  Not Fairphones. Fairphones are ad-free, bloatware-free and privacy-focused.

    FP4 user here. while that is true, any android ROM with google services on it isn’t privacy-focused.

    but i don’t want to miss out on clash of clans, so here i am using their bullshit spyware.

    Their mission is amazing but I’m not going to sit here and pretend any Google-laden Android isn’t also ad-laden.

      They are de-googled. They have replacements for pretty much everything, including email. You can import your google contacts to the non-google phone. The only google stuff on my fairphone is what I put on it myself. I can still download and run every app on the app store if I choose.

        Murena Fairphone

        That’s awesome, never heard of this! I was referring to the stock Fairphones, which are absolutely Google-filled. But if someone is reselling them with all that crap stripped then that project is for sure worthy of recognition.

  I would not say all some of us run Graphene OS with Google Play Services stripped from Android.

    Well, that’s fair. You’re an absolutely miniscule minority of Android users though

      That is very true indeed but my battery lasts for 2 days though because of it so I’ll call that a win.

        Tbh so does my stock Xiaomi. I don’t have a google account on it though.

  Consider most recent offering from china does not have Android One option, this statement is true.

  As long as your phone have snapdragon soc, most likely the community have made custom rom for that model. But if you want something more hardened out of the box like GrapheneOS, you’re out of luck.
