This is why we don't have such devices
You don´t have a phone?
It doesn't run anything from google. I run lineage os.
You could make the point that the service companies know where you ate all the time but that doesn't have anything to do with audio that I know of.
Good for you, never mind then. However, most people run preinstalled OS, so I just assumed you also would.
Honestly if you are thinking about your phone listening to you then you probably should look into running something other than stock. (You are not most people)
Good point. How complicated is it to install lineage OS on a Fairphone while also keeping/transferring my contacts?
It depends. What I would do if you are interested is buy a cheap damaged phone that is still usable and then flash it with Lineage. From there you can break things without causing issues on your main device.
Interesting, thank you!
you should be able to import/export contacts to a file, on most systems i think. also check if theyre stored on the SIM card itself, or in your phone.
I thought lineage os still uses google for stuff like push notifications? It just doesn't use the "Google apps" by default
You can choose to install gapps or not.
It does not. It is fairly close to AOSP with a few improvements to the stock system.
When I turn my phone's microphone off and say "hey Google" my phone doesn't respond in the slightest. Much more comforting.
If you really think your phone not responding means your phone is not listening ...
If you're tech-savvy, or are friends with someone who is, Run an open-sourced custom ROM on your smartphone. Problem solved.
Interesting, thank you!
If you have/get a Pixel you don't even need to be tech-savvy. You literally just plug the phone into your PC, navigate to the Graphene webpage and click "install" right in the browser.
I didn't say that, I said it's more comforting. Unfortunately I need my phone for work so I can't run a de-googled rom so it's good enough for me. And I never see ads referencing things I talk about.
I don't understand, how does running a degoogled rom stop you from using the phone for work?
I also use my phone for work (company profile, apps, 2fa etc) and it works fine on GrapheneOS.
There are 2 apps I use that won't work on graphine. I've been trying on my second phone and I can't make it work.
What apps? Some require some compatibility options to be enabled, Waze for example.
I LOVE GRAPHENEOS
I see! Whatever works for you :)
