@KarnaSubarna it needs to be able to run Netflix, banking apps and McD app (has very high security requirements - hard to get working on LineageOS f.ex.
If it solves those - I think it could be hugely popular - as the first fully useable phone, for those wanting to regain control over their phone and data.
@ocean LOL. we almost never eat there - but I’ve just noticed its the one app that has the highest security requirements (and my kids ask if I have an offer from mcd they can use when we pass it :) - so its the only app I never made run on LineageOS (netflix etc. I got working fine). So its a good test.
@ocean and yes - its really absurd that my bank apps “just work” - but netflix (I get that with DRM crap requirements) and then McD has so high security requirements. really annoying MicroG can’t implement this - afaik because of google’s proprietary “security level” whatever check… but managed to “fix” enough for everything but mcd last time… haven’t solved it on latest LineageOS unfortunately :(
Annoying Chromecast is proprietary, really hope @EUCommission would look into monopoly of it
@ocean I’ve been using LineageOS for 7+ years. Always preferred full open source. got 99% working (all except that mcd app :)
I’d be able to move many to an open source app - but only those of us who can live with stuff like this - is going to use it, if it can’t support it. We really should fix these silly things, so we can run open source on our phones too - instead of our laptops only.
Wao, this is not bad at all. I wonder how it behaves as a daily driver. It would probably be easy for me to adopt as I don’t have a single mainstream app in my phone at all.

It needs to run the McD app… JFC…
Is running the McDonald’s app the “can it run doom” of FOSS Linux phones or are you just morbidly obese?

That’s quite funny that’s the case :) How’re you enjoying the OS? Do other fast food apps like BK work?

What phones have you been using it on? I’ve been interesting in a FOSS phone. I also don’t like that only my computers and servers can run Linux.
Just use browser If it doesn’t run in browser Then you don’t need it
I thought this was the first usable linux phone?

Thanks so much. This is really in-depths.
I’m very interested in this one, but would like to see it in the wild first to make a more informed purchase.
