Curious what phones are more privacy-focused.
Pixel6 with grapheneOS
❤
I’m using a pixel 6a with GrapheneOs
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
Privileged eSIM management can be enabled in Settings ➔ Network & Internet ➔ Privileged eSIM management. The toggle will be greyed out and unusable if sandboxed Google Play is not installed, as the functionality is reliant on it.

hope this helps
Not using the esim, but i am interested to know as well

Pixel 6 GrapheneOS
Fairphone 3+ with /e/OS. It has been 3 years now, still working fine, and no major problems really. It is expensive for what you get, but if it can help reducing e-waste and spare me the burden of buying a phone every 2 years, I think it’s worth.

How’s the battery life?
Oh cool. Do you like it?
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
Can you give a little detail how you are blocking the app tracking?
Both with adaway’s firewall and app manager to disable trackers, both applications are available on f-droid.
App manager will block most, if not all tracking activities off applications (Google ads, Google firebase Facebook ads, Amazon ads, and other nasty stuff).
If something passes through, it won’t be able to send anything to their servers as adaway’s firewall will be acting as a middleman blocking the addresses.
Microg also has a part in that, as it sends as little info as possible to google servers, so applications can’t properly use it to display ads, or track my activity, if they simply can at all.
Lineage on a Pixel. AOSP is great without gapps
Pixel 6 with CalyxOS.
I don’t like GrapheneOS’ creator… I’d rather use LineageOS on my Pixel 3… I also have a stock Pixel 5
GrapheneOS is a fantastic software regardless of its creator. Also didn’t Daniel Micay step down?

That’s good… he might have only stepped down from lead développer position though
It was from all positions. you can read the post here :( https://grapheneos.social/@DanielMicay/110437191840640957
Sorry to hear that he was swatted, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone…
It makes me sad. I miss them. I wish people would be nice to them.
So does he still develop for the GrapheneOS project? I wasn’t sure if he stepped down from just the social spheres or development as well.
Hoping it’s just social media management because the dude is one hell of a developer, but seems to get into beef with a lot of other FOSS projects, developers, and community members. I don’t exactly blame him though, given how stressful the herculean responsibility he took on must be.
Also hope he is doing well.
He also stepped down from development I believe.
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 italthough I’d really like to have a Linux smartphone. but there seems to be none with good hardware…
Android uses the Linux kernal, so it is technically linux
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.
A de-googled huawei.
Honestly, i care less about the Chinese knowing what time i go to bed, when i get up and the fact i rarely leave the house, than I do having google knowing literally everything :D
F-droid for apps, nextcloud for my contacts, calendar, bookmarks etc

Pixel 7 for GrapheneOS
Fairphone 3(+, well it’s only half way between plus and non-plus)
running /e/OS (ridiculous stupid name)
it’s okay - but too expensive for okay
I wish Fairphone would release a version with antennas suitable for use in NA. I’d buy it in a heartbeat.
Galaxy S9 off eBay and put e/os on it. Can also buy them flashed https://murena.com/products/smartphones/
