GrapheneOS vs LineageOS vs CalyxOs vs DivestOs vs /e/OS vs iodé
GrapheneOS vs LineageOS vs CalyxOs vs DivestOs vs /e/OS vs iodé
So which on of these are better for my pixel 7a if we consider these:
i dont care about leaving the bootloader unlocked
i want customization to my os as long as this is possible
i hate google so i dont want any google things or google spyware (i dont use any google service)
i need push notifications for some apps (maybe microg or sandboxed google play services? idk)
i don't use esim or google pay so idc about these
i need A LOT of privacy and security to my data to the point that i want to block trackers for any app i use
i wanna use google camera as it is in stock rom but i dont want google spy shit. if i use a firewall would that be ok?
Note: i can sacrifice locking the bootloader and customization for my privacy/security/not having spyware on my phone
Thanks in advance!
Edit: i just saw that there is iodé (which sees app trackers and i found it interesting) plus CopperheadOS
Edit 2: THANK YOU ALL A LOT, your answers are the best, imma go with grapheneos and donate them also cause their job is the best
also i found this matrix for oses that helped me: https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm !!!
Edit 3: Deleted CopperheadOS from the title - no need to compare cause it's garbage (see comments)

Unfortunately pixel phones are too expensive for a phone. I went with a Galaxy A34 which is good, but no graphene os for me

I don't waste money on new phones, or new cars.
4 0 Replynot just too expensive, but designed to be hard to repair too. just look up the ifixit disassembly guide, it's horrible

4 0 ReplyInteresting, I paid the same for my phone. But I will keep it five years so it will be a less cheap pixel then

Pixel 8a was <400€ on black friday. I know not everyone can afford this, but even 5 years ago that wouldn't have been that much for a phone
