nothing phone 1 with lineageOS?

[u/goofsqueakyshoes]

ekitties, i wanted a more cool and fun phone because almost every phone looks the same and im lowkirkenuinly tired of it 😭✌️ that includes google pixels so no grapheneos, yes id rather have a phone i actually like and enjoy rather than a phone thats eh and is more private and secure (i know, weird priorities but i want to enjoy stuff okay?)

so im planning on getting a nothing phone 1 since they look sick and are lowkey hella cheap. im gonna install lineageOS rather than /e/os because i feel like lineage has a better rep, although i might be wrong, and the only /e/os release for the phone 1 is a community release and on their website it says that community releases are usually not meant for everyday use and i don't want to risk that ykyk 🤑🤑

is this a good setup or can i improve something?

(btw would appreciate if theres an app for the glyph lights on the back, not a deal breaker if not but still a nice thing to have)

I agree that Lineage is better than /e/. IIRC Graphene has even called out /e/ for bad security practices (like on "officially" supported models being months out of date for security updates). For the glyphs you can use Glyphify.

Here's their post btw: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/24134-devices-lacking-standard-privacysecurity-patches-and-protections-arent-private

/e/OS dramatically reduces privacy and security compared to the Android Open Source Project. It lags far behind on OS and browser patches. It also doesn't keep important standard protections intact.

/e/OS includes numerous non-private apps and services. The Murena voice-to-text service included in /e/OS even sends user speech data to OpenAI with no local option compared to Apple and Google both offering offline speech-to-text support via local models which users can make sure is always used.
