Sounds Paranoid Android familiar?

[86ul]

Hello fellow users of FairPhone,

Just hopping by to ask if one of you have heard or even tried Paranoid Android with your FairPhone: https://paranoidandroid.co/

I am asking this, because I am looking for another OS than Fair Q/FairPhone edition of Android 10. To build my own is yet one step to far for me at this very moment.

Thus just hopping by if Paranoid Android is a good alternative for my FairPhone3.

According to their own website under Download, the OS does not (yet) support FairPhone.

Welcome to the Fairphone communtiy.
I never heard anything about Paranoid Android, but what about the already working alternatives /e/ or Lineage OS?

Thanks, but I was a silent member of this forum for months, until now.

I was and am just wondering on the possibilities in OS’s, beside ‘just’ Android and iOS.

But Paranoid Android is (sort of) Android .

Paranoid Android, but what about the already working alternatives /e/ or Lineage OS?

As @Incanus says Paranoid Android is obviously Android and the alternatives /e/ and Lineage are also Android.

AOSP Android Open Source Project is the base OS from which all the above are derived.

I doubt you will find a non Android based OS that will work on the Fairphone or any other ‘Android’ phone

So the alternatives mentioned by @Incanus are about the best you are going to get.

However you can use Android without a lot of Google which is more what the alternatives are about.

I don’t need a google account, have disabled as much google apps as I can and could use the debloater options. I’m not paranoid but just can’t be bothered to support the google data gathering to the degree they would like, it’s just feels to demanding. So I presently use the stock Fairphone OS.

[Debloater + Google reducer] Unofficial Fairphone 3 debloat script

Introduction I’ve just put together a nice little debloater for the Fairphone 3. The script can be ran on Linux, Windows, MacOS and basically any other UNIX-like OS. Fist of all I want to apologise for the messy instructions and for my bad english. I hope that you understand everything. If you need help or have questions please ask them here. What does the script do? Limits Google apps (even replaces stuff like the dialer or the clock) Removes Qualcomm spying/“TeLeMeTrY” Replaces the YouTube …

Thanks for all this reply.

I have decided to go with one of these: ✏ Operating Systems for Fairphones

Yes, but I stopped with Jolla Sailfish as I had frequent reboots, also when shutting it down.

And now with Ubports V14 I have several apps that crashes immediately.
