You lose the spyware if you use AOSP (except any that’s baked into your OEM’s kernel blobs), but you also lose a lot of functionality. You can regain some by us

You lose the spyware if you use AOSP (except any that’s baked into your OEM’s kernel blobs), but you also lose a lot of functionality. You can regain some by using a community-maintained AOSP-based OS like Lineage, but chances are that a bunch of device-specific hardware/software features will still be missing.
- solardev 4y agoI see, thank you for the explanation!
- chopin 4y agoI am writing this from a Fairphone 4 with e/OS installed (AOSP based) and don't miss anything so far.
- chopin 4y agoTo add: my wife has a Samsung and can't add a shortcut for locking the phone on the lock screen (needed to enforce PIN) which the Fairphone enables.
