So an iPhone
No, stop using vanilla corpo software. They will fuck you again. Just put an aftermarket ROM on your android phone. I run LineageOS on an old OnePlus model. You can build it yourself if you're techy and paranoid, otherwise the tutorials to flash an official prebuilt image are not that hard for a tech-literate person, almost every supported device has a guide page on their wiki.
F-Droid for foss app repo
Aurora Store for anonymous Google Play login and installs
The whole point of this change is that you won't be able to use these anymore.
LineageOS will not be enforcing Google's new developer verification. Sideloading (Which really just means not using the Play store) will still be possible on such ROMs. Even for unverified APKs.
Tell me a phone with all the e features i want, and support for stuff like lineage and graphene And I’ll happily switch But i havent found any
I don't know what features you want, but GrapheneOS only runs on Pixels due to that team's specific concerns over hardware-based security, and LineageOS officially supports hundreds of phones.
I do run lineage on my old phone But i cant get “all” of the features i want after LG stopped its phone business
Heres the shortest summary: DP out, esim, some level of dac, under 190g, not released by motorola before 2023, not a 1000$
Honestly, iPhone is already there in shittyland. You need to jailbreak to do it, which you can host install GraphineOS or root your android easier for the same effect.
We need a 3rd primer mobile OS option, but won't get one since the money always enshittifies these things.
PostmarketOS
Ubuntu Touch
LineageOS (AOSP)
GrapheneOS (AOSP)
The most annoying part is the number of good mobile OSs we have already lost over the years to these two; Symbian, BB10, Windows Phone, and WebOS come to mind just off the top of my head. Not to mention the projects that have struggled for traction like Mozilla OS and Ubuntu Touch.
Edit: I misremembered, it was called Firefox OS, not Mozilla OS.
WebOS was nice
I still have my palm pre and boot it up now and then even though it will only connect to wifi, it was a wonderful phone and OS. I'm just so fucking mad at how that all went down and every time I turn on my LG TV and see WebOS it legit hurts
Synergy was magical!
Maemo/meego was better than all those IMO. It still half lives on in sailfish but had Nokia not been burned it could've been a true Goliath that could compete.
Jolla looks somewhat interesting, it's a shame they produce so few devices.
I thought they allowed app installs outside of the app store now? I haven't had an iOS device for about 10 years but the few things I hear it feels like iOS is moving more towards openness while Android is quickly moving towards a closed environment and what iOS used to be in that meaning. I also think Google has been real bad with tracking and shit than Apple has ever been. Obviously both Google (or Alphabet or whatever) and Apple are absolutely not good in any way about any of this, just saying to make it clear I'm not siding with either.
Apple "lets" you make a dev account to install an app (side load) from something like iloader and sidestore/altstore, but you are limited to installing a handful of apps and each app only works for 7 days after which you have to redo the whole process. Side loading on apple is a PITA. I recently tried helping do this and hate the entire process, it should be more like android. Not that android is perfect, because I personally believe you should be able to install any app or OS on any device.
should be more like arch.
