• Maru – Your phone is your PC

  This seems like an abandoned project with no updates since 2019 (!!) Those looking for a more active and stable project: ubports is carrying the torch forward on the convergence front. I have personally used it on my old OnePlus device and it was quite usable. 1: https://ubports.com/ 2: https://lomiri.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Away from Gmail, Leaving Gmail for Mailbox.org

  I found myself in a similar situation and also started de-googling, which is much nicer and liberating than I was fearing. I did the exact same thing with Immich (what a great software, by the way!). And in case it helps: Instead of always relying on google maps, I now mostly use CoMaps (https://www.comaps.app/). Way better than using directly OpenStreetMap. And for my Pixel 7, I switched to LineageOS with gapps... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Graphene OS: a security-enhanced Android build

  I have used LineageOS [0] for a few years on my old phone, and last year I got a Pixel 4 and I am using Graphene on it. Both systems work well and I am really glad they exist; Graphene gets extra points for its extremely easy installation process. Unfortunately it seems Graphene is already phasing out support for the Pixel 4 [1], so I'll have to switch back to Lineage at some point. The only technical limitation I... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• The Global Surveillance Free-for-All in Mobile Ad Data

  LineageOS[0] (and/or other non-Google OS)+F-Droid[1] (and/or other third-party app stores) allow you to avoid Google altogether. Which is nothing new. Is that possible with IOS? I think not. [0] https://lineageos.org/ [1] https://f-droid.org/en/. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• It Started as Fun, Turned Into a Calling...

  The ability to root my phone allowed me to customize it in ways I had never imagined. I found myself diving into the world of custom ROMs, experimenting with different operating systems for my device. CyanogenMod (now LineageOS) quickly became my favourite, offering a level of control and customization that felt almost magical. To flash these new systems, I had to install ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM), a process... - Source: dev.to / 12 months ago

• Ask HN: Non-duopoly smart phone in Sweden?

  Sailfish OS is a non-duopoly option. There are community builds for a wide range of devices, and official licenses which support a smaller number of devices but include extras including an Android compatibility subsystem so you can run Android apps which don't have Google dependencies (ie, a majority of them). https://sailfishos.org/ Lineage OS offers a Google-free Android operating system that also runs on a... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
