          Direct replacement for Cyanogen would be Lineage. There are dozens of decent ROMs to try though.

          I still opted for iOS in the end. As much shit as Apple pulls, they did 6 year software updates when only flagship Androids got 3 and they aren’t generally trying to dominate the Internet.

            Nobody outside a select few know the real dirt inside the proprietary code that Apple puts out. Open source is the only truth that you can see for yourself. Apple is the antithesis of open source.

              I know, but as a software engineer, I just hate reading through other people’s code and I don’t have time for tinkering anymore. Apple’s ecosystem is convenient for me and that matters more now. Used to care more of course.

            Unfortunately you still have to give Google money to run Graphene unless you already have a compatible Pixel phone.

              I dont mind giving a company money for a product, then the transaction ends . What i don"t want is to buy a car then have the car sell my daily location to people.
