I recently installed GrapheneOS on a pixel 7 pro. Waaaay easier than lineageOS. As long as you have the drivers installed on your pc and opposable thumbs, it’s a breeze.
Problem is that I bought a 5a and had the screen die just out of the extended warranty and they wouldn’t help me out. Giving money to Google is always a mistake, never again.
Not saying people should buy Google phones, but I did replace my 5a’s screen with iFixit’s guide. Took one evening with no prior phone repair expertise.
That’s really nice to hear, lineage on a tablet a while back took quite a bit of work to get installed. Nevermind then having to get it able to load apps that needed Google.
Still a bit salty they gave almost no warning before retiring that image though, one month notice that they were getting rid of it was dissapointing to say the least
grapheneos, calyxos, lineageos, etc.
If these supported phones I actually wanted I’d consider it. Even better if they weren’t a pain in the ass to install.

The screen costs more than the phone is worth, so I didn’t bother with it.
I never buy new phones, only used on ebay after Christmas

It is Android based, literally have Google Play on their screenshots.
Still got to worry about firmware. We don’t own shit.
