I personally have been using lineage os for some time now and I am curious how many others use F-droid and lineage os like I do
Running GrapheneOS and it is very stable and reliable.
Removed by mod
I use LineageOS for years now, it works great but I should finally redo my install with Magisk and MicroG, some things that depend on root permissions and Google services would be kind of nice even tho I don’t really need them. Still, once you got used to a custom ROM phones without one seem fucking unusable, all that bloat and shit is just plain terrible!
“Downgrading” from a Samsung S22 Ultra 128gb to Pixel 7a, planning to run Graphene on it.
+1 for Graphene. I’m running it on a Pixel 4a 5g and have had no issues to date. All my banking apps work, although some with the gaps compatibility layer in a different profile.
Another one for LinageOS with fdroid on an older oneplus
I have been using custom roms since my first android device but the my current one(zenfone 10) cant be unlocked because they havent released the unlock tool for it…
Trivoization at its finest
Goofy ahh word had to google it lol
CalyxOS (MicroG) on the phone and crDroid (No MicroG or Gaaps) on the Tablet
my banking app works on the phone and Aurora Store helps to get Google Play apps if needed
Lineage with MicroG, too. Been using it for years. I love buying phones for less than 100€ and use them until they are dead. OsmAnd, Syncthing, Keepass, NewPipe, DavX5, Neo- and Aurora Store are so good. Banking works fine after hiding Magisk but I can’t get Deutsche Bahn app to work, so I still buy my tickets offline. Not big of a deal. I really love my setup, it took some time to finetune, but it feels great to use a 95% FLOSS phone.
Pixel Experience Plus on a Galaxy Tab A8.
I used all sorts of ROMs but like op I’ve also gone lineage although I am considering a pure Linux phone, once the tech and foundation are more stable as my trust for google has gone down considerably with they’re brazen walled garden approach in recent years, safety-net (soon to be discontinued as hackers/modders have found work a rounds , and another implementation will soon be added if not already… I don’t keep up to date) and other such tactics are going to make the custom ROMs and rooting very difficult and I joined the team android for its openness but google are constantly implementing APIs and “features” and all of a sudden I’m unable to access the apps that had worked perfectly before. But anyway fuck google. Go team foss
I used to feel the same way but now I’ve realized how mature android is compared to Linux phones. We should focus on developing free software replacements for google services such as push notifications. There are already plenty of free software apps for android that it makes no sense to start from scratch
Pixel 4, using a personal signed build of LineageOS with user build type (instead of userdebug, so no root) with gapps included.
crDroid on Samsung Galaxy s10. Running it for 4 months so far and overall I’m really happy. Sometimes I get Problems with high Battery drain and I haven’t figured out what the root cause is. But a quick restart fixes the problem and it happens max once a week, so I can live with it.
The only point of custom ROMs in Android is to remove Google stuff.
Its not like on a Computer. You dont really have alot of choice. You have to have someone maintain a custom ROM for your phone model. And two phones using the same name will not be compatible with each other.
I have some F-Droid apps installed, but there’s not an available lineageOS’ rom for my phone yet.
I have always been use a custom os, since Nexus 4 days.
Currently running SparkOS on my Xiaomi 9
