Curious what phones are more privacy-focused.

    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

      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

    Currently a Pixel with an anonymous custom ROM, although I’ve got a PinePhone on my desk I need to test more.

    Cell phones are incompatible with privacy. Any phone necessarily constantly sends your location to your cell provider just in order to work. But even if that’s true, there’s no reason to also let someone else be the remote administrator for a sensor node with a camera and microphone that you carry everywhere. Running a mobile OS with a universal backdoor is bad times.

    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.

    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.

    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

        There is no clue about him, because he hid behind the veil of his Discourse forum, where any question related to him started being censored shortly after Rossmann exposed him. He could very well be the guy under a new pseudonym alias, considering he has lied every single time about anything, and considering every mod and himself ran multiple sockpuppets to self promote GrapheneOS and witch hunt downvote brigade any critics.

    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.
