Like I don’t have space in my life right now to do a whole lot of actual tinkering but google is pissing me off and I just remember in middle school just being able to change the boot order in the bios and plug in a usb stick and a few hours later having mint installed. What’s the easiest way to get a clean de-googled os on my phone?
Since it keeps coming up, I have a unihertz atom, a moto g 2022 and one of these monstrosities
Extra bonus question, if I do wind up buying a new phone in the future what brands should I look out for? (But I’d like to keep using what I have until the hardware breaks if possible).
i can’t unlock bootloader of my phone, and can’t install custom rom, im cooked asf
knowing that the android’s ability to sideload/install apks is going be removed next year I feel like there’s no way out from the corporate greed
Actually what finally spurred me to ask this question.
If it helps it looks like that they’re backtracking on that but I’ll believe it when I see it
They said the same thing about ad blockers. There was a massive uproar that they were removing ad blockers and they said they’d allow them, then quietly blocked them anyway. I’ll believe that they’ll allow side loading when I see it
First thing out of hubs mouth when I mentioned hearing about it: “That was their only advantage over apple!”
It’s why I’m watching out for plans where you can build your own phone with off the shelf parts.
