As Luke Smith already said, phones are designed to prevent you from doing what you want with them. They are built to keep the user away from actually owning their phone, and doing what you want with it. The mere fact that you have to go through the process of rooting your phone to gain some access to it tells enough

[Veshremy]

thank you mr outlaw, you're big brained for showing us this 🙏

Graphene = More security, but more compromises
Calyx = Fewer compromises, but less security
pick your poison

[delected]

I literally predicted this video yesterday after I heard you talking about FOSS de-Googled Android ROMs... tysm

[nerd_]

Until Linux phones mature further, this is probably the best in mobile hardware imo

[frankklimas]

Would love to see a step by step, since a lot of people, including me, that are less experienced can't really afford to fuck up with the root process and so we stay with the default most of the time. A step by step would be really great for some of us, less knowledgeable ppl out there. Amazing video, thank you ^^

[enricogolfen]

This channel is a blessing for newbies to privacy such as me. Thanks for the great information that you're sharing!

[pawekoaczynski]

I'd love to see a *based* video about best phones for custom ROM, with different price ranges, available OS's, etc

[inototen]

the main problem with smartphones is its lack of patterns, in PCs is mostly easy to format and switch windows for linux even if you don't know exactly what you're doing because some tutorials can solve problems in multiple hardwares. But phones not, every phone has a different procedure, and most of this alternative software won't work in most phones, the ones that do are really buggy or is just an abandoned side project, Calyx OS is just specific for Pixel Phones, that aren't officially sold in my contry, so its one more layer of pain that I have to go through if I want to use it.

[madcomrade]

I think I'm gonna test this on my old phone, to see if I want to switch over to it full time on my current one.
Thanks for letting me, and many others know about this!

[claxviith]

i used to LOVE installing custom roms when i was a kid. such good memories.

[nisn]

Really appreciate the detail of explicitly mentioning whether free as in price or as in freedom is meant.
Keep up the good work!

I would probably prefer to use graphene os for increased security but calyx os is better for the average person

[softer]

I am using SailfishOS as my daily driver. I have liked it a lot so far. It's mostly open source but it has some proprietary UI. Still pretty awesome and it has official support for sony Xperia 10 II phone.

[khaiphamba]

The CalyxOS seems like a good idea to protect the users' privacy, and I'm into it. The problem is, it is still in its early stage, probably using outdated Android versions. It has to be attractive enough for freelance developers to dive in and start improving it.
We all know that most excellent tect guys are working for companies like Google, Apple, ect., and there's been no sign that this is gonna change any time soon, at least in the name of better security and privacy.

[monkemode]

I've been using Calyx as a daily driver for a little bit now and the only gripes I have with it are the camera app and navigation, but I haven't looked a ton into either. Other than after you get used to some things it's not really more difficult to use than standard android.

[afallingtree]

i've tested both GraphineOS and CalyxOS and i have to say the former is only really recommended to those who want a phone that JUST does basic tasks (not even notification work). I personally see CalyxOS as the new gold standard as it does everything you'd want a phone to do.

[raysheavymetaldungeon]

Software security and privacy is something everyone should learn if they value their privacy, (especially from big tech like the vid mentions. ) another consideration should be security at the hardware level. I love that the pixel is great for roms....but its googles own phone. And now they're even making their own SoC's? You better believe the pixel 6 and up will be phoneing home to google regardless of what ROM you have installed.

[davidt]

As a conservative, I agree with your opinion of the "Freedom" Phone.

[andrewa]

I've been using Calyx for about 6 months now, not turning back 👍
