I was watching the software robot #claudecode driving #dotnetmaui ui debugging directly on my #Pixel7a running #calyxos via usb debugging. My first #android app is functional after one espresso and an americano. ☕️
Remarkable. After removing the "Log into Google" Nova launcher from my phone and using Quickstep, the default launcher coming with #calyxos, the battery seems to last a lot longer.

The battery of my mobile significantly lost capacity. Good thing I've a #fairphone. Replaced the battery without tools - awesome how long the battery lasts now!

Me from 15 years ago looks funny at me for buying a special phone to be able to do stuff like replacing the battery without tools. And he's SO right!

Thank you @Fairphone !

Now I'm looking forward to install a current stable of #calyxos as soon as they're ready. @calyxos keep up the good work!

Erst gucken, gibt es ein google-freies Android für das Gerät und erst dann das Smartphone kaufen.

Für den Normaluser gibt es in Kürze #Motorola #Smartphones mit #GrapheneOS

Siehe:

Motorola und GrapheneOS arbeiten für sichere Android-Smartphones zusammen

Nicht mehr nur Pixel-exklusiv: Der Smartphone-Hersteller Motorola und die GrapheneOS-Entwickler machen künftig gemeinsame Sache.

So is it fair to say that we should look into either GrapheneOS, e/OS/ or CalyXOS

Or are all these going to be locked down too?

#CalyxOS hat sich ohne Probleme auf meinem #Pixel8a installieren lassen.
Durch das Skript geht es fast automatisch.
#calyxos está volviendo a la vida después de cambio de integrantes. Ayer instalé la nueva versión (en beta) para probar. Mi único gran problema fue con la copia de seguridad de Whatsapp, que aunque aparece en la cuenta de google, Whatsapo me dice que no existe (y cometí el estúpido error se no hacer una copia local, que si hice con Signal)
