Hey people! I was wondering if anyone here has heard of/ used Morena’s /e/OS and would be willing to share some opinions?
I was looking to get a FairPhone 5 sometime soon anyways and randomly came across the option to get it “without Google”
Which took me a bit off guard because I never really considered that something like that could be an option (without the hassle of rooting a phone and slapping a custom OS on it). So - is it any good? It says that you can still install most regular Android Apps. I don’t think I would miss any specific Google features, and getting a fresh start with a phone does sound nice.
“LineageOS stan”?? The same arguments go for any custom Android rom that doesn’t ship with Google Play Services or MicroG.
FYI, Since I personally prefer absolutely zero connections I didn’t approve of, I’m using a privacy-focused rom. I’m not even on LineageOS.
I love the complaining about privacy, after which you immediately share a google translate link. Was it that hard to find an English source stating LineageOS connects to Google?
Anyway, this doesn’t dispute any of my arguments. LineageOS connecting to Google by default does not mean it sends the same amount of data as a stock rom with Google Play Services. A user shouldn’t be discouraged in taking steps to further their privacy because it’s “not good enough”.
