Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

That's it.

I assume everyone on Lemmy uses GrapheneOS on a Pixel 7 or LineageOS flashed onto a LG Tribute with zero Google apps, and everything backed up via nextcloud running on a headless Debian Raspberry Pie?

I'm just a scrub using stock Android. Am I the only one?

Galaxy A14, which was the only new phone I could afford for 140 Euros (+ 50 Euros for the 512 GB microsd card) that offered the longest security updates.

Thought of getting an used Pixel 2XL and install (now defunct) divestos on it, but then the battery would be certainly dead and didn't want to risk replacing it myself.

Old-ish iPhone. Will be getting replaced with a FairPhone, I think.

I'd love to be using GrapheneOS, but I refuse to lower my standards to a sub-par device, and certainly wouldn't pay the Google tax for the privilege. So I'm currently using a Galaxy Note9 with NobleROM while hoping against all logic that the Motorola + GrapheneOS partnership doesn't spit out another useless wet fart of a device.

Same. I got it to replace my latest underwhelming Pixel after that was stolen.

I like the Z Fold 7 more than I had expected to by a lot, and I haven't even mastered the various features. It's kind of just like...a regular good smartphone but better.

Redmi note 13pro 5g with cdroid without google services or gapps

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

i have an iphone and a motorola android. both are about 3 years old

[–] GandalftheBlack@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago

Moto G 7 power from 2019. Since it's quite old there are limited options for alternative OSs, so I'm using e/OS. It has its issues but it runs perfectly well.

[–] MirrorGiraffe@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

I have a ZenFone 8 with stock. I love the form factor but I'm mildly annoyed that I can't uninstall certain apps and the QA is poor, never have I been forced to repair a phone this much.

I backup photos via immich, passwords vid bitwarden and run calendar, contacts, notes via nextcloud

[–] ChristerMLB@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

stock android on a fairphone 4 - I do use Syncthing for syncing, though

my Raspberry Pis are all resting atm, but I really should set one up with pihole and syncthing again...

[–] agent_buttocks@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

Using a one plus nord n30 5g with lineage os. It's a super budget phone. Looks like us one plus users are in the minority here.

Grapheneos on my pixel 9, perfectly complements my PC with Arch :3

[–] Alvaro@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago

GrapheneOS on pixel 8 (terrible phone, hardware-wise) backed up to nextcloud (nextcloud sucks, looking to switch)

[–] grinka@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

GrapheneOS on a Pixel 7

Currently using a samsung, looking to jump ship

[–] Sektor@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Xiomi. Sue me.

[–] TarnFan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I'm using a Samsung with an android os. I wanted an android phone but couldn't get my hands on one at the time, so this was the next best option.

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Samsung. It's not US nor Chinese.

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Company buys me a pimped up iPhone every two years. I’m due for an upgrade this fall again.

Can’t be arsed to buy a separate one, would buy a GrapheneOS supported one if that didn’t involve giving money to Google

[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago

Fairphone 5 with android, I'm contemplating moving to e/os but I need to take the time you do it.

[–] amorpheus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Realme GT 7 Pro

I've been quite happy with it, the package price is great while the software is much less neutered than the Xiaomis I've used before. Fast processor, gargantuan battery and the fast charging up to 120W without heating up the phone much is insane.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

iPhone 16 pro…

I mean work gives it to me… and I’m too cheap to buy a personal phone

[–] kepix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

an older xiaomi with lineage. i have gapps due to compatibility issues.

[–] Cellari@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

4 year old OnePlus.

It was a different time!

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Stock? Nah.

I have something like a dozen tablets and phones stacked on my desk. I get new ones, but the old ones have enough life in them that I don't just count them as ewaste and wash my hands of them. Only two of those have current lineage available, and I can't be arsed to update what amounts to a picture frame that isn't connected to Wi-Fi. The rest get used as security cameras for very short term use.

Most of them still have the os they came with as, again, I can't be arsed to fiddle with the ones that I could dig up a rom for, or they couldn't be unlocked to do it in the first place. But none of them were ever stock Android. Since when I got them, I favored Samsung and LG tablets, the ui was highly altered from regular AOSP.

Now, my main phone? My absolutely amazing friend gifted me a pixel with graphene ready to go as soon s it reached me. But I do still use some play store apps on it, when I can't find something good enough that isn't (nothing touches poweramp, and I haven't had the budget to put towards a licence for it from the dev, yet. Higher priorities).

Never touched a pi unless it was a pie being shoved down my throat.

Ngl though, if I wasn't lazy as fuck, I'd likely swap to lineage on my older oneplus that's my backup phone. Just don't feel like dealing with the time it would take. So it's as stock as it was when I got it a few years ago. I doubt I'll ever do it unless I get a newer graphene device and it gets retired to the desk for infrequent uses. That's how I end up with a still working Galaxytab 2 lol. Barely still working tbh.

CrDroid on 8 pro.

[–] NaClKnight@piefed.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Pixel 8 here, still running stock Android but rooted to enable a few apps i like and won't give up.

No plans to move to Graphene or Lineage
