https://locness.duckdns.org/links/shaare/vTepAg imo, must-read for those interested in aftermarket mobile operating systems

Besides DivestOS, the first sections include:
- an explanation of security support and updates on Android
- comparison and info about security updates in #GrapheneOS, #CalyxOS, #LineageOS, #DivestOS
- exposition of security-related and other issues in /e/os (#murena), #iodéOS, #Replicant, GSIs, and #UBPorts (#UbuntuTouch)

I've been using 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.3 for the longest time, but NextDNS looks pretty cool.

If you get a Pixel phone, #CalyxOS is very beginner-friendly. Well, the install process isn't as beginner-friendly as #GrapheneOS' web installer, but it's still pretty easy. Download the win/lin/mac executable and run it with your phone connected, follow the prompts.
Just make sure you have ~4GB space in /tmp for staging.
(I usually have to comment /tmp tmpfs from fstab when installing calyx)

I use TrackerControl on my kindle to try to keep things under control.

It's an ugly battle.

In contrast, using a de-googled android OS like #CalyxOS is so stinking pleasant.

@railmeat

Honestly, it's working so well now that the only thing I miss is in-app purchases. I could get those back with a different alternate Android OS (#GrapheneOS), but #CalyxOS fits my use case better, and I don't *need* in-app purchases right now.

Otherwise, I've got things humming along pretty well.

...

As of a few days ago, I've been on de-googled #Android for two years.

It's been pretty good!

#CalyxOS

@unixviking
1) You can choose to not install #microG at all on #CalyxOS.
2) If you chose to install microG you can activate oder deactivate its components to your liking.

@slembcke

Why don't you get a used unlocked Pixel 5a on swappa or ebay and throw #CalyxOS on it? Ungoogled Android makes five year old phones feel pretty spry, and the Pixels always had good cameras. You just need to install the Google Camera app to get the best quality pictures.

I know what it's like to be rushed into a snap decision -- that's exactly what happened to me a couple weeks ago.

@christopher

Honestly, when I got my $80 Pixel 3a and loaded #CalyxOS on it, I just thought, "Why did I just buy a Pixel 7? This little phone is *GREAT*!"

Of course, it's going out of support this year, so there *is* that. ;)

@christopher

I should do some blogging on it!

I tried /e/OS recently. It's nice, and has some features that #CalyxOS doesn't, but not so many that I wanted to switch my daily driver.

@greener77176 @LaKorin J'avais hésité avec #CalyxOS mais j'avais surtout vu que #GraphenOS était bien plus réactif sur les mises à jour.
Ce que j'ai perdu : AndroidAuto ... mais on arrive à vivre sans.

@arthurr @LaKorin pour ma part j'ai opté pour un Google pixel 4a5g (économique) et #CalyxOS.
Le 5g me plaisait bien mais plus cher.
Pour 150/180 tu en trouves des très bon chez backmarket avec un an de garantie.
L'installation de /e/ ne s'est pas bien passée sous /e/ d'ou #calyxos la 5G (fréquence) était un pré requis pour moi, le pixel 4 en 4G peut également convenir.
Je suis disponible en cas de besoin pour aider.
Je suis totalement libéré de #Google maintenant ( sauf l'appareil )

Might be time to get a new phone...may need to explore #CalyxOS @calyxos

If you are mad at GrapheneOS due to the last show. #CalyxOS is a great privacy OS for android. Been using it for a few years. Aurora, Fdroid, microG (if your into that), all work great. https://calyxos.org/

I'll have to remember to check out Trunks.

I just wiped my phone and installed #CalyxOS on it, so I'm trying to avoid having a fediverse client on my phone for a while. ;)

@gebrauchskunst
Sowohl #CalyxOS als auch #GrapheneOS sind als Stable verfügbar.

@alfora
"Tracking, Werbung, Spionage" war auch mein Thema. Nur dass es eben nicht beim OS und den dort integrierten Tools aufhört.

Wenn Du nach datensparsamen OS fragst, dann kann ich Dir #GrapheneOS oder #CalyxOS nennen, die sind nicht so besonders exotisch sondern auf Andoid-Basis. Damit (und deren Tastatur-Unterstützung) kenne ich mich allerdings nicht aus.

Ich verwende z.B. #SailfishOS (auch kommerziell und nicht 100% transparent, dafür aber ohne Datenabflüsse). Keine Ahnung ob dort die Eingabe chinesischer Schriftzeichen "besser" ist, als z.B. bei iOS, immerhin kann man unter "Texteingabe" vier verschiedene chinesische Varianten auswählen.
Und wenn dort jemand etwas "noch besseres" nachrüsten möchte: warum nicht? "Drittanbieter" muss ja nicht unbedingt schlecht sein. 🤔

Aber Du hast natürlich Recht: wenn man einem OS-Hersteller misstraut, dann sollte man ihn besser komplett vermeiden.

@TK @heiseonline @pallenberg

#CalyxOS.
I'm looking to migrate from #GrapheneOS.

I really like GOS's security features, but MicroG is just a better fit for me, and Calyx has some other minor creature comforts I'm missing.

I know diehard #Graphene fans will be disappointed, but guys... I love you. *Please* chill the heck out.

@tunubesecamirio @brohee @mo @r_a @snowakowski

Pour ma part je n'uilise plus ces sociétés qui ne nous respectent pas.
Ni sur mon PC sous #LINUX_Mint
Ni sur mon smartphone sous #CalyxOS
Ni à la maison plus #Apple, plus de #Microsoft, plus de #Facebook, plus de compte Gmail ou utilisation #Google y compris sur la domotique. Je fais mon propre service serveur. Amazon ne fait plus partie de mes fournisseurs. Nos gouvernements ne sont pas assez réactifs c'est à nous d'agir sur la consommation.

@divested @ianthetechie @joshthetechie

Do you mean that the Google Play Services library is actually loaded and on-device?

I haven't noticed that when I was running #CalyxOS.
