had my doubts about it, but it worked! though i had a bunch of sim connection problems, worked after few reboots. multiple sims management is ass (at least on my samsung phone). i can’t turn-off one SIM and work with the other, the internet tab ui in settings just starts lagging ( and my connection goes out the window). i have to reboot my phone every time i need to change anything in my sim connections. and the saftynet bullshit with whatsapp. otherwise its much better than one ui in terms of performance ( and of course privacy (; )


I guess barely anyone does:

With /e/OS (based on LineageOS), the bootloader can be relocked on Fairphone, Shiftphone, Teracube, and Google Pixel, and they are sold locked by Murena (main developer of /e/OS).

Bootloader locking gives two benefits:
To be precise, the pickpockets don’t crack the phones, they sell to exporters, who sell to China:

On the other hand, I’m appalled by the indifference when users point out failures of e/OS’s core feature, privacy protection, on the forum:
Fake location doesn’t work on HERE WeGo maps, therefore probably many other apps:

Limited file access doesn’t work on PLAY’A VR Cardboard, therefore probably many other apps:

Tests failed again a few days ago on my phone with the newest /e/OS 3.4 A15.
Ok. I’m a heavy user of nfc payments, so I’m stuck right now.
I use Curve Pay with /e/OS.
I will investigate this, thanks.
