Stap 1 in project “overstappen van IPhone naar Fairphone met /e/OS” is gezet. Ik heb net via Marktplaats een FP4 gekocht.

Daar ga ik dan zelf /e/OS op installeren (hopelijk lukt dat) en die telefoon eerst naast m’n IPhone gebruiken om alles stap voor stap in een rustig tempo te doen.

Ik zal aantekeningen maken als jullie voor me duimen 💛 (best spannend)

@sandradejong leuk project, maar je had eigenlijk voor #grpaheneos moeten kiezen. En dus een Pixel toestel via Marktplaats moet kopen. iOS waar je nu op zit is veiliger dan /e/OS. Waarom? Zie hier: https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm

#GrapheneOS is safer, but it's also less #userFriendly than #eOS, AFAIK. Plus #eOS looks a little more like #iOS.

@ThePfromtheO @richarddebruin @sandradejong GrapheneOS is very user-friendly. If you need to turn on Google Play Services, it is easily done by just pressing the install button on the built-in app store provided by Graphene.

OK, but why did people say it's not, then?

One thing that reinforced this in my mind is its website. #eOS's for example, shows screenshots of the operating system, while #GrapheneOS's homepage only has one picture, and the rest is text. And I think you understand what kind of impression this leaves…

@ThePfromtheO @richarddebruin @gkcan @sandradejong GrapheneOS has the same user interface as standard Android 16 with minor adjustments to bring it in line with how the stock Pixel OS and other lightly modified forks of Android improve the style from the AOSP one. For example, we enable the typical rounded icons and rounded corners. It therefore doesn't look much different than the stock Pixel OS beyond added features. https://grapheneos.org/features provides an overview of GrapheneOS vs. Android 16.

@ThePfromtheO @richarddebruin @gkcan @sandradejong The reason we don't include screenshots is because they'd generally show very little and we'd need to replace them very often. GrapheneOS follows along with each stable release of Android. Android has monthly, quarterly and yearly releases. Both quarterly and yearly releases are major releases often making many UI changes. It would be common for us to need to redo them every ~4 months. The screenshots would mainly just show settings menus.

@ThePfromtheO @richarddebruin @gkcan @sandradejong GrapheneOS deliberately has a very minimal base installation with few apps and services included. We provide Accrescent and sandboxed Play Store as app store options within our own app store. There are no Google apps/services installed by default. It only connects to a small list of GrapheneOS services by default, covered at https://grapheneos.org/faq#default-connections. We see this as an important part of GrapheneOS: not bundling third party/services, etc.
