  What other hardware supports open source like Graphene?

    I want a fairphone 4 with either e/OS or Ubuntu touch. It’s still a little out of my price range though.

    I would love to run grapheneOS on my phone, but I’m not willing to pay Google to not use Android.

      Ok this is gonna blow your mind, you can buy used or refurbished Pixels

        I know, but I’d rather leave them to people who really want them, and support the people working hard to make open source products.

        And then you indirectly pay google as you fund the people who buy google phones every time a new one comes out.

        I never thought to flash a Fairphone with GNU-Linux. Glad to know Ubuntu has a working smartphone OS

    Check out /e/ and iode. If you’re looking for a phone with at least 5 years of support the only options are Pixel or Fairphone. Fairphone costs about 2x as much as Pixel for a phone with worst specs.

  I’m enjoying Graphene quite a bit and I really like the cameras on the Pixels. Also I’m restricted because only certain phones are compatible with my Dexcom glucose monitor and Omnipod insulin pump. I really wish I had more options, lots of other great phones out there.

    Yo, from one type 1 to another, get yourself some xdrip to replace the dexcom app, its miles ahead and more configurable.

    github.com/NightscoutFoundation/xDrip

    And depending on which omnipod you got, and how technical you are, check out AndroidAPS if you want an open source closed-loop solution.

    androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

    If you got the omnipod dash you can use it directly with AndroidAPS via Bluetooth.

    I use both of these with dexcom G6 and an accu-chek Bluetooth insulin pump, and its amazing vs the commercial solutions.

      Um. WHAT?! I’ll definitely check those out. I’m actually pretty frustrated with the Dexcom app and I kinda lied before, the Omnipod 5 app is compatible with the Pixel 6 pro but not if its running Graphene so I’ve been carrying around the Omnipod receiver. Thanks for the info!

        I can confirm rhe xdrip app works on grapheneOS, currently use it on a pixel 8a

      Sometimes in the darkness of the internet where all our worst sides come out and I get trampled by the evil of governments, corporations, and people in general…a small beam of light shines through illuminating the beauty of this world.

      Today, your comment is that beam of light. You didn’t mean it to be, but sometimes little things have bigger impacts. Thank you. Have a great day.
