@OpenSource @foss It would be great if we had a LineageOS/GrapheneOS image that would be similar to Linux distros where they could be installed on any Android phone and it would auto download/install all the drivers needed for the phone to be fully functional. I really hope there is some work being done on this in the background.
That’s in parts what is happening with #plasmamobile
And since Android is gradually closing its source, that’s probably the way top go anyway
aa
@ISOmorph I have not heard of plasma mobile. Can you suggest any links for videos or some write-up on plasma mobile that I can use to get myself familiar with it. Also, I would like to support this effort anyway I can. Thanks
It’s basically Linux/KDE for mobile devices. I can’t suggest any ressource in particular beyond what duckduckgo will tell you.
That’s not how it works… :(
@Oozy I wish it did :(
@LordChaos82 @OpenSource @foss Linux distros have a seperate image for each phone usually. (At least with PostmarketOS)
@QuadRadical @OpenSource @foss I use an Android phone made by a Chinese company via Kickstarter called Unihertz Tank. The phone has a 22k mAh battery that works perfectly for my lifestyle. I doubt I can find a degoogled OS for this phone :(
I have disabled all google services & use Fdroid for apps. I would love to use an OS that is privacy oriented like LineageOS or GrapheneOS. I would love to try Linux on the phone provided it is stable as most of my work is dependent on me being available.
GrapheneOS can be installed on any phone if the manufacturer wants to do so.
@BigTechBlows We know manufacturers won’t but us, as users, if we opt for any phone that is not made by Google, we don’t have a grapheneOS image available.
Please let me know if I am wrong because I would love to get grapheneOS installed on my Android phone.You are not wrong.
