Interested in hearing everyone's experience using alternative phone OS's. Have you ever used Lineage or Graphene, Pursim, pinephone? Was it good enough to replace your android/iphone?

thanks for the detailed response.

having precise location is kind of important, but obviously how google goes about being that precise is problematic....

what device are you currently using graphene on?

No problem!

I got a pixel 6a (you need a pixel for graphene) and it comes with 5 years of hardware support from google which means it will be fully supported by graphene for at least 5 years. All pixels from 6 on come with 5 years while earlier ones only had 3 years

oh cool, thx

btw how's the battery life

Plenty good for me - over a full day with my use. The pixel 6a had bad battery problems when it dropped but most of those have been patched and ported to graphene
