I have already a degoogled phone on /e/OS which works pretty fine but I have red an article which said /e/OS is not actually very safe because it has very old security patches compared to AOSP which has is up-to-date.
/e/OS is the product of Murena company which is promoting their own stuff for profit.
Of course GrafeneOS would be better for privacy but I have a fairphone so it is not an option. What about CalyxOS ? It is more privacy oriented but now releases are paused. Do you think I should install existing build of CalyxOS for FP5 or install LineageOS and find a good DNS/VPN to block ads and trackers. This is a tool I like on e/OS/ to have a view on blocked trackers.
What alternative would you advice on AOSP ?
When CalyxOS went on their hiatus I decided to go with iodéOS. It’s French based and while it has some paid for features it is features you wouldn’t normally use in CalyxOS anyways so no loss for me.
The updates have been stable and good, lately however they pushed the update for the new Android version which require the bootloader to be unlocked so I have to wipe my phone sadly. But other than that they’ve been good until I can get CalyxOS going again.
Great ! Thank you for sharing your experience
