I’m not buying a phone that rats me out.

Show me you have my back apple / android

[-] Bucket_of_Truth@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

They don't. If you're going to have a smart phone and don't want them up in your shit get LineageOS or GrapheneOS.

Only solution is an older phone with custom ROM

[-] Azrael@fosstodon.org 3 points 1 year ago

@hydra @Shartacus or a linux phone, with kaios / pmos. Still not ready for everyone, but I hope it will come soon enought

FYI KaiOS is spyware garbage moreso than stock Android w/ gapps. Download a GSI rom if you want to run stock android on most phones post Android 8.1

@stratosmacker ho I have learn about this system only a few days ago and had no time to look further. That explain why they advertise with so much google app... thanks for the info :)

Sadly not too many options where I live.

[-] Kureteiyu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

If there is a custom ROM on it anyway, why would it need to be older?

[-] hydra@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Newer phones are harder to get custom ROMs on and most of them don't have them.

Yeah, like a Nokia 3210i
