Previously on Lemmy: Tablets

Let’s talk about deGoogling Android this week, since it’s a common topic of interest around here to talk about GrapheneOS and CalyxOS.

I feel like Google services has been lacking for the better part of a decade to the degree that I am reluctant to rely on most Google services nowadays. However, I don’t think I have the effort to actively remove all traces of Google from my phone, as the cost of bootloader unlock and rooting is a bit too much for me.

So, I would like to hear what your deGoogling experiences, since I’m unlikely to do it myself.

      Check your phone’s forum on XDA, there are more unofficial builds of lineage than there are official.

      Well it takes developers getting the phones before they can build an OS for it.

      I’m sure if you went on to the Lineage blog and offered to buy a new phone for someone to build with, they’d happily do it.

      Or at least Google Pixel funny enough. It sucks Oneplus became unfriendly to custom roms.
