Interested in hearing everyone’s experience using alternative phone OS’s. Have you ever used Lineage or Graphene, Pursim, pinephone? Was it good enough to replace your android/iphone?

    use the Aurora store if you need google play apps.

    It creates a fake google user, lets you download the app with that fake user, then you can download that app from the google store. It looks like you download it from aurora from the front end though. I heard it doesn’t work for all apps, but I’ve yet to have issues with it.

      I do, what I meant was that some applications complain due to the Google’s Safety Net feature. For example, if I open my national ID app, it will say something like this device cannot be trusted unless I do things with Magisk.

      But yeah overall I always try to download everything from F-droid if I can, it is shame that even some FOSS applications don’t distribute their software there.
