    And that’s why I’m installing /e/OS in my Fairphone 6, and shifting to Linux based phones.

    Even now Google is removing everything that is a choice to avoid their massive surveillance machine, apps started complaining about removal of UnifiedPush:

    Fuck Google.

        NewPipe, PipePipe, Grayjay, brave mobile

        One of them generally works.

        The latest NewPipe is working for me right now. It only ever dies for a few days.

          It’s working, yeah, but it’s sideloaded installed outside of a washed garden, so it’ll soon be uninstallable.

            The inevitable end is when they bake the commercials into the stream, take away the skip buttons and ban accounts for timeskipping over commercials through other detectable means.

            The inevitable counter is we screencap youtubers, feed it through comskip, and produce commercial-free content and torrent it.

          Yeah, I was very happy that my banks app worked. Also, I found if I keep microg connected to the app lounge, then my bank app would not work. So I keep it set to anonymous connection.

          All mine work, so far, in Graphene, except Google wallet and i don’t need Google to see what I purchase anyway.

            Mine refuse to run in GrapheneOS. Everything runs except my banks’ apps and eBay. It’s a slight inconvenience but the tradeoff has been worth it.

            Edit: Thanks to [email protected] I got my bank’s app working under GrapheneOS.

              Have you tried the workarounds like disabling some exploit protections for the app? It can be finicky but sometimes it’ll make it usable

                No, thanks for the tip. I’ll try that.

                Edit: It worked! Disabling exploit protections got my bank’s app working. Thanks again.

      Welcome friend! I’ve been having a great time with e/os on my FP6.

      I recommend the lawnchair launcher if you don’t like the stock one.

        Yes lawnchair is a must have with e/os. I like what /e/os is pushing for but im puzzled on why they did this horrendous launcher and the way they change stock android look.

      I’m on an FP6 with iodéOS, very smooth so far, and apparently security is better than with /e/OS.

      I had to manually flash it though.

        I have a Jolla C2 with SailfishOS, it has Android app support based on AlienDalvik, and my banking app runs just fine there. I can use Nextcloud, etc. For my needs it runs great.

        Been using them for a hot minute, been rocking one flavor of the Linux kernel on my phone since the release of the Motorola Droid back in like 2009-2010.
