  1. Jailbreaking an #Amazon Echo Show 5 Gen 2 and installing #LineageOS:

    Looks like a lot of steps but it went totally fine. Now I have a cheap ($30 on Woot recently), albeit low resolution, dashboard display for #HomeAssistant.

    The article here is a bit out of date; the bootloader stuff is included with the jailbreak so you don't need to do steps 7+. Also, the buttons for selecting boot modes have changed.

    I'm about to buy a used #RedmiNote8T, the same thing I've been using since 2019, just to have a backup phone. Running #lineageos, I have exactly zero complaints, and as it's Android 16, it will be supported for years to come. Not to mention if some kind soul decides to port it to a newer version again.

    And props to @microg for their lineage builds!

  7. What's a good full physical keyboard phone with a headphone jack that runs android or can run an alt OS like Graphene or Lineage?

  8. I've been using the Fairphone 4 for the past month, since my old phone started expanding. (You don't want your phone to expand! 😱)

    It's running /e/OS (a deGoogled Android fork built on LineageOS), since Murena's the Fairphone's only US reseller. I like the repairability, but it's a bit clunky (not to mention an older model). Fortunately my bank apps work with microG, and once I signed into Google (I know, I know) I can use apps I've paid for. But it doesn't handle system-level in-app purchases (yet?).

    I've written up a pair of reviews with more details, one of the hardware and another focusing on the /e/OS software.

  9. Mein #Fairphone4 läuft seit Langem mit LineageOS. Regelmäßige Updates, Android 16, Security Patch Level Juli 2026.

    Seit Neuestem kann ich die TK-App nicht mehr nutzen, weil mein Gerät angeblich gerootet ist. Warum sie das glaubt, erfährt man weder in der App noch auf tk.de.

    Muss ich jetzt ernsthaft mein Handy rooten, nur um einer App dann vorgaukeln zu können, dass es nicht gerootet ist?

    Login über die Website funktioniert auf demselben Gerät problemlos 🤦‍♂️ reine Schikane

  10. Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 07-14-26

    Two consecutive editions of Pook-Emu Bee daily links? What in the world is going on here? 1. Sega Dreamcast driver fixes appear in Linux 7.2-rc3 — fabled console remains in favor while iconic computing architectures like i486 fall by the wayside (Mark Tyson for Tom's Hardware. July 12, 2026.) I mainly used my Dreamcast for playing Sonic Adventure, the NBA 2K entries it received, Pen Pen Trilceon, and a little but of Chu Chu Rocket. Missed out on Linux for Dreamcast (in fact I dare say I […]

  11. There is a big difference between the #Android on the phone you just bought and something like #LineageOS. That becomes obvious when you install something like #RethinkDNS (it's a firewall app). In the first you can see all kinds of weird calls to random servers from and on the second it's just what you expected. On top of that on Lineage all my #FOSS services don't get randomly killed or not allowed to update their status.

    On my TCL, it becomes frustrating, when it decides to kill the Fossify phone app and just locks the screen when someone is trying to call me. It also randomly tries to kill RethinkDNS, but I mitigated it by enforcing VPN. So, firewall or no network, sucker!

    I've tried to block the so called Google Framework service, but suddenly some apps started to misbehave.

    There was also a Facebook service (which is a completely different thing from the app), but unlike the Google Framework it does not make the phone to misbehave so I have disabled it.

    Also I've made  F-droid my main app store by installing its system service manually, because the package is broken. I hope someone fixes it.

    TL;DR: Whoever says, that there is no difference or that there is less privacy installing Lineage OS is lying to you.

  12. Got a weird tech question, and I'm not sure which forum to post it to, so I'll put it out into the fediverse ether!

    I use #lineageOS on a #Fairphone3 and most of my apps are installed via f-droid. But some are installed via #AuroraStore, when there isn't an fdroid version.

    I'm not signed into Google play on this phone.

    Most apps just work, but there are 3 which do a weird thing, and are unusable as a result - when they start they just spin out to a Google Play sign on page.

    What's going on? And is there anything I can do about it?

    The apps are:
    play.google.com/store/apps/det

    play.google.com/store/apps/det

    play.google.com/store/apps/det (I haven't tested this one recently)

  13. #UnplugBigTech Tipp 15: Android Custom-ROM

    Vermeide es, dein Smartphone mit US-Diensten wie Google oder Apple zu verbinden. Setze stattdessen auf offene, datenschutzorientierte Betriebssysteme wie GrapheneOS, die ohne vorinstallierte Google-Spy-Apps auskommen und dir mehr Kontrolle über deine Daten ermöglichen. Auch LineageOS, iodéOS oder CalyxOS sind eingeschränkt empfehlenswerte Alternativen, wenn du Google meiden möchtest.

  15. Viime aikojen spinoffina agendalla kääntää LineageOS Nokia 8.3 5G -puhelimelle. Onnistuin pari viikkoa sitten hard brickaamaan ko. puhelimen säätöjen jälkeen ja sitten palauttamaan luurin edl -moodissa. Samalla tuli opittua erilaisen kikkailut androidin asentamisen suhteen. Sain jo GSI-version LineageOS 21 version buuttaamaan luurissa, mutta kamera ei jekkase ja wifi pätkii. No seppä kääntää sitten itse käyttiksen.

  16. @Rockndoll Soweit ich weiß ist das #AndroidOS ohne Zusatz-Apps #OpenSource - von daher ist der Einsatz von #degoogle Android wie #LineageOS, #eos oder #GrapheneOS durchaus sinnvoll. Mit dem #FOSS Part von #Android machen Google, Facebook und Co sicher keinen Gewinn.Jedes bißchen hilft....

  17. Lilbits: Samsung Galaxy Watch FE, LineageOS for the Chromecast 4K, and a closer look at Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X chips

    The first laptops with Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus chips will be available starting June 18th. Over the past few months Qualcomm has released benchmarks and some limited details about its new processors, which it says offer best-in-class performance-per-watt. Now the chip maker has provided additional technical details for folks that […]
