Comment on FBI Couldn’t Get into WaPo Reporter’s iPhone Because It Had Lockdown Mode Enabled
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 1 day agoDid a lot of looking into it, step 1 for me was always buy a different phone, or try seeing if a different ROM would work, and make the documentation for others…none of which came out to be 5 clicks, and not knowing if my phone will receive calls is a deal breaker if you actually work.

I didn’t get what you mean. If you’re happy with your current device keep using it if you think you’re safe in context of your threat midel. Less e-waste the better. For whatever reason you don’t want to change you current device and you’re not happy with the stock software you have the freedom to explore custum ROMs for your specific phone. That’s what I did. Sure this can be time consuming and not that easy. What do you mean “seeing if a different ROM would work”? For example with LineageOS (for MicroG also fixes device integrity), iodeOS, even something like Ubuntu Touch they tell you what isn’t working. What do you mean you have to “make the comumentation for others”? But on GrapheneOS and iodeOS is literally 4 clicks after turning on OEM Unlock and USB Debugging on the phone. On the top of that if you’re buying a new phone and don’t want so much choice GrapheneOS is only for Pixels. I don’t know where you live but to hear that you don’t know if you’ll resive phone calls is wild. If this isn’t a sign to change I don’t know what to say. Also you can always go back to stock and on Pixels is something like 4 clicks.
