• Debloat non-rooted Android devices

  > ...like LineageOS. But installing it is so difficult that only 1% of people have the technical know how to even attempt it... Aside: there is also /e/OS (or MurenaOS - their naming is inconsistent). It is basically LineageOS that someone else installs for you so you get everything in a package [0]. They sell many phones, but it also runs nicely on Fairphones if you want a phone that you can repair (there is of... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Even Google CEO Sundar Pichai doesn't understand Google's privacy controls

  Easy solution --- don't use Android. I haven't in years. I use e/OS instead. https://e.foundation/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Ask HN: Open-Source Mobile Phones

  There is /e/ OS - https://e.foundation - which also offers their second version of the Murena phone that comes pre-installed with the OS - https://murena.com They also sell other phones pre-installed or you can install it yourself.

• LineageOS is currently installed on 1.5M Android devices

  DivestOS is a slightly modified Lineage version that officially supports relocking on some phones (in contrast with Lineage, which I think can be relocked but explicitly tells users not to do that). It also has sandboxed implementations of both official Google services — ported from Graphene, I think – and microG.

• LG V20 as a "music friendly" daily driver in 2023 with Lineage OS (/e/ OS)?

  A step up in terms of privacy would be DivestOS but the only time that I tried to install it didn't boot and I didn't have time to troubleshoot why, but that's a really nice project that I would look again in the future. Source: about 1 year ago

• Pixel 7 vs Pixel 4XL

  If CalyxOS stops supporting a Pixel, the next best OS is DivestOS. It provides additional hardening that CalyxOS doesn't but it doesn't support microG. Source: about 1 year ago
