Feels great having full control over my device, i removed all the OEM and google trackers/telemetry/spyware and replaced OEM apps with FOSS ones (SMS/phone/file manager). as soon as my device gets official lineageOS support i plan on installing that.

I had to pay a person on the XDA fourms $150 to do it, and voided my warrenty in the process, but i think it was worth it.

Anyone else here with rooted devices or running custom ROMs?

    Nice. My tablet is running LineageOS with root (so I can access my SD card like a normal filesystem). I'm experimenting with an app called UserLAnd which can install a GNU environment and graphical environment, for more of that "Real Linux" feel. It's probably the closest thing to ditching Android altogether.

    My phone is a PinePhone so I already have root out of the box.
