Wanted to get a new phone since my S20 is starting to show its age. And with all the enshitification of Android lately I thought it'd be good to try a different phone OS.

However, I don't really want to buy a Google Pixel so GrapheneOS is a no go. I was really interested in the Fold 7 but it seems that will not be possible to get without Android. Thought DivestOS was good but it looks like support ended in 2024.

What other phone OS are people using?

The developers' response to the threads bringing this up with them were absolutely abysmal. They wouldn't even answer the question "does e send data to third parties when this feature is turned off" directly

    I'm not sure I understand the question. Why would it send data to anyone if the feature is not enabled? Are people implying a commercial partnership with a third party rather than using their API?

    Anyway the point is still that it's not OK to spread incorrect information, even if people don't like /e/OS or Murena.

    They didn't "get caught" when it's literally written down that they do it and it's optional, namely nobody does it except by explicitly asking for it. I know I don't. I don't even have that option like most people who use /e/OS and are not Premium Murena customers paying specifically for that service.
