Give me a smartphone I can install with what I want.
- realusername 7y agoInstalling what you want is generally pretty easy, it's uninstalling what you want the main issue. Phones are coming loaded with bloatware you can't uninstall.
- noja 7y agoI want my phone like a PC: I can choose the OS with no weird outdated binary blob requirements.
- abawany 7y agoSome of the Android One phones still support bootloader unlocking. I was recently searching desperately for a recent-ish phone to replace my subtly-dead Note 3 and found that the Moto X4 Android One version supports bootloader unlocking (voiding its warranty unfortunately) and is supported by current releases of LineageOS (16).
- realusername 7y agoIt's pretty impossible to achieve even with a custom ROM unfortunately, even on LineageOS, you have a proprietary-files.txt for each model listing all the blobs you need to make your phone work.
