Graphene user, I highly recommend it to everyone I can.
LineageOS user.. here as well
Is there a mega thread explaining the main Android alternatives and their installations? Graphene looks like the best one but a google pixel is way too expensive for me and I don't have the specs to compile Calyx (I dont remember if it was calyx but one of them had a guide recommending mimimun 16/500GB)
Bought a refurbished 9Pro and put Graphene on it. I feel better how and at the fraction of the cost of a new one
Pick up an old used unlocked pixel on swappa and boom you're good. I think I picked up a 6 about a year ago for 100. It's great
I really want to buy a used one but I don't have a trusted local refurbisher and even then it would cost me at least 300 dollrs because of third world shenanigans
I've used swappa for years back to my galaxy8. Great way to get a cheap unlocked phone...much cheaper than phone insurance if your okay with a phone two years old.
Nah, use Ubuntu Touch instead....in about a year when it'll hopefully be usable and have more apps
Haven't people been saying that about every linux phone OS for decades now?
At this point the daily usable linux phone feels like fusion energy. Always just a few years away
