CIRCLE WITH A DOT

yeh that's exactly my point, it's not exactly a secret the community has been asking for this for years and FP seem to have just ignored it in preference to letting the community do all the heavy lifting

@nazokiyoubinbou @itsfoss

yeh that! ️

@nazokiyoubinbou @itsfoss

maybe I'll look at this again. thanks

@nazokiyoubinbou @itsfoss

ok the documentation gives another impression but haven't tried it. tbh sitting down and fiddling with my phone for hours to get it working is not enticing and that's exactly my point...many people want privacy out of the box

@petitmote @johnlogic @itsfoss

yeh I've been following the threads and maybe missed something but I thought it was the community that did this port and a bit finicky to get working well...?

@ma_delsuc @johnlogic @itsfoss

are you able to run apps on it? my FP4 just became unusable

@johnlogic @itsfoss

good for you. I had the FP4 before this and found it just slowed down and became annoying to use. granted part of that was down to me however when the camera stopped working completely I gave up on it. I don't want to spend hours rebuilding my phone and fiddling to make it work well but I do want privacy and you couldn't have both....but hopefully times are changing

@johnlogic @itsfoss

yeh I know but that means buying a new phone again. I'm on FP5 and probably won't buy another one cause they have missed the boat for too long on this and not listened to their users who have asked for a privacy based OS out of the box for years

@itsfoss

I have a Fairphone and the biggest gripe I have with it is Android. I still can't believe Fairphone haven't read the room and provided and alternative privacy based option out of the box without having to flash firmware and risk bricking your phone. this is interesting
