Will it run Graphene? Lineage? Calyx?

With the pure derp of Google my primary deciding factor is support for alternative OS images.

    I was under the impression with Google's new policy you'd still be able to turn off the unverified installations check (albeit with a 24 hour waiting period), in the dev options. Crazy that Google is trying to take away the one thing that keeps me using it over Apple.

    LOL are you me? I've only used Pixels since the 4a because the most important thing about any phone has become removing spyware and AI bullshit, and generally being under my control. And for that reason I don't buy anything else.

    But GOS has very high hardware standards that a small OEM could probably never meet. The best they can do is give it an unlocked bootloader and leave it up to the community.

    Otherwise the name is apt. There's very little separating modern smartphones especially the crazy high end ones. This seems like it would be "Enough" to do what people need to do.

    The 4a is the last good Pixel

    Do any of them even support stuff like banking apps? I haven't looked into it much personally because I always hear that you can't use critical apps like that on alternative OSes.

    Both my banking apps work on graphene. There's a list of ones that work floating around.

    Do you have a non–antagonistic setting, maybe? Your vibe-coders should look into that upgrade.
