@SECUSO_Research bold and responsible decision, I've always been a fan of your privacy apps and want to thank you for the great work! May I also suggest to distribute your apps through Accrescent? https://accrescent.app/features

All my Android'ish devices now run #Android 15 with #LineageOS 22.2. None of them received any more updates, 2 of them for quite some time now so I had to take action. But it was quite a pain to get the device integrity stuff faked up.
But overall, I like Lineage for its sleek looks, being very fast without all the clutter (although I did inject some of the GApps). But I was able to cut some American cloud ties.
a few weeks ago, i switched the default launcher on my #lineageOS device from trebutchet to olauncher, a fantastic little minimal launcher.
no icons everywhere! it matches the 'less-is-more' vibe of my desktop.
@avoca @rl_dane stay with #LineageOS - if you want more security get #CalyxOS
Samsung semble bien décidé à compliquer voire interdire tout changement de rom sur leurs derniers modèles, enfin ceux sous One UI 8. Et cela ne semble pas contournable.
Une bien mauvaise nouvelle pour LineageOS ou /e/OS.

While the #LineageOS keyboard has become truly great (currently using it on #CalyxOS), I've got a place in my heart for #Heliboard, which is probably the nicest #FOSS #Android keyboard I've ever used.
I just have one little nitpick.....
What is that logo? I get that it's trying to look like a keyboard, and somewhat spell "Heliboard," but it's failing its secondary objective pretty badly.
Update: thanks to @nik, I now know that it represents a Helium atom! :D
One thing #Android custom roms lack is an easy tool to just generate and flash the required files for relocking the bootloader of the device.
There is this great post within the #LineageOS reddit that explains all of the challenges involved for doing it right now: https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/n7yo7u/a_discussion_about_bootloader_lockingunlocking/
However it would greatly improve security and there must be some way to just throw an already completed build (or even a full nand dump) against a script and "convert" into one that can be easily locked.
So, ein weiterer Schritt Richtung #unlugtrump und #dutgemacht
Handy mit #LineageOS ausgestattet, bewusst ohne guugl Services. Einige Dienste meckern zwar, funktionieren aber akzeptabel. Folgende Punkte stören mich aber sehr:
- Links zu Spotify, youtube etc. werden nicht korrekt verarbeitet, es öffnet sich nur der Browser mit Fehlermeldung oder leerer Seite
- #Geocaching APP nicht verfügbar. #cgeo_geocaching läuft zwar, aber die Kartenansicht geht nur mit guugl maps
- photoTAN von #deutschebank lässt sich nicht aktivieren.
Der letzte Punkt könnte das Aus für dieses Projekt bedeuten, ein extra Gerät nur für TANs ist mir doch zu blöd.

Said and done, I took one of my kids old unused OnePlus 6 to reflash into LineageOS for testing the above method and...
Just as suspected BankID couldn't have cared less about my abscence of login to Google and happily installed a new certificate on my new "kodebrikke", no insisting, filling out forms, booking appointments or anything ️

@stovis
This means that BankID doesn't really NEED Google Play Services actually!
So install LineageOS on a spare phone with GAPPS but without logging in to Google, get F-Droid, install Aurora Store and you should be able to install and use BankID no problem.
Honestly though- seeing everything I've written on this matter really makes me stop and pause to think about all of the steps you need to take just to avoid Google- it's crazy!
Mal eine Frage an Benutzer die kein Google nutzen. Ich habe ein #lineageos Handy und bräuchte eine nutzbare #navi Software. Ich habe #OsmAnd installiert, aber das hat mir.... Wie sage ich das nett... nicht ausgereift genug.
Gerade beim navigieren, es fährt teilweise riesen Umwege. Findet Orte teilweise nur mit PLZ. Sprache ist, weil kein Google TTS sehr abgehackt, wenn es dan mal funktioniert, was es meistens nicht tut. Und die Ansicht ist suboptimal, man sieht nur einen schmalen Balken.
Das mit den brennenden #Pixel6a-Smartphones scheint trotz Update kein Ende zu nehmen: https://winfuture.de/news,152547.html
Für Geräte mit #GrapheneOS gibt es übrigens noch kein Update, das den "Workaround" von Google übernimmt, obgleich ein entsprechendes Update noch kommen soll. Keine Ahnung wie die Lage bei #CalyxOS, #LineageOS und Co ist.

Uh-oh, looks like #Samsung is locking down their #Android phones by removing the option to unlock the bootloader starting withe #OneUI8, effectively killing CustomROM (such as #LineageOS) support: https://www.sammobile.com/news/say-goodbye-to-your-custom-roms-as-one-ui-8-kills-bootloader-unlock/
Looks like to be a worldwide change: https://winfuture.de/news,152535.html (German)
#NoteToFutureSelf The recovery partition from #LineageOS ALSO honers the wipe userdata flag when you do "fastboot oem unlock" and had the phone boot into it instead of the normal os.
Lessons learned Nr. 2
LineageOS doing that wipe breaks the Stock ROM for whatever reason and it gets stuck in the boot animation afterwards...
And it also somehow bricked getting into the EDL mode. It gets into the bootloader and doesn't start anything else anymore. - FUCK
The European union is developing an age verification app for EU citizens which relies on Google for verifying the integrity of the app.
This means users who run a custom ROM (e.g #lineageos, #grapheneos) won't access some EU resources.

Guten morgen mastobubble, vielleicht habt ihr Tipps für mich :)
Thema ist Handy, ich nutze seit Jahren mit LineageOS freies Android auf alten Telefonen, geht super. Aber es wird nicht mehr lange halten. Und (anscheinend) wollen alle Menschen da draußen riesige Backsteine statt kleiner Telefone ^^
#1: kennt jemand ein gutes kleines (<6 Zoll) Modell für #lineageos ?
#2: wenn schon groß, habe ihr Erfahrung mit dem #fairphone ? Groß, nicht billig, vermutlich gibt im direkten Vergleich bessere alternativen... Aber freie OS mit eigenem Store, reparierbar, langer support... Eigentlich alles Dinge, die mir wichtig sind.
So, now I’m getting treated differently just because I picked #GrapheneOS? In a so-called “free” world, I can’t even choose my own software without people lining up to judge me? That’s pathetic.
If my preferences make you so mad, that’s your problem, not mine. I refuse to let anyone shame me or push me around over my device choices.
Find something better to do than policing what other people use. I’m done listening to this hypocrisy.
wake up babe, a new cursed #LineageOS build has found its way to the world
LOS 17.1 for OnePlus 7T Pro, except that it's on OnePlus 7T which never got 17.1 builds
Professionals at work, totally not trying to bring up my 7TP Sailfish OS port on the 7T during some late night #EuskalEncounter33 fun.
