Peace be with you, F-Droid Community. ๐น
As many probably know, Google will block Android starting 2027.
Here is my hope: Google has shot itself in the foot with this Darth Vader move, because many People who loves privacy will now switch to de-googled systems, because ( Since to my knowledge), the blockade won't affect those systems.
So this is just my Openion and my HOPE.
What's your take on this?
And I kindly say to all developers: Please don't register in Google.
There are so many people using de-googled systems now, including myself. Please keep going for us, and four you too. Please
Best wishes from Germany ๐น
Is there an alternative to Android and iOS in the US? I'm trying to degoogle but what other phones are there?
Graphene
graphene is android, just so we're clear. It like all other "custom ROMs" are just tweaked versions of AOSP
Doesn't that only support phones made specifically by Google?
Yes but you buy a second hand phone so you don't give money to these rats.
Buying a second hand phone with non replaceable battery is not a good idea. You'll have to charge it 10 times a day.
Not really. My grapheme pixel 10a second hand last 2-3 days

List of phones that support e/os

Others are coming from what I've heard, but yeah, currently only Pixels have the required hardware. It's still an awesome OS if you can find a decent second hand pixel.
@ITGuyLevi @brown567
e/os supported by any google pixel
Whether in the US or elsewhere, no, unless you're willing to make major concessions (like not having banking apps)
The best you can do is a de-googled android, but even that is getting tricky with some apps
