Why is Fairphone so close with murena and /e/ and not with other ROMs like Calyx and Iode for example? I guess this has to do with some financial thing or licensing stuff. As /e/ has the original FP6 Camera and also the Fairphone Moments app and no other lineage ROM has this pleasure :frowning: This…

Found an older link where calyx thought about this: Fairphone stock camera app (#2149) · Issues · CalyxOS / calyxos · GitLab maybe you guys are right.

Yet, installing or even attempting to install another operating system on a Fairphone, will void the warranty. So mind the gap. The gap between ads and actual tos.

I’m running eOS since many years and see not much ‘bloatware’. If the eOS bundle is still too much, use vanilla LineageOS and sideload microG yourself. The beauty of FOSS!

That’s right but misses my point: Well there is the huge package of all the murena apps that are not disabled easily and also not removable. Biggest amount I ever saw in a custom ROM without google at least. Also if you read my actual post, you see that it makes no sense to install LOS, because I …
