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
A pinephone with postmarketOS and sxmo
How’s the battery life?

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.

Pixel 7 for GrapheneOS

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
Can you give a little detail how you are blocking the app tracking?
Both with adaway’s firewall and app manager to disable trackers, both applications are available on f-droid.
App manager will block most, if not all tracking activities off applications (Google ads, Google firebase Facebook ads, Amazon ads, and other nasty stuff).
If something passes through, it won’t be able to send anything to their servers as adaway’s firewall will be acting as a middleman blocking the addresses.
Microg also has a part in that, as it sends as little info as possible to google servers, so applications can’t properly use it to display ads, or track my activity, if they simply can at all.
Pixel 6 with CalyxOS.
Oneplus 6 with LineageOS!
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.
Galaxy S9 off eBay and put e/os on it. Can also buy them flashed https://murena.com/products/smartphones/
OnePlus 8T, running Lineage with MicroG.
Probably not as privacy focused as some, but TrackerControl keeps some of it in check.
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
So does he still develop for the GrapheneOS project? I wasn’t sure if he stepped down from just the social spheres or development as well.
Hoping it’s just social media management because the dude is one hell of a developer, but seems to get into beef with a lot of other FOSS projects, developers, and community members. I don’t exactly blame him though, given how stressful the herculean responsibility he took on must be.
Also hope he is doing well.
