Explain? Last I checked it supported Nexus and Pixel phones which both are made by Google

It's made by htc, the only thing Google about it is the software, but you replace that with copperheadOS

Made by HTC? I'm confused it says they're made by Google

What's a good rom for galaxies? I really only ever hear about lineageOS, but I see conflicting things about my phone (s8, g95ou1).
Almost makes me miss the uniformity of apple compared to what feels like randomness of androids.

Lineage is fine. Just don't install Gapps

>Youtube: NewPipe, Skytube
SkyTube is a wrapper around YouTube. NewPipe also streams from YouTube. YouTube is owned by Google, so alternative launchers don't mean that you're avoiding Google, since YouTube is their service. That's like saying using a pirated version of windows is avoiding Microsoft.
Same applies to Yalp Store.

Here's a fixed list:
>Play Store:
Fdroid, Aptoide
>Youtube:
d.tube, bitchute
>OS
PureOS or KDE Mobile. While you're waiting for Librem 5 use whatever you want just don't do anything personally identifiable on your smartphone.

Is there any way to avoid the play store? Or is that the only required google app?

>Aptoid, Dtube

Good suggestions..

>PureOS

Not for phones

Fdroid has a lot of good open source apps.

If you need apps which are only available on Playstore, you can download them through Yalp or APKmirror.

Many times the app developer also hosts the APK on their own website.

>Not for phones
It's the OS Librem 5 will ship with. It can be compiled for ARM.

Can Android apps run on Plasma mobile?

No

About micro-g, can I just install it and google services is gone without rooting etc?

I put all my ssh keys on google drive.

>Authenticator
When do you ever need this

>Aptoide
Proprietary

Soon™

>GNU General Public License2.0
>proprietary
Are you dumb?

Does microg stops that 'please install/update Google apps" shit? Apps run fine without Gapps this is pretty obvious in apps like 'Ampere" yet that damn popup always lies to you

>there's a exposed module for that
it's very outdated and does not seem to work in android 7

My phone is still under 1st year warranty, if I flash a custom ROM can I flash back to stock and it'll ne fine? Moto G5 btw.

you usually need to unlock the bootloader to root and install ROMs and that voids the warranty; it's different for every phone, but I've successfully flash back to stock, it was lengthy but the guide I followed was good

If you flash back the stock ROM your warranty will not be void

whats up with sailfish os? is it harmful in any meaningful way?

Is de-googling the same as de-fooing? Why not call it de-gooing?

> Recommended ROM: CopperheadOS

>Play Store: F-Droid, Yalp
>Google Play Services: MicroG
>Gmail: TypeMail, Protonmail
>Authenticator: AndOTP, FreeOTP+
>Youtube: NewPipe, Skytube
>Calendar/Contacts: DavDroid

>all this shit nobody uses
Why not get an iphone?

2FA

Sailfish OS 3 is coming soon. Will make it easier for ROM makers build it for various phones.

>protonmail
Sjw garbage. Enjoy getting your shit deleted for hurting someone's feelings.

Aren't OwnCloud and NextCloud very insecure?

Bump.

How is Yandex for mail?

They applied a gapps registration limit, then removed it. You'll still have to verify your device id

Yeah... Don't allow Google to have your data. Allows dangerous hackers instead. Yeah, no thank you.

copperhead was doa and will stay that way forever.

>first step is buying an Android phone and paying royalties to Google

nice one

They probably make money through android somehow, but device manufacturers don't pay a royalty to google for it

No, but navigating through it is completely retarded. It's almost as bad as Ubuntu Touch.
