it passes

    I don’t like GrapheneOS’ creator… I’d rather use LineageOS on my Pixel 3… I also have a stock Pixel 5

    I recently got myself a Pixel 7 Pro. the preinstalled OS really tries to push all the Google stuff on you, which isn’t great.
    but after a quick look around for 1 hour, I installed GrapheneOS and am very happy with it

    although I’d really like to have a Linux smartphone. but there seems to be none with good hardware…

        Nah, I wanna have a real Linux system, complete with userspace environment and my complete control over everything

        GrapheneOS is pretty cool for now though.
        I haven’t tried PostmarketOS.

        But I’m so in love with my Steam Deck. it’s just pure beauty to have a complete Linux system in this lovely package. I can just ssh into it :⁠-⁠D
        so, it would be awesome to have a device, that would fit in my IT environment. Apple products work better/exclusively with Apple products, Linux stuff works better with Linux stuff.

    Pixel 4a 5G with GrapheneOS. Though it’s finally starting to hold less and less of a charge, so I may “upgrade” to a newer yesteryear Pixel model.
