After all the controversy of Google limiting the apps you can install, adding SafetyCore without your permission, etc, I wonder... What's stopping us from grabbing AOSP and using it as a foundation for our own thing?Can you imagine Lineage and Graphene' guys joining forces and working on a safe de-googled alternative with FDroid, their own firmware database and a simple web-installer? I don't need fancy AI features nor GServices, all I want is something I can trust.
>>106419902We should as a country attempt to use HAM radio laws to create an opensource phone network for the community.I am thinking of someway that it could be profitable for the operator to generator some income for making the investment through blockchain and crypto.
>>106419902>Can you imagine Lineage and Graphene' guys joining forces and working on a safe de-googled alternative with FDroid, their own firmware database and a simple web-installer?Won't work because FOSS developers all hate each other
>>106419902I'll start making a logo and the CoC
>>106419941>Won't work because FOSS developers all hate each otherThe most genuine answer so far.
>>106419902>Can you imagine Lineage and Graphene' guys joining forcesNo, the graphene OS people are ideologues, you cannot work with that.
>>106419902>What's stopping us from grabbing AOSP and using it as a foundation for our own thing?Phones not supporting unlocking.AOSP no longer getting updates (have to do all security updates ourselves).Banking apps complaining about not being on official distros.Probably more shit that is current or would come soon after.
>>106420145Absolutely, especially with the ones from Graphene who are infamous.The real answer to this problem is postmarketOS.
