    @christiansblog You're welcome.Some notes : Rooting the device break the Android security model and GrapheneOS don't support root, you can build GrapheneOS yourself with root support.LineageOS use privileged MicroG and Ubuntu Touch is a disaster, going back to a desktop security model (probably even worse) is a huge step backward; it’s less secure than a 2013 Android KitKat device.Volla is a scam and sells unsecured and low-end devices with questionable services, for exemple, the Volla Phone Quintus sold for 719 euros is actually a rebadged Daria Bond 5G from an Emirates company that is worth between 160 and 170 euros without tax, shipping costs, etc. Volla sells low-end devices at the price of high-end devices.The Volla devices come with the hide.me VPN, which has never done anything noteworthy in terms of privacy, a cloud service with all the concerns that entails, AI, and more.Volla is also responsible for launching Unified Attestation, an illegal cartel in the EU aimed at creating a closed ecosystem as an alternative to Google's Play Integrity API, with the goal of imposing their deceptive standards and manipulating the market. The initiative has been joined by Murena and iodé, two other unscrupulous companies that also sell scams, deceive users, etc.LineageOS is the only AOSP-based alternative operating system I would recommend if the user cannot use GrapheneOS, because LineageOS’s marketing is nowhere near as problematic as that of the vast majority of other alternative operating systems, and even in this case, you’d probably be better off sticking with the default operating system, because LineageOS, even if it’s well-intentioned, is technically a step backward compared to AOSP.
