Hey Nice me too ! What os do ou use , mine is calyx . Also nice socks❤️

[-] Smorty 16 points 7 months ago

I chose Graphene, but i should have chosen Calxy aswell... How is your experience?

[-] felykiosa@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago

Well pretty nice except for paid app that don't work under calyx otherwise it feel reply nice to not have additional layer on android . (and no in app ads that s cool)

[-] Smorty 5 points 7 months ago

Really? Which apps don't habe ads anymore after the switch? I perdonally just don't use apps with ads (all apps from F-Droid), so this is rather new to me.

[-] felykiosa@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago

Well for example I use sync for lemmy in free version and I don't have any ads . but I can t use sync ultra because that an in app paid option , and since I don't have the google services on my phone that don't work.

[-] Smorty 2 points 7 months ago

Huh, never heard of Sync... But interesting that thus disables ads in these apps.

[-] felykiosa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

Sync was a popular 3rd app for reddit and I used it until they block it after that I came from reddit to lemmy when there was only jerboa . When sync for lemmy came out I re switched to it because I was more familiar with the ui .

fuck you verizon

Just carrier branded BS in general. I'm unable to install Graphene because of TMobile.

There exists an unexpectedly well made 4D minesweeper, if that sounds fun to ya

[-] Smorty 5 points 7 months ago

Eh, I like the simplicity of 2d minesweeper

[-] atmur@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Hell yeah. I switched from iOS to a Pixel running GrapheneOS a month ago and I've been loving it.

[-] draeneipaladine 3 points 6 months ago

Yay, gg for degoogled your phone ! GrapheneOS user here, on Pixel 6a. For now, I didn't have any trouble, even though I'm a fairly advanced Android user.

[-] Hedlosa 3 points 6 months ago

I literally gave my iphone away and went straight into pixel 3 and calyxOS, been loving it! Got termux, and therefore have zotify working on a debian instance so downloading music is an absolute brease :3

[-] Nisaea@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 7 months ago

Haj looks proud to have helped in the process

[-] Avero@feddit.de 2 points 7 months ago

I'm running Kenvyra (Lineage fork) on my Mi 9T, still with microg, but otherwise google free pretty neat and good for battery life :3

[-] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 2 points 5 months ago

Degoogled my pixel. I will use that after my surgery 😄

Or am I just weird for thinking it is a nice phrase to use for transitioning.

[-] Smorty 3 points 5 months ago

Do you mean it as in decrapify myself? If so, I really like that metaphor <3

[-] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 2 points 5 months ago

Yes, but also as a convenient way to not have to talk about certain bodyparts that tend to give us dysphoria.

Like: I feel so much better after my pixel was degoogled.
