#calyxos — Public Fediverse posts

@dayvblack I recently got up the nerve to flash #LineageOS on a Samsung A71. I wish I knew earlier that Lineage OS can’t do VoLTE on Samsung handsets. On the plus side, the process isn't quite so daunting now (and I have a #deGoogled device that can txt and surf the internet).
Like @artnacrea, I'm looking for a Moto G34 on which to put #CalyxOS.

#Sparkasse Apps werden inkompatibel mit #CalyxOS, #GrapheneOS und anderen alternativen #Android ROMs.

Offenbar baut #StarFinanz, die Entwickler-Firma, in alle Apps Dinge ein, die deren Benutzung auf alternativen ROMs unmöglich macht.

Sowohl der technische Support der Sparkasse als auch von StarFinanz behaupten, ihnen seien die Hände gebunden und nur offizielle ROMs vom Hersteller werden unterstützt. Ergo ist man als Sparkassen-Kund:in gezwungen, ein Handy mit Google-Konto zu verwenden.

2 deutsche Smartphones, die googlefrei sind, im ausführlichen Test bei die Zeit! Volla Phone Quintus & Shiftphone 8 (bekommt bald #CalyxOS) #VollaOS #eOS #ungoogled #googlefrei #UnplugBigTech #Shift #Volla #Shiftphone #VollaPhone #Murena #UbuntuTouch #Datenschutz #DeGoogled

You can contribute to the #freesoftware movement even if you don't know how to write #code here's some practical examples:

1. @beacondb & #Neostumbler

BeaconDB is community-driven wireless geolocation database that serves as a replacement for Mozilla Location Services (MLS), which was discontinued in March 2024.

why is this project important?

because #Google collects extensive location data tied to user accounts for advertising and profiling (even if you turn off location history) Google doesn't understand consent, what a surprise! :blob_rollingeyes:

BeaconDB will provide privacy friendly geolocation, allowing #degoogled #android ROMs like #CalyxOS and #GrapheneOS to be used without relying on Google (Google's location services)

Neostumbler is an #opensource android app, that collects geolocation data from wireless signals such as Wi-Fi access points, cell towers, and Bluetooth beacons, NS does not collect personal identifying information, only anonymized wireless signal data and it can be turned off at any time. (can't say the same for Google)

you can start contributing to BeaconDB simply by downloading and installing NeoStumbler, enabling GPS, open NS and start a scan, start walking or driving, and after you cross a certain distance, you'll see some generated reports, press upload to upload them all (you can also go to settings and enable automatic uploading in the background)

If you want to volunteer and help us free our phones, laptops and smart watches from corporate ecosystems (like Google's location services) and achieve digital sovereignty in the aspect of geolocation, take a look at these links
