Am I the only guy here on Stock Android? (lemmy.today)

I assume virtually everyone in this place is using some third party ROM. Many of you probably rocking Banana ROM off your Alcatel z657 bought at Boost Mobile in 2012.

But is there any simpleton here like myself who is on stock android? You know, the middle age dude who has "Privacy" as a hobby because he can't afford or have time for a real one. 😶‍🌫️

I have stock Fairphone, but disabled all Google Play Services and most proprietary apps, and replaced them with FOSS apps.

Idk how close this is to a privacy-respecting custom ROM, but I'm mostly just waiting for a good one. I really enjoy having the slide button to turn on Do Not Disturb. It's so amazing idk why not all phones have this.

I def want this working on the custom ROM I'm switching to in the future.

i was going to get a fairphone, but i think i'm going to get a nothing/cmf phone and start here as well.

later, i'm going to put e/os on it since they have this really nice wiki on how to do so.

...although I would have taken the degoogled version if I had known what the latest android was like.

So far just too lazy to install custom rom.

But I'm not sure if /e/os is worth it over LineageOS.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

how would lineageos be better?

[–] dysprosium@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I thought LineageOS had a bit more functionality and bigger community, and that /e/os is smaller and more focused on privacy as a single issue?
