I don’t like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

    I’ve been running FP4 for about 2 years now. the software bug fix cycle leaves something to be desired.

    for example, the first 16 months of my ownership had every single phone call screaming at me. I mean, the volume was loud enough it was quieter than the speaker phone.

    the did eventually fix that bug, but not two months later there’s a bug that breaks my running processes button(square at the bottom). as of right now there’s no fix other than using the OEM shitty launcher. so, 5-10 times a day I have to go to settings > apps > default apps > launcher > bliss launcher > running apps > settings > launchers > my launcher > close what I just had to use > go back to what I was just doing.

    I enjoy the phone, don’t get me wrong. I just wish they performed better software testing on their own hardware.

    I got the phone for the ethics, reparability, and privacy. I’ll never go back.

        Did this using iodéOS which is a LineageOS distro with more degoogling and os level adblock and filtering build in. Works very well and has been stable for about the 4 heads that its running on my FP4.
