Like the title says. I’ve been reading recommendations about this OS, so i went to look on their homepage, but you can only install it on Pixel phones, which are from google, right? In other words, to get rid of google products, you still have to spend your money on google? Am i missing something? I thought there were other custom roms where you can choose whether or not to add to add google products? Please be gentle, i’m a noob when it comes to custom roms. I have had CyanogenMod on a phone many years ago, but someone helped me do it. And i’m really not current with changes in recent custom roms.
Buy the phone second hand. Not a cent goes to Google. From my understanding, they only support the Pixel line because it’s the most secure hardware or something. Someone more knowledgable will probably explain it better though.
Exactly, for example Pixels support a locked bootloader when using a custom ROM.
pixels are the only phones that you can lock the bootloader after you flash a rom to it, that is why grapheneos supports them, buy one second hand and not give your money to google
Thank you all for your replies. Good tip, it definitely makes sense!
Yes, you do. Sorry.
