    And that’s why I’m installing /e/OS in my Fairphone 6, and shifting to Linux based phones.

    Even now Google is removing everything that is a choice to avoid their massive surveillance machine, apps started complaining about removal of UnifiedPush:

    Fuck Google.

      Welcome friend! I’ve been having a great time with e/os on my FP6.

      I recommend the lawnchair launcher if you don’t like the stock one.

        Yes lawnchair is a must have with e/os. I like what /e/os is pushing for but im puzzled on why they did this horrendous launcher and the way they change stock android look.

        NewPipe, PipePipe, Grayjay, brave mobile

        One of them generally works.

        The latest NewPipe is working for me right now. It only ever dies for a few days.

          It’s working, yeah, but it’s sideloaded installed outside of a washed garden, so it’ll soon be uninstallable.

            The inevitable end is when they bake the commercials into the stream, take away the skip buttons and ban accounts for timeskipping over commercials through other detectable means.

            The inevitable counter is we screencap youtubers, feed it through comskip, and produce commercial-free content and torrent it.

      I’m on an FP6 with iodéOS, very smooth so far, and apparently security is better than with /e/OS.

      I had to manually flash it though.

        I have a Jolla C2 with SailfishOS, it has Android app support based on AlienDalvik, and my banking app runs just fine there. I can use Nextcloud, etc. For my needs it runs great.

        Been using them for a hot minute, been rocking one flavor of the Linux kernel on my phone since the release of the Motorola Droid back in like 2009-2010.
