still better than ios lol
I want this too but I don't get how you can call something like LineageOS dogshit.
It works perfectly.
I'm a desktop user mostly but my phone feels like the more polished experience

i maintain that my pixel running lineage with microg and magisk and some other stuff is about the best experience you can have on a phone
It works with 0 issues 97% of the time and never annoys me, and i have basically complete control over the device.
For sure. One or two super paranoid banking apps but literally everything else works great with microg.
I've even ditched microg a few years back.
Depending on your usage it might not be an option, but for me it didn't make any difference
Sounds like OP was using an unnofficial miui port or smth like that

Yeah android has termux, termux is amazing, I run emacs in it and have all the power of org mode on my phone!
Yeah I am thinking of just don't care about phones. Just the cheapest second hand thing I can get for calls, sms, ssh, vlc.
Maps would be nice, OsmAnd crashes frequently (out of memory?) on the tablet I got second hand.
it's pretty weird that no company seems to have thought to just make a cheap minimal smartphone with a big battery and removable back cover, running a feature phone-esque modified android
feature phones just aren't really feasible to use for most people these days, but that doesn't mean the only alternatives have to be phones that try to wow you with 5 billion gigapixel AI enabled cameras
We need custom hardware imo.
Where would you even find a phone without a locked bootloader to even try this on other than a pixel, because, a google phone, to degoogle, really ? lol!
Interesting you should ask. It turns out that LineageOA has an entire page giving you options of compatible devices...
Volla phone has unlocked bootloader and ships with android or linux, some even have nativ dualboot
I have fairphone, it comes with unlockable bootloader. Don't get the new ones tho, they suck. 3+ was the last good model before they drank the koolaid and removed the headphone jack.
me too
Nah, /e/os and GrapheneOS rule!
Just one problem. Both are still dependent on Google and Android-based. How sustainable is that security model when a company has the say-so over whether you get to flash your custom firmware next year, or the next year, or maybe the year after that?
Right! just look how locked down android has become since the early/mid 2000's.
You don't even have full control of your sd card anymore (if you're lucky enough to actually have a phone with an sd slot.)
I'm an /e/os user and all I can say is even though it sucks the least among its competition, it STILL SUCKS! Not to downplay the immense effort put in by the devs and maintainers of course. Providing a privacy-respecting phone OS to ordinary people isn't just a good deed, it's necessary for a vibrant and diverse digital society. But still, we can all strive for better.

Gabe please make Linux mobile phone.
idk I enjoy LineageOS
Honestly I want Linux VOLTE so bad, the dream is to run sailfish os
I run SailfishOS and Australia mandates VoLTE now. It works.
Oh nice, I’m in America and stuck on Verizon for work. I really was hoping to see VOLTE hit the OP6T
