They sell an official version with US antennas through Murena!

they sell the fairphone 4 not the 5. And while I'm not against e/os/, that's kind of neat for me I think it'd be awesome if they sold the original model with android with all of Google Spyware lol

The bootloader is open so you could throw Fairphone's Android on there no problem. I think they provide the files for that (didn't check so don't know for sure)

[–] Ruthalas@infosec.pub 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This is true. Hopefully they will soon sell the 5! I tossed lineageOS on mine, and have felt pleased with it.

Did you buy it from fairphone or are you saying you got the fairphone 4 with e/os/ from Mureno?

[–] Ruthalas@infosec.pub 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I bought the 4 from Mureno with e/os/ on it.

[–] Pattyice@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm curious what made you not like e/os/. I'm interested to try it if they do the fairphone 5

[–] Ruthalas@infosec.pub 2 points 7 months ago

I didn't have strong feelings about it, and had extensive experience with LineageOS. I just stuck with what I knew.
