Habe nun seit fast 2 Wochen GrapheneOS. 🔒

Ich habe lange überlegt, ob es ein Fairphone mit /e/OS oder ein Pixel mit GOS wird. Die Neugier hat gewonnen, wollte schon seit Jahren gern GOS testen. Bin bis jetzt sehr begeistert, alles funktioniert und so manches sogar sehr viel besser als bei anderen OS. Vom Auspacken des Pixels bis zum zweiten Bild vergingen rund 20–25 Minuten, also die Installation geht sehr schnell, einfach und problemlos.
Mein altes Xiaomi ist nun mein Zweitgerät mit /e/OS mit Beta-Test. So kann ich weiter verfolgen, wie es sich zukünftig entwickelt.

Die Displayfolie ist nicht gut aufgeklebt, wie auf Bild 1 zu sehen, doch ich muss es sowieso austauschen. Da das Pixel den Fingerabdrucksensor unter dem Display hat, ist eine gute und sensitive Folie zu empfehlen, dass hatte ich beim Kauf nicht bedacht, da keine Erfahrung.

Nun bin ich erst einmal glücklich 🥰

I have bad news from CalysOS team.😐

"We will be switching to new signing keys along with the overhaul of the signing and verification process. As a result, current CalyxOS users will not be able to receive further security software updates until this process is in place.
Given the potential risk posed by the pause of maintenance and development, it’s logical that we stop providing options to install CalyxOS for now." - CalyxOS

Samsung’s One UI 8 may block bootloader unlocking globally 🔒

Users report the option is now disabled outside the US—where it was already locked—affecting custom ROMs & phone modding ⚙️

Line in the system code suggests this is intentional, but Samsung hasn’t commented yet 🕵️

Feature or bug? And what does it mean for user freedom? 🤔

The Verge · Samsung’s One UI 8 might shut down bootloader unlocking on Galaxy phonesBy Emma Roth

Uh-oh, looks like #Samsung is locking down their #Android phones by removing the option to unlock the bootloader starting withe #OneUI8, effectively killing CustomROM (such as #LineageOS) support: sammobile.com/news/say-goodbye

Looks like to be a worldwide change: winfuture.de/news,152535.html (German)

SamMobile · Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 gets seven years of Android OS upgradesBy Adnan Farooqui

Does anyone have some working download links for an "up to date" #Android #customrom for #Samsung Galaxy 4 Mini VE GT-9195I serranovelte? (note the 2nd i)

#fedihelp

Edit: found lineage-21.0-20240302-UNOFFICIAL-serranovelte.zip and recovery-twrp-3.0.2-0-serranoveltexx.tar

They work even if twrp warns about no OS being flashed and its a pain to get into twrp (tried it like 20 times and every time twrp gets wiped and I have to flash it via Odin again...)

Dopo ormai 8 anni di onorato servizio (e due batterie cambiate), è arrivato il momento di pensionare il mio attuale #telefono. Ho già qualche idea su come riutilizzarlo ma non potrà più assolvere al compito di dispositivo principale.

Per il sostituto, la mia scelta è ricaduta, in ordine, su #Fairphone, #Pixel e #Motorola (principalmente usati). Questi godrebbero anche del supporto di svariate #CustomROM. Cosa consigliate? Altri suggerimenti sono ben accetti.

Continued thread

And it was fine! I reflashed the official e/OS ROM and checked if I could safely relock the bootloader with "fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability" during fastboot mode. It booted :)
Now I got e/OS running!!! First thing I did was whether my bank app would run (wasn't listed in the documentation) but it is! Now I'm completely happy!

Next steps are installing and transferring all the stuff and installing a custom launcher.
