Curious what phones are more privacy-focused.

Moto g7 play with lineageOS 20 + microg + magisk delta I’m also running adaway and blocking all the tracker activities from my apps using app manager, and of course, using the most FOSS as possible for replacing proprietary apps. It works well, but sadly this phone won’t allow me to hide root and the locked bootloader, so no safetynet because of CTS verification.
Edit: if I use hardware attestation disabler on lsposed, it passes

Can you give a little detail how you are blocking the app tracking?
- Richard is a lemur ( @Richardisaguy@lemmy.ml ) English0•1 year ago
Both with adaway’s firewall and app manager to disable trackers, both applications are available on f-droid.
App manager will block most, if not all tracking activities off applications (Google ads, Google firebase Facebook ads, Amazon ads, and other nasty stuff).
If something passes through, it won’t be able to send anything to their servers as adaway’s firewall will be acting as a middleman blocking the addresses.
Microg also has a part in that, as it sends as little info as possible to google servers, so applications can’t properly use it to display ads, or track my activity, if they simply can at all.

A land line that I avoid using unless absolutely necessary. There is no such thing as a private cellular device.

Nothing is perfect. Even GrapheneOS has been accused of “sharing telemetry” by individuals (no source on that, just read random comments on different forums so you can probably ignore it).
Even without rooting your phone there are ways to degoogle a bit. I have a Crosscall phone (French brand) that is essentially vanilla Android with 4 OEM apps. I used
adb
to debloat it.I recommend doing this especially if you don’t have a Google account or don’t want to use the Google stuff. Saves on battery. Then thow on some of the standard replacement apps (qksms, OSM, whatever).
There is a slew of DNS/host blocking apps/filters (think netguard, blockada) or monitoring apps like Trackercontrol that help as well if you can’t root or put Lineage, eOS, GrapheneOS, Divest, iode, Copperhead, etc. on your phone.

I’m using a pixel 6a with GrapheneOs

OnePlus 8T, running Lineage with MicroG.
Probably not as privacy focused as some, but TrackerControl keeps some of it in check.

I bought a Pixel 7 for the sole purpose of GrapheneOS. I really have no complaints. It Just Works and I feel slightly less uncomfortable carrying a phone with me.

Fairphone 3(+, well it’s only half way between plus and non-plus)
running /e/OS (ridiculous stupid name)
it’s okay - but too expensive for okay
- Ruthalas ( @Ruthalas@infosec.pub ) English1•1 year ago
I wish Fairphone would release a version with antennas suitable for use in NA. I’d buy it in a heartbeat.

Lineage on Moto G7 Plus for years now. Degoogled for years as well. De-degoogled just recently for … reasons. And sigh it just feels … wrong.

Pixel 4XL with Lineage OS. It works mostly. The only issue I’ve had was saving DC metro cards to my wallet which requires Google wallet and didn’t work with this rom
