Some big news regarding mobile OSes:

First, Graphene OS has confirmed a partnership with a large OEM to bring support to non-Pixel devices (Snapdragon SoC):

https://piunikaweb.com/2025/10/13/grapheneos-ending-pixel-exclusivity-new-oem/

This is good news, but IMHO it only delays the unavoidable demise of free AOSP-based projects since Google is now finally pulling the rug.

Second, the FSF announced Librephone, an initiative to bring real freedom to mobile devices:

https://www.fsf.org/news/librephone-project

This is also good, but it must be taken in the right perspective: Librephone, as far as I understand it, is not a new mobile OS, but rather an initiative to open-source existing proprietary firmware blobs. AOSP-based open source OSes like Lineage, Graphene, and even /e/OS, will hopefully benefit from this initiative, by being able to replace binary blobs with open-source firmware. But they still remain AOSP-based solutions, and therefore bound to the Google ecosystem.

There are two problems here that really need to be addressed.

The first one is political. Legislators and citizens must come to acknowledge that a democratic society where the full mobile ecosystem is in the hands of a corporate duopoly is not acceptable.

The second one is technological: AOSP is not a fully free OS, it's a trojan horse, a trap set by Google years ago that is springing right now. We need to move away from Android and embrace full GNU/Linux solutions, or even something completely new, at this point I don't even care. I've heard good opinions of Postmarket OS. Any feedbacks here?

Say what you want about Richard Stallman, but he saw this coming.

Le mode Relief 3D de l'appli Cartes IGN : c'est beau, et ça enrichit vraiment la carte ! Par contre, chez moi sous Android ça rame sévère, le déplacement n'est pas fluide du tout. Mais fonctionnalité à suivre !

Excellente nouvelle, j'ai toujours adoré ces cartes 3D. Je me suis empressé de tester et malheureusement sur un FairPhone5 sous /e/os l'application plante après quelques seconde lorsque l'on passe en relief 3D et avant il y a des barres verticales (cf copie d'écran).
Dommage.

Hello tout le monde
Auj, une amie a reçu son Fairphone 5 avec #eos dessus dans une démarche #degafamisation. Mais après avoir allumé son tel, elle est tombée sur une App Lounge vide de toute appli. Et peu importe sa recherche, ça disait ça (voir photo). Elle a fini par redémarrer le téléphone et ça s’est réglé. Ça l‘a bcp refroidi et elle se demande si les bugs sont récurrents. En sachant qu’elle est pas geek, ni de près, ni de loin, elle veut juste un service qui marche. Est-ce un bon choix ?

Ontgoogled, maar niet ontgoocheld. Mijn Fairphone Gen.6 met e/OS ingesteld. Mijn e-mail en contactenlijst van het privacy-vriendelijke Mailfence, mijn kalender en foto's gesynct met mijn NAS in de woonkamer. En alle andere apps werken gewoon zoals het hoort.

Kleine bug: de Google Authenticator kan niet aan de camera om QR codes te scannen, ook al geef je hem de rechten. Dus een andere authenticatie-app gebruiken.

Vanaf nu heb ik alleen nog maar Google nodig voor Youtube.

A proposito di Android degooglizzato, e siccome siete di una reattività e disponibilità disarmante (🫶), non è che per caso avete un opinione su cosa scegliere tra Murena, Graphene e altre versioni di /e/oS/ che si trovano in giro?

Non le ho ancora mappate, ma ammetto che ogni passo verso la libertà da bigtech è talmente pieno di opzioni che mi sento velocemente overwhelmed.

Quindi chiedo l’opinione del pubblico-se ve ne siete già fatta una.

lol back in 2022 both Steve Bannon and Steven Cheung (the trump spokesman whose corporeal form resembles nothing so much as the horrifying outcome of an experiment with an ogre and a donut got terribly wrong) worked on #BrockPierce's senatorial campaign.

Brock Pierce, for those who remember, was the co-founder of one of the most infamous fully confirmed hollywood pedophile rings in US history and was arrested in Marbella in a house full of guns and child pornography prior to becoming a crypto evangelist. he co-founded #Tether, a massive crypto fraud called #EOS, blockchain capital (current owners of #Bluesky) and so much more. he's also tight with #Netanyahu's son Yair.

Men okei @pilum @fivrelden og alle andre norske brukere av #eOS evt annen ikke-googla Android på #fairphone

Jeg er så nær å kaste Android på dør nå, men vil først sjekke status på enkelte apper/tjenester:

* BankID - yay or nay?
* Vipps - yay or nay?
* DNB Mobilbank - yay or nay?
* Fungerende alternativer til Google Wallet?
* Funker Jottacloud-appen?

Andre hensyn å ta før man plopper over?

@Techaltar When will the FP6 finger loop back cover come available?
Does /e/OS Open Camera support 50 MPix camera mode (actual only 12 MPix)? Is WiFi MAC randomisation mode available? (not in /e/OS 3.0.2)
Thanks in advance.

If you think GrapheneOS isn’t private and secure, check out this comparison chart covering GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, IodéOS, /e/os, LineageOS, and Stock Android.

https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm

It shows how much more GrapheneOS focuses on security and privacy compared to the others!

Edit: GrapheneOS only supports Pixel devices because they meet the project’s security requirements, offering hardware features like memory tagging (MTE), StrongBox keystore, hardware key attestation, pKVM, hardened malloc, and more: https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices

Dites les mastonautes qui s'intéressent à la protection de la vie privée, j'ai vu passer ce fil sur Bluesky où le compte de #GrapheneOS accuse #Murena d'induire les utilisateurs en erreur sur la sécurité/respect de la vie privée des utilisateurs :

"/e/OS is extraordinarily insecure and non-private. "

https://bsky.app/profile/grapheneos.org/post/3lsr7l4xjw22i

Vous en pensez quoi ? Il y a des analyses fiables sur le sujet ?

After the transformation away from US services and products, it's time to go one step further.

As I have already announced, I will soon be replacing my Pixel 9 with Graphene OS with a Fairphone 6 with /e/OS from Murena.

Although I personally really appreciate Graphene OS and am an avid user, I'm not sure what the future will bring under the fascist Trump. As I said, he can force US companies to hand over data of European users or turn off their services for Europe with the stroke of a pen. Or whatever other stupid things this orange psychopath can think of. Pixel devices from Google are another point.

However, I'm still considering a Framework Laptop 12 for my future laptop because of its sustainability and reparability.

Framework? AN US COMPANY??? Yes, unfortunately there is no European equivalent in this field, but unlike software and internet solutions, I am relatively independent after the purchase. The worst case would be if I could no longer buy current components. But then the Framework would be just like any other computer, which is generally almost impossible to repair or upgrade. But I want to keep that option open.

And I hope - like the rest of the world - that the fascist and criminal spook in the USA will soon be over and the situation there will return to some semblance of normality. Hope dies last...
