Curious what phones are more privacy-focused.
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
Not using the esim, but i am interested to know as well
You may read about the esim here https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play-esim
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
A pinephone with postmarketOS and sxmo
Oh cool. Do you like it?
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?
Removed by mod
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.

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.
Pixel 6 with CalyxOS.
Lineage on a Pixel. AOSP is great without gapps
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.
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 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

Fairphone with /e/OS. I also like the fair-trade and repairability aspects of it.
I’m using a Librem 5 as my daily driver
What carrier? Do voice calls work?
OnePlus 8T, running Lineage with MicroG.
Probably not as privacy focused as some, but TrackerControl keeps some of it in check.
