We're not allow to connect our phones to the network at work unless they are running an approved OS. Apple and Google are not (European parent company rules), but /e/OS is.

Installation was not nearly as onerous as I expected. I have bricked phones, so I'm always nervous.

I've seen some poorly executed custom ROMs, so I was bracing for something terrible but it's really quite awesome, particularly for my primary purpose as a PDA but with call/text capability.

Right now, I run it on an old Pixel, but I will make it my daily driver on my next phone. Very pleasantly surprised. 🙂

the best smartphone os with good app support.
mostly degoogled and with micro G implementation.
It runs well on a rooted motorola One action and natively on murena fairpfone 4
Its my only smartphone os since ~2 years, and i newer regretted the change.
Built in features like app tracker blocking, fake geolocation, hide IP helps to test what some apps really need to function properly.
App Lounge (built in App store) has apps from multiple sources including the play store with additional security rating.
natively the are no Google payment .

Hi, I started e/OS as an experiment to reuse my daughters old sony-smartphone (Model I3113), after she stopped using it, due to heavy battery usage, and she bougt herself a new smartphone. After about 3 weeks of testing different apps and updates, I switched my dayly usage smartphone, and now this e/OS smartphone is my dayly companion for more than 9 months. The operating systems works reliably, and due to the minimal background prozesses this old smartphone only needs a battery-reload about 2 times per week. ... I find it VERY positive that I do not need a google-account or a murena-account to get software-updates, and can use the full playstore (even online-banking app works without any problems, it is only necessary to grant that one app more security-rights to work ... every other app does not need that much rights) ...

I am very happy to have found this OS by accident, because it is a reliable alternative to google and apple
