      De-googled Android ROMs:

      Aren’t most of them de-googled? Usually you install gApps separately, unless that’s changed

      Non-android, non-apple smartphones:

      Not non-android out of the box, but just to add to your list: Ubuntu reports that nearly everything except VoLTE works on the Fairphone 4 and 5, but sadly they don’t support the 6 yet. PostMarketOS shows more issues

        I would guess that most Android ROMs are OEM ones that are not degoogled (and have the added spyware of Cellular Service Providers or phone brands), I’m not familiar enough with AOSP Stock Images to make a judgment on those, and the rest that I know of—which are actively maintained and have been around long enough brand-recognition that I trust them to be non-glitchy and spyware free—comprise the above list.

        If you got more suggestions, I will gladly add them to the list though.

        Ubuntu reports that nearly everything except VoLTE works on the Fairphone 4 and 5

        Oh snap, so is that UBPorts? I’m not sure how to classify that tbh, I might need a 3rd category that’s Linux Phone OSes that work on Android-focused phones. Actually, just looking at it rn and it looks like PostMarket claims to support over 700 devices…

        I got the Manjaro edition of the PinePhone, but then tried to multi-boot image. I wish it had been better, but the call quality was abysmal; basically required a headset to be tenable. It’s a great miniature computer, but a really awful phone. I’m hoping the PinePhone Pro is better, and it looks promising according to the forums, but I won’t get to try it for awhile.

        I don’t have them, they just come up in a search for “Linux-based Phone.” Please share your experience if you have the time! People need to know what they’re getting into!
