I assume everyone on Lemmy uses GrapheneOS on a Pixel 7 or LineageOS flashed onto a LG Tribute with zero Google apps, and everything backed up via nextcloud running on a headless Debian Raspberry Pie?

I’m just a scrub using stock Android. Am I the only one?

    I need an SD slot and headphone jack so I’m on a Motorola g 25. I got it a couple months ago. It’s pretty good so far. I chad an LG v20 prior to that.

    I have an old Realme GT NEO 3 with the stock ROM. There was no LineageOS ROM for it when I got it but there’s been one for two years now, so I may give it a try eventually.

    The camera is not good but apart from that, it works. I have Google apps installed on this one and use mainly Gmail and Maps. Maps is shitty but I also use openstreetmaps on the web through Firefox. I don’t have the YouTube app and watch videos in Firefox, with uBlock Origin, Sponsor Block and Video Background Play Fix. I tend to use the websites, or FOSS apps if possible through F-Droid. No weather app, I just go on the website with ads blocked. But I don’t mind paying for some apps that I use if they are useful and don’t have ads. Ads are the devil.

    And my backups are simple, using FolderSync connecting via SSH on my headless Orange Pi.

    S24 FE. I hate all the recent changes Samsung has been doing but this phone should last me until 2030 at least, probably more. I’m also the only person on Lemmy who likes OneUI, and I’m OK with that now that all alternative launchers are enshittifying.

    By the time I need to replace it, the market will probably be in an entirely different place and maybe even some Linux versions could be more viable.

    I use Immich, bitwarden, mega, and Tuta. Which covers the backup of everything.

    Still have an iPhone 12 mini. Will upgrade to like the iPhone 18 pro or something. I’m waiting until this stops getting software updates first.

    I use Ubuntu Touch on Fairphone 4 with Nextcloud backup (self hosted).

    We’re still working on publishing the results of the census we ran a few months ago (sample size of around 600, where most users were from our Lemmy/Piefed instances)

    Here is the graph for the phone question, exact numbers pending final cleanup:

    We will also be fixing the data labels to be less terrible

          so… no one is using that?

          I had assumed it was reasonably popular.

            I have no idea how popular it is but Ubuntu Touch and Postmarket have a wider device compatibility so I’d guess those will statistacally have to be more popular.

            Jolla is a niche within a niche and has limited availability last I checked. Which is a shame as they seem to be offering some sort of compatibility layer that seems to enable you to just install Android apps. I’d love to see that on the others.

    iPhone 16 pro…

    I mean work gives it to me… and I’m too cheap to buy a personal phone

    I had three straight Pixel phones die from random hardware failures on me in the span of less than two years, so I have high hopes for this Motorola/GrapheneOS collab.

    Currently using a Razr foldable. Which has lasted longer than two of the three Pixels put together. Stock Android. Would love to put LineageOS on it instead. Currently no rom for it and I’m not a developer.

    EDIT: For backups, I do it the old fashioned way. Periodic device dumps into 3 different desktop/laptop computers. Not optimal, don’t have the time or budget to do better right now. Again, I’m not a developer and frankly most of my life is not digital. The parts that are digital aren’t a huge deal to me if they aren’t airtight secure.

    As politics go, I WANT people to know that I’m for trans rights and body autonomy and that I think all republicans deserve the gulag. Please record my full name and details with my convictions on those issues and display them everywhere when I’m gone. I will NOT go down in history lumped in with the masses under “Why didn’t regular people fight back? Did they actually support this?” when this regime is studied in school with the scorn and ridicule it deserves. Anyway, I don’t put my name out there on purpose with that stuff but if someone links me to the causes I support because there are memes about trans people in my Google account, all the better. I wear pride in public anyway, might as well wear it in private.
