mrbn100ful··on On non-rooted Android 17, ADB uninstall of system apps fails
What does GrapheneOS have to do with this?

This is very useful on OEM ROMs with a bunch of scrapware, no one expects a custom ROM to have this issue.

mrbn100ful··on US citizen charged after GrapheneOS phone wipes during airport search
I mean, yes?

If 1% of iPhone users are criminals and 5% of GrapheneOS users are criminals, border search agents are going to be interested in your GrapheneOS mobile.

I am pretty sure criminals are more likely to use a super safe and secure phone that is easy to obtain.

YAY, let's build the same thing over and over :/

Did you know that before reinventing the wheel, you can ask LLM your requirements, and they can find the most suited already existing tool ?

They also have the Jolla c2 for 360€
mrbn100ful··on Jolla Phone (October 2026)
Yes and most people don't realize that the current "AOSP" apps are the LineageOS apps.

A true AOPS image is missing most core Apps.

The compositor is open (Lipstick) : https://github.com/sailfishos/lipstick

And OSS projet based on the SFOS core exist : https://nemomobile.net/, https://github.com/nemomobile-ux

mrbn100ful··on Jolla Phone (October 2026)
They are (slowly) releasing more and more components

https://github.com/sailfishos/jolla-camera

It's still more open than AOSP

Like Waydroid or Appsupport (only on SailfishOS) :p
mrbn100ful··on Jolla phone – a full-stack European alternative
How is it nowadays ?

I can't find recent demos of the phone, everything is a few years old on YouTube now, and I know the device is still in development.

How usable the browser and camera are ?

Can you get a full day of battery ?

mrbn100ful··on Jolla phone – a full-stack European alternative
Pinephone/pro

What else use main line kernel without blob ?

mrbn100ful··on Jolla phone – a full-stack European alternative
Not now, and probably not in the near future.

Don't buy if this is your main goal.

mrbn100ful··on Jolla phone – a full-stack European alternative
How so ? It's not like this is an Android Skin.

It's running a custom Wayland compositor and UI.

Still use all the Linux stack you expect (GCC, Wayland, SystemD, Pulseaudio, RPMs, Dbus ...)

Let us clarify here as it is very different indeed.

The Jolla C2 Community Phone is done in collaboration with Reeder, who is the HW vendor. This means Reeder sources the components, plans the production and does the manufacturing in Turkey. Jolla provides the complete software stack (Sailfish OS) which is installed by Reeder in the manufacturing.

In the new Jolla Phone everything is different. Jolla is the vendor, has designed the product itself, done the component sourcing and pays directly to the component vendors. We control the pipeline. Further, we have secured our position for the initial memory batch with advance purchase.

Also, to be clear: Reeder has no involvement in the new Jolla Phone.

Thank you for asking, very good points to clarify!

Buy a Xperia XA2 on Ebay for 180€ + 25€ for SFOS license.
mrbn100ful··on /e/OS is a complete, fully “deGoogled” mobile ecosystem
Not everything have to be perfect.

For some user, /e/ is more approachable (Friendly and colorful UI)

I could not get my mother to use GrapheneOS, /e/ is a lot simpler.

Still miles better than to use a Default ROM from most OEM.

mrbn100ful··on Pebble Production: February Update
Mind to share one of those models ?

Far has I know, pebble user have spent the last 10 years searching for another pebble without luck.

You can get a punkt phone, which does the same thing for a cheaper price, with custom hardware and a cool eink screen.

mrbn100ful··on SailfishOS: A Linux-based European alternative to dominant mobile OSes
Comparing Jolla to Nemo with the argument 'actively developed' is a huge stretch.

Nemo is a great project, but only build by one guy (neochapay) in his spare time.

Jolla still has ~5 full-time engineers and a super active community.

mrbn100ful··on Ladybird passes the Apple 90% threshold on web-platform-tests
Ladybird is doing it with 8 devs, and it's working!

I tried it on my m4, it's surprisedly usable.
