I do like this concept. I wiped my phone and will aim to buy one of these in the near future. Their aftermarket parts are very reasonably priced as well. What's weird is that they don't seem to even have a market in the US.

Lol yeah there was a step where you have to request a password to unlock the phone from Motorola and they just flat out said I wasn't allowed. I'm going to offer some tech guy $50 to see if they can figure out a way to bypass it haha.
This is honestly looking like the cheapest option for me. Will Verizon be able to activate it with a different OS on it?
I have been slogging through a similar process this morning. I came upon a brick wall when i found that I have to go through Motorola to unlock my phone. They simply denied me the privilege. I'm currently looking for a way around it. I have a Moto g7 Power. They have Lineage and /e/ for it but it all depends on this unlocking of which I cannot do unless Motorola gives me permission. Apparently there is a workaround called Sunshine but I'm really getting into the weeds here and they don't explicitly support my model.
I guess because it is a verizon phone and not a "global" phone, I'm not permitted to unlock the bootloader.
I am considering it. I would still like to browse lemmy on my phone though lol
Holy Moly. I guess because I have a Verizon and not a "global" phone, I am not permitted to unlock the phone. Capitalism has thwarted me.
Any recommended tutorials on how to install this stuff? Looks like Lineage is the most applicable to my phone.
Dude, it is SO going down. I really don't see how we are NOT about to get a nasty uppercut by COVID. Testing gets more and more scarce, precautions are all but abandoned, and it's all but absent from public discourse. All the while, it is definitely still present in millions of people and ever-mutating.
People are already poised to be panic buying food. I'm fully expecting there to be another run on guns and ammo.
lol nice. My current phone is on this list!
Damn. It's like $700 but a great idea. These are "de-googled"?
oooh! I can download this on my current phone and it may be and improvement?! Thank you. I will check out Murena as well.
lol yeah my country is the literal antithesis to ethical manufacturing.
