#lineageos — Public Fediverse posts

Last week I noticed my phone had popped out of it's case a little bit so I pulled it out and cleaned the case, was wiping off the phone and something didn't feel right... the back was pushed off in the middle! So I ordered a new phone and and then decided to get a battery for the old one for a spare. Took about an hour but the back was already half off. I didn't put new adhesive on the back. LineageOS on this one, GrapheneOS on the new one.

First day of #FOSSY was great. #3GoodThings

1. Learned about @ultramarine GNU/Linux, a #Fedora based #GNU / #Linux distro. My only disappointment is that the OS uses #Discord exclusively.
2. #FSF #LibrePhone project is going well and is still making progress that will help #LineageOS, #postmarketOS and other #FreeSoftware mobile OSes.
3. @conservancy is selling #OpenWRT routers. Free routers are an essential item in every home. Don't let your ISP control your home network.

Can't wait for tomorrow!

General usage wise, I'mma be honest, it's pretty slow for 2026 standards even when modded with a custom rom w/o gapps. It lags a little on the UI, storage is limited to 16 gigs, and browsing the internet with Ironfox is fucking miserable cos of that Anubis thingy. Literally didn't think about old but still working devices

Disabling Javascript and large media elements seem to help a ton. The internet is dead and it's literally a bloated, stinking corpse of what it used to be.

What the fuck am I thinking about, lol. Anyway, software wise it's pretty much abandoned. Even on XDA forums there seems to be not much development or discussion happening with this phone anymore. Doesn't even have official LineageOS support and isn't even listed on postmarketOS so yeah :(

Sorry on5xelte, but you're pretty much forgotten by everybody else, but with you on my side, I'll take care of ya, till your battery gives out :)

@bmv Ich habe für den Scheiß 5€ umsonst ausgegeben, nur, weil Sie NIRGENDS angegeben hatte, daß man zur Benutzung dieser App außerdem noch einen Vertrag mit Google oder Apple braucht. Obendrein habe ich Tage gebraucht, um genau das herauszufinden, da beim "support" zumindest per Email erstmal nur eine KI mit Standartantworten daherkommt - und der Fehler in der App völlig unspezifisch ist.
Im Grunde hätte ich da gerne mein Geld wieder zurück, weil SIE es vermuxt haben.

Sometimes it just hits me how different my relationship with technology really is compared to others.

I've grown up in a family that valued privacy, and then my very first friend group from early on exclusively consisted of gay – later #trans – autistic furry hackers. I've never known a life of being careless about #technology and #privacy, and a DIY mentality wasn't counterculture, it was just the way #tech worked.

To me it had been completely normal that my phone would obviously have some #degoogled #LineageOS on it (or rather, #CyanogenMod back in the day). It was just part of the setup process. Same with some #Linux flavour everywhere.

Self-hosting services was just the way to get those services. I never had any cloud accounts anywhere. I had always been on my girlfriend's Nextcloud or e-mail infrastructure or whatever, later my own. I always self-hosted my game servers. My websites would never be on any random hoster.

This came with a bunch of habits and quirks I just accepted as part of the tech experience. I am used to not getting any notifications on mobile, for example. I always have cookies and site data disabled out of habit.

I don't buy smart devices that I haven't vetted and rather choose the 'dumb' version, i. e. an infrared remote instead of a bluetooth one. My first instinct when looking for software is to check the repos or the Arch Wiki/FSF Directory and such sites. I haven't used Google in forever.

All this isn't to brag or whatever at all, it's just to illustrate what my worldview is like and how I grew up. I'm not even super intense about all this; I still watch YouTube videos for example and I (have to) use some proprietary software, e. g. for work. I'm not RMS, yknow?

...

But imagine growing up like this, and now it's 2026 and you see someone use a phone. The sheer contrast??

I see people live a life where their most used app on their phone is now ChatGPT or Gemini or whatever. They use it more often than a search engine, they micromanage chats so it 'remembers' all of their emotions and thoughts. They ask for life advice, questions, make it write e-mails, everything.

They are on Whatsapp, Instagram, Snapchat, Tiktok and whatnot and actually use all of those features I've only ever heard of second hand, such as a "for you page".

They have YouTube accounts and actually are able to comment, like and subscribe – that's something that feels weird to even think about to me as someone resigned to passive use of such sites!

They have all the flashy features just available to them, like these live notifications, voice control, smart connectivity and whatnot that I accepted long ago I just "couldn't get".

It's such a different life to live, it's almost like a different culture.

⚠️ Don't update from /e/OS 4.0 to 4.1.1! The main reason is that @murena removed #Seedvault. They replaced it with their own backup app (based on Seedvault as I've heard) that only can backup to their own cloud! The problem with this is that you now have to pay for a backup, because who has a backup below 1GB. 🤷🏻

Yes, you've heard it right, #Murena goes vendor lock-in! It's now 100% clear that it's not about a Google alternative, but about their own payed services (what is just a customized Nextcloud).

There are also some other bugs, that only will be fixed in 4.2 or 4.3, but nothing about the Seedvault removal. So people can't choose their backup location anymore. Multiple people asked on their forum, but no definitive answer was given. See here: https://community.e.foundation/t/feedback-for-v4-1-1.

This is not their first time they messed it up. They also removed Material You, so they force you to use blue accent colours.

Hopefully someone knows how to safely migrate to #LineageOS or another reliable custom ROM for a #Fairphone 6?

Ich bin positiv überrascht, der Aurora Store hat mit dem neuesten Update ein deutlich hübscheres UI bekommen 🚀

Nachdem kürzlich schon der LineageOS-Updater optisch überarbeitet wurde, wirken Android-Alternativen zunehmend ausgereifter und massentauglicher, technisch ebenso wie beim Design 🤩

Верификация Android разработчиков: что будет с устройствами в России

Прошлым летом Google объявил, что на Android телефоны можно будет устанавливать приложения только от проверенных разработчиков.
Если на устройствах нет сервисов Google, можно не беспокоиться, но и на сертифицированных Google устройствах в РФ, похоже, всё хорошо (но это неточно).

Верификация будет работать не только лишь на всех устройствах:

- Сертифицированные смартфоны с сервисами Google (Android 8 и выше) – подпадают под верификацию по мере распространения по странам.

- Устройства без сервисов Google – российские и китайские прошивки без Google Play, AOSP без сервисов Google, кастомные сборки: верификация их не касается вообще. Нет сервисов Google – нет и проверки.

- Корпоративные устройства под управлением MDM.

Quiero hablar de la nueva actualización de Lineage OS, que está muy cool. Una de las cosas que más criticaba era la aplicación de actualización y ahora está hermosa, p$__( m#$_3, hermosa. Quisiera hablar más del tema, pero estos días he estado súper ocupado; voy a ver cuándo saco más tiempo. Vi unas cuantas cositas más; está bello todo.

Ich finde es doof und unverständlich, dass ich nicht in der lage bin auf jedem gerooteten gerät auch z.B. Ubports zu installieren.

Ich würde mir wünschen, dass #ubports #lineageos #Yollaphone #nothingphone etc. zusammen tun würden und eine art #Wrapper oder #VM Layer wo treiber und Quirks liegen. Also eine zwischenschicht zwischen individueller PhoneHardware + config file erschaffen, so dass man dahinter ein standardisiertes Image laden kann.

I apparently had reinstalled/wiped the ROM of a phone where I had previously installed play services and logged in. I swear I never enabled any find my phone shenanigans, but after reinstalling, I had a funny situation where I could install apps via "adb", but not on the phone, because of a "Secure FRP" mode.

Apparently the modern #lineageos recovery has a "wipe-frp" script you can run using ADB: "adb shell wipe-frp".
Bizarre anti-consumer features I swear.

Wow ... aktuell spielen sowohl meine Banking-App als auch die App meiner Kreditkarte komplett verrückt, nur weil ich ein "böses", angeblich unsicheres Custom ROM nutze 🤦‍♂️
Nicht mal microG kann die Apps besänftigen ...

Schon zum Kotzen, wie selbst grundlegende Dienste uns in die Ökosysteme von Google oder Apple zwingen wollen 🤮

Naja, dann wird sich der Kund*innendienst wohl wieder über meine lieben Anfragen freuen 🤷‍♂️ 😂

@kaschmir da ich mich weigere, mehr als 100 Euro für ein Telefon auszugeben, werfe ich mal jedes beliebige gebrauchte Billighandy in den Ring, das sich rooten und mit #lineageOs betreiben lässt. Oder ist das zu kurz gedacht?
