In theory I wanted a Pinephone. That's until I saw it run GloDroid. So choppy it's unusable.
My next phone will be a Fairphone with LineageOS[1]. At least they're trying[2].

- mmastrac 5y agoI'm considering the Fairphone as well, but could someone give me a reasonable idea of what to expect with running de-googled vs googled? Unfortunately I still need access to Gmail and Drive from my phone on occasion. Is that still available when de-Googled? I'd love to have a full Android VM running on a de-Googled phone where I could sandbox all of the Google stuff.
- unicornporn 5y agoI've run Android Degoogled for many years. Gmail can be accessed via K-9 Mail or another mail client via IMAP. Google Drive can be accessed via a browser such as Kiwi or Firefox.
