Was this recently? It was bad under micay but thought it had improved by now.

I run graphene on several devices and recommend it. I do not participate in much discussion about it through. You can just use the best we got in android and be fine with that.

Discussion forums are the same all over I think. I don’t see much difference around graphene here on Lemmy or XDA forum.

Do see this if you got a Swedish vpn connection , sorry could not find it elsewhere https://www.svtplay.se/video/84d7ad5/30-minuter/eu-kommissionaren-ylva-johansson?id=84d7ad5 Nikka system also completely destroyed her arguments , cant find it right now

I kind of followed Ylva Johansson on this issue and more. I am 100 % sure that what she was saying and what she belived is completely different. She is smart. She was also completely destroyed when confronted with IT security people. She is really in the pocket. Anyryone with some opsec knowledge knows it is nothing about child porn, there are millions of ways to distribute that shit either way

1. That makes no sense.
2. Vanadium have a different approach than trying to block it , blend in instead.
3. Gecko based browser have crap sandboxing
4. Again if you have 1 problem adding 1 more makes 2 problems.

Why would you use Chrome webview plus something else? You can’t replace just pile on. Not a good idea. https://grapheneos.org/usage#web-browsing

It’s only an attack surface minimation , security is better on new generations. I use all since I am in the middle of nowhere. If you don’t need it disable it, otherwise let it be

Proton riseup and calyx comes to mind.

I used adguard.dns before now I have VPN that have DNS filter. Disabling 2-3g minimize attack surface but just a small thing use 3 g if you need it. You can use both private DNA in settings and a free VPN if you want.

Start with the basics. Use a VPN preferable a good one payed in crypto /XMR or cash. Use Foss apps only check out F-droid.

Also one that blocks malware and ads. If not use adguard.dns or other that filter traffic

Settings , disable 2-3 G if you always have access to 4-5 G .

Don’t change add browsers use vanadium. No gapps obviously.

The more challenging is to just use it as WiFi phone without SIM.

Dualbooting is no problem just install windows first then Linux. If you can put them on different physical drives. Even if windows mess up something you can always access it by the boot menu. I have done quatro boot a decade ago without any major hiccups. Want to see what your hardware can do without windows dragging everything down? Try peppermint. But you can dual boot any distro

Pixel and GOS , very easy to install. Warranty blaha. Oneplus usually have a lot of lineage support. Spend and afternoon on YouTube , XDA forum and learn.

All of your brand’s listed are bloated. Samsung is really bad though.

Damn that do looks interesting. Ty

Thanks. yea simXL seems not like bad option , will check the esim statuson GOS nowadays. :( Seems the E- Sims have a 30 day limit…

Yea out of stock and lack of info though

Stealth.net sounds promising for topping up the card. Just USD Any other options for EUR cards?

Nope Spain has a green one

Thanks :) start selling on ebay seems to be a good business :)

Yea I’m looking in do network monitoring when first connecting the phone. Will need root it seems. But since I will install GOS and reset it afterwards it would probably be my best bet for verifying no bad connections . Long time since I used wireshark but should be possible.

Here I have to go to an office show passport , green card and sign paperwork . To get any simcard.

Actually no , Romanian cards are non KYC , one of the few countries left in Europe. I’m in another but can live with a foreign number

None worked in my EU country, edit cake pay does seem to work

I had a need for one piece of corporate windows program once. Installed Windows AME , only way to really get rid of all crap. All the debloating software and scripts get easily reversed by windows otherwise.

https://lr.burger.rodeo/r/LineageOS/comments/n7yo7u/a_discussion_about_bootloader_lockingunlocking/gxiz8at/?context=3 Basically relocking without your own key is a bit pointless. But yes stand corrected that you can use your own key , it will just be a headache to do it. And generally about the pixel it’s all about the titan chip. That makes it stand out. https://www.androidauthority.com/titan-m2-google-3261547/

With your own key? Nope

Signal with fake number. https://sms-man.com/?ref=qPLi0ekHzn_c is a good option , yea I added the referral link, remove last part if you wish. Or use a spare number , or wait until usernames are available , or matrix nexttalk and so on as already mentioned

I sell some info by using a cashback app. Since my purchase habits are swooped up anyhow

You need GOS for this, the function is called scopes combined with true separated user accounts. The shitty apps just get what I allow them.

You can buy Romanian cards on eBay , Vodafone works fine in Spain

Would love some info on where all this shit is located in the car. Someone should make a database of the different cars and how to block shit

Dacia, least bad one. Made a dedicated phone for the car without personal info as well. Rooted calyx OS , microG, organic maps and spottube. No simcard and VPN on WiFi. Not sure how much is still leaked but a lot better at least.

To use GOS ofc

Etar on f-droid

Yea , a bit is expected. But use wireguard to get better speed
