I'm looking to de-Google my Xiaomi Redmi A5 and I'm not sure which route to take.
Has anyone successfully de-Googled a Xiaomi Redmi A5? If so, which OS did you use and what was your experience like? @postmarketOS @mobian @linmob @ubuntu@a.gup.pe @ubuntu@ubuntu.social @omgubuntu

Hat es schon irgendjemand mal geschafft, bei #LineageOS mit #microG per Google Play Guthaben was zu kaufen mit der experimentellen Funktion?

Ich würde mir gerne für 2,49€ bei der DWD-Warnapp die Vollversion kaufen, aber nach dem letzten Mal klicken komm ich nur zurück zur eingeschränkten Version... Vielleicht muss ich doch mal mit adb debuggen...

Operazione resuscitazione riuscita!!
Ho preso il mio vecchio Motorola Moto G6 Plus che avevo seppellito nel cassetto cimitero degli Smartphone, gli ho installato LineageOS 22.2 (Android15) e adesso è diventato un fulmine, bello, aggiornato, scattante e cosa più importante degooglizzato, e tutto questo grazie all'Open Source!!! Dio benedica LineageOS, è tutto il mondo dell'Open Source. Un mondo libero dalla schiavitù è dalla dipendenza dalle Big Tech e possibile, è reale!

The stock music player from #LineageOS is quite nice...

But it seems to scour your entire disk for music, rather than just /Music

No, I don't want random crap you found in /Documents to be shuffled in with the music I've curated for 20 years.

How is there not a setting for this? XD

While the #LineageOS keyboard has become truly great (currently using it on #CalyxOS), I've got a place in my heart for #Heliboard, which is probably the nicest #FOSS #Android keyboard I've ever used.

I just have one little nitpick.....

What is that logo? I get that it's trying to look like a keyboard, and somewhat spell "Heliboard," but it's failing its secondary objective pretty badly.

Update: thanks to @nik, I now know that it represents a Helium atom! :D

Mon Oneplus 6 (de 2020) commence à montrer quelques signes de faiblesses. Je vais essayer de le pousser autant que possible mais si d'aventure il me lâche entre les pattes, je me prendrais bien un #Fairphone5 (que je préfère au 6).

Est-ce que l'un·e d'entre vous l'aurait sous #LineageOS sans Google et avec F-Droid ?

This chart shows just how powerful GrapheneOS really is. It is the only option (according to the chart) that can nearly completely deGoogle (remove all connections to Google).

OK, dang, y'all.

Just tried the #AOSP / #LineageOS / #CalyxOS-stock keyboard, and it has gotten so freaking good!!

It's actually giving #FUTO keyboard a run for its money, if you can believe that!

I think the so-called "Google Play Integrity API" is (one of) googles move to circumvent the DMA (EU Digigal Markets Act). Google simply tries to make key app developers, eg banks, public app providers, payment services, force users to have google play installed, where the DMA requires them to provide freedom of choice of app store.

GPIA basically deems android devices without google play services unsafe, as in "rooted".

In Denmark, it is rapidly becoming impossible to use banking and payment apps, in fact any app providing payment using credit cards, on android devices without google play.

Contact your parliament and eu representative and make them aware!
And please share!

A friend of mine texted me about the Shein app (Shein being a clothing store). He suspects there's AI in the app that uses the phone's camera to detect who's checking it out. So, when his 11 year old daughter uses it, it sends her pictures of pricey stuff (IE, $33 T-shirts). When he uses it, it sends pictures of cute but cheap things.

Targeted advertising.

Now, I have neither the app nor even Google Play Store on my phone. I use LineageOS & F-Droid apps. But, I figured I'd check out the Shein web site on my Fennec browser...

Eek! They think I'm fat!

#Poll: Hey #FOSS #Android (#CalyxOS, #GrapheneOS, #eOS, #LineageOS, whatever) folks, now that Android is demonstrably changing for the worse (in FOSS-hostile ways), what are you planning on doing?

Question : Qu'installe t'on sur des tablettes pour remplacer Android et Mac OS.
: deux tablettes Android bas de gamme et deux vieux iPad (+ de 10 ans)

Quelque chose de léger c'est juste pour les utiliser comme liseuse / browser et éventuellement galerie photo.
