i never had a smartphone ever. is there something like Archlinux but for android?

where i could only install shit i need? pls respond

>>57402453
How good is that crap? What can you do with it?

>>57402432
Cyanogenmod does not call home as long as I know.
Obviously if you pollute it with gapps and shit you are fucked buta s long you use only FLOSS apps you should be good to go.

>>57402507
B8?

>>57402446
>closed source stability
If only you knew

>>57402530
This. CM, no gapps.

>>57402571
I want CM but i dont want to fuck up my main phone

>>57402586
Why would you? I live perfectly well without gapps.

>>57402586
What does this even means?
If you bought your phone wisely (read as: you did some research before actually buying) you are able to install a recovery, backup your current ROM, install whatever custom ROM you and still keep the warranty.

>>57402530
I remember hearing some that a back door that phoned home was found in chromium even if chromium wa suposed to be free of tracking.
I can't trust google products after hearing that

>>57402614
I was stupid and was only looking at the price, i regret it and would rather buy a Nexus 5

>>57402432
Compile AOSP from source.

>>57402616
I feel you.
Google can't and should not be trusted but cyanogenmod is currently arguably the less cancerous phone OS.

>>57402586

Fuck it up in what way? It's one of the most stable ROMs out there.

Apparently there's something called KDE mobile. Probably even worse than Ubuntu tho.

>>57402720
Accidentally flashing the wrong Rom

>>57402917
Well then you try again. It is quite hard to brick a phone. As long as you have your bootloader, you are good to go.

>>57402971
It's an LG..

>>57402981
a*

>>57402679
what's so bad about the alternatives?

>>57402432

the baseband firmware on your phone has been backdoored for ages and you're worried about Google 'phoning home?'

Who Copperhead here?

>>57403868
Ha so much this.
I honestly believe the NSA etc lets people freak out over software red herrings, because 99.9999% of people have no fucking idea how hardware works. Backdoor the hardware and let people be paranoid about software. Genius.

Symbian

What could the NSA do with just the firmware?

>>57402988
You were correct the first fucking time, anon. Try pronouncing [LG] - {el-jee}. You should use "an" here.

>>57402432
>cyanogenmod is just an android fork that could call home anyway
How? In what way? There is indeed a stats collecting system in place, even if you don't install the GAPPS - but you do get asked whether you want to participate or not at install.

Oh, and install https://github.com/nvllsvm/freecyngn/

>>57403019
The alternatives are closed source shit (e.g. ios, windows phone or whatever it is called), CM forks or custom cooked shit made by pajet and posted on XDA.

>>57402432
Just use cianiggermod until legit GNU/Linux become available for tablets and smartphones

>>57412640
>until legit GNU/Linux become available for tablets and smartphones
So in the next century?

>>57402470
The lack of features makes it easy to develop

I can fork Ubuntu to any android

OP here
I'm still undecided.
cyanogen yes or cyanogen no? Plus nobody has named any good alternatives
