e/OS/ on a Fairphone 3
Been rocking this setup for a while but I have been mulling over going back to stock Android. e/OS/'s implantation of Aurora app store is buggy as shit. Also it would be nice to have working NFC as well as a few other things too.
Still though, Google can eat shit so I might just stick it out on e/OS
The phone itself is fantastic though. Disappointed that the Fairphone 4 doesnt have AUX though. That or a working FM radio. Might sound silly but having an FM radio in your phone is crucial for emergency situations/ natural disasters etc. Would really really love to see Fairphone 5 implement these but I’m not holding my breath.
Same phone, same OS. For me NFC works fine, I routinely use it for yubikeys.I also use Aurora store, in addition to f-droid and the app lounge.
Do you ever have issues updating apps from the App Lounge?
Not really, and I would deserve issues, as I usually randomly update apps from whatever store I happen to open.

I also have a pixel 6, still running the stock Google OS, but I’d like to try Graphene OS… Is there anything that worked on the stock Google OS that you had trouble with on Graphene OS?

How’s battery life compared to regular pixel OS on it?

12-15 hours of use or screen on time?

Android stock cause I’m a basic bitch like that
12 pro max with the iOS 17 developer beta
Galaxy Fold 4, de-Googled as much as I can feasibly. Ideally I’d love to run GrapheneOS on here, but that’s not gonna happen cause they only support Pixels. I could switch to a Pixel Fold, but I also like the multitasking in Samsung ROMs. Maybe one day, if Google adds stuff like floating windows, I might make the switch.
iPhone 12 Pro with whatever the most recent OS version.
iPhone 14 Pro w/ iOS 17 developer beta.
Honestly, if NixOS ever comes to a phone in any real way, I’ll probably eventually switch.
iOS is solid as hell compared to Android, IMO and I have a love- hate relationship with swift; wish I could use Haskell for a native iPhone app.
Stock pixel 7. Happy with it. I hate ios. Everytime i grab my work ipad or have to use an iPhone i just cringe.
Redmi Note 9 Pro + LineageOS 18 w/ Magisk+root+LSPosed
Same phone, but using LineageOS for microg!
iPhone 13 mini I was on android since highschool and I thought iOS would be too restrictive but I wound up liking it and don’t see myself going back
Fairphone3 with Ubuntu Touch. I tried the Pinephones, but they’re not ready yet(!) as a daily driver. I have high hopes, though.
Have you used Ubuntu touch ? I would love some feedback as I want to move away from android. Kinda became boring now. Need a new OS like ubuntu or any Linux distro
I have used Ubuntu Touch for almost ten years now ;) I personally enjoy it a lot, the navigation feels a lot more natural than on android and Ubuntu just generally does what I want it to and not more, which is also a plus.
But, I have to mention I have relatively low standards when it comes to a phone os. I don’t use any of the popular apps for example. If you need e.g. WhatsApp or similar, you won’t find that there. I have tried using waydroid for a couple of things, but it is draining the battery fast.
iPhone 14 plus with 16.6 and I probably will keep using this the next 5-7 years (hopefully). I updated from an iPhone 4s, which unfortunately entertains some fishes (dropped into a local river, Isar).
LineageOS and I’d probably try SailfishOS again or Arch Linux ARM.
Fairphone 4 with iodéOS.
I considered Fair phone with Graphene but I am a US resident. I can’t order the phone.
I’m 2 days into trying GrapheneOS on a Pixel 7a and it’s been a great experience all around. I reckon I found my main driver for the next couple of years.
