When i was considerong buying a fairphone, fairphones with e/os came up and wondered if it was a good option for privacy.

E/os can be put on different android phones my one plus included.

They also support Fairphone.

The point was privacy. Calyx has the philosophy that sending data to Google is good so you do not appear as unusual. But they forget that you can’t be detected by Google as an unusual user if you do not connect to Google at all.

CalyxOS comes with MicroG just as many of the LineageOS forks but allows you to disable it, among other options.

Options for running microG in CalyxOS

  1. microG disabled
  2. microG enabled, no Google Account, push notifications disabled
  3. microG enabled, no Google Account, push notifications enabled (default)
  4. microG enabled, with a Google Account
