>be me sick of Google's telemetry and Apple's walled garden looking into actual alternatives that aren't just "LineageOS with MicroG" memesI'm considering doing a custom GrapheneOS build for Pixel 9a to get more or less something a bit more privacy oriented and with only select apps, domain blocking at build time. Basically trying to avoid killing myself with goyslop. Post your setups and let me know your experience with Graphene build system or any other options.
>google phone>"getting away from googles spyware"
>>107613349Go on then, post your alternative.
>>107613452a linux computerphones are for cucks
Why not just run some apps using WayDroid? Do you really need a cuckphone?
>>107613642>>107613537Do you run a dumbphone or something? Landline? Virtual phone number? Do you just not use the internet outside of your home?
>>107613895yeah
>>107613339>Google hardware>EverYou are retarded.>What's your alternative to dying a horrible death by firing squad if you don't like my stick head in sand idea huh!?!
>>107614130Fair point on the hardware irony, but Pixels are basically the only option if you want a verified boot chain that isn't completely fucked. I'm not trying to escape some three-letter agency, just want fewer apps passively wasting my time and less Google Services bloat phoning home every 5 seconds.If you've got a better hardware option that supports proper custom ROM security features I'm all ears. Otherwise I'm just trying to build something that doesn't actively try to addict me to scrolling feeds.
>>107613339Don't bother with it too much. What are you doing on your phone, that's so important. My phone is a glorified music player with call and text functionality. I pay 5€/year for prepaid(that's the best you can do for privacy on a phone. I know it's not posibble in "land of the free") and keep mobile data turned off.I don't really believe that Google's hardware is inherently more evil than Qualcomm or Mediatek or whatever but their phones suck. They got rid of SD-cards on first gen Pixels when they were still common. It's designed for people to use along with other services like Google Cloud and latest android updates.The GrapheneOS guy(powerword: Daniel Micay) is a dick and a lolcow. There used to be projects like DivestOS(Lineage with relock bootloader and other added functionality) that mysteriouslt disappeared.
