It’s been a while that I’ve been thinking of getting a second phone, specifically a de-Googled Android phone.

Freedom phone.

FU phone.

To run “freedom tech” on. BTC, Nostr etc stuff.

Check out ronin phones. I listened to a podcast about them the other day. Sounded really interesting if you need a dedicated device🤙🏻

Is it possible to de-google an android phone? I remember I installed a android like open OS sometime ago but I don’t even remember the name of it but it wasn’t updated after sometime so it wasn’t possible to install it to current phones.

I’ve heard of Graphene OS and Calyx OS.

I’m curious about this

How does it work day to day: do you swap your SIM card from one phone to another ? Or you just use the Android phone without the sim, just on wifi ?

Yes. Just wifi for now.

Good to know. Thanks!

Check out slient link if you need connectivity beyond wifi.

Already use it on my iPhone whenever I need a non kyc phone line. Didn’t think of adding it to wifi only Android phone. Good idea. Thanks !

GrapheneOS is great, very easy to install and really reliable
