GrapheneOS
What's the advantage of this OS over regular Android?
You can disable network permissions for individual apps, which means no ads. Those spammy games that have a million ads suddenly are ad-free, no cracks or pirating needed.
That’s amazing, thank you
This
As simply as I can put it: Better optimization and no bloat.
CalyxOs is cool too
What does calyx to better than gos?
Wow, it is a 9 month thread, what a blast from the past. Well, to me, everything, because graphene os does nothing for me- it simply does not support my device. I am not going to buy a fresh new expensive google phone ... to degoogle. I am on a refurbished used phone with calyx, still getting updates, and very happy with my experience.
Nice
Yea, grapheneos is a tad too device fussy.
I should look into calyx for my ancient stuff
Basically any Android with unlockable bootloader.
And you should get Lucky Patcher if you want to pirate in app payments.
Unlockable bootloader is not nearly enough. You have to make sure that the Android ROM you want to use still supports it, and if possible also that it will keep supporting it for a few more years.
For longevity reasons, yes. But what do you need a custom ROM for piracy? Root helps with piracy, since it allows you to e.g. modify the /data/data contents of an app.
But what good would a custom ROM do for piracy specifically?
And if they just want streaming (as it seems in the OP), literally any android phone is good enough, not even root needed. I don't know of a single android phone that doesn't allow sideloading.
Pixel, maybe with grapheneos
I'm doing just fine with my Poco F2 Pro and Paranoid Android.
Poco F2 Pro and Paranoid Android.
Is this phone available in the US market?
Huh, not sure, it is a 2019 phone I think, I got it from a local website.
Suddenly; Radiohead.
