[Update] Das Problem ist mittlerweile gelöst, die App brauchte bei mir nur extrem lange für den ersten Start.[/Update]

Liebes Flora Incognita Team. Seit kurzem betreibe ich mein Smartphone unter #LineageOS und ohne Google Dienste. Leider läuft seither die Flora Incognita App nicht mehr, weil eben die google services notwendig sind. Es wäre schön, wenn ihr diese Abhängikeit entfernen könnte. Wofür werden die überhaupt genutzt? Standortabfrage und Karten gehen auch ohne, wie viele Navigations-Apps zeigen.
Gründe google-frei zu leben gibt es genügend: #unplugtrump #gutgemacht

PS: Nein, #microG möchte ich auch nicht nutzen

The stock music player from #LineageOS is quite nice...

But it seems to scour your entire disk for music, rather than just /Music

No, I don't want random crap you found in /Documents to be shuffled in with the music I've curated for 20 years.

How is there not a setting for this? XD

L'interfaccia desktop nativa pensata per #Android 16 è molto interessante

Ma se ad un passo avanti se ne affiancano 2 indietro tutto è vanificato:
- Google Play Integrity API
- Direttiva "RED" 2014/53/UE

E addio a sblocco boot loader, modding e custom rom; che fine faranno le varie #lineageos #grapheneos #ubuntutouch solo per citarne alcune tra quelle che utilizzo? Verso quale direzione controllo globale stiamo andando?

Its the stock keyboard developed for #LineageOS, I believe.

It's not quite as nice as #GBoard, but it's honestly quite nice.

They've made a lot of improvements to it in the past few years. They added emoji and motion gestures. For me, it only lacks emoji search and glide typing. Oh, and a deletion gesture. And per-character haptic feedback when using the motion gestures.

But it's like 80% there and fully #FOSS.
Quite nice.

Now that I've got a #Motorola #G7 running #LineageOS I wonder what I should do with it 🤔

Pick up a new SIM card for it and use it as my border crossing burner?

Use it as a dedicated Android Auto phone?

Make it into a dedicated work phone?

Keep it on Wi-Fi only and throw games on it?

🤔

Trying to load #LineageOS onto a #Motorola #MotoG7 river and it's not going super well 😅

The instructions on the Lineage site aren't great and elsewhere it seems they're just wrong.

I do have the bootloader unlocked and I was able to side load the boot image via adb.

But then I can't get it to boot into LineageOS.

I'm missing a step somewhere.

I'll play more with it this weekend.

As far as I know this is the only OS available for this phone. Any others I should try?

Also weg von dem Verein!

Die @DeutscheBank stellt ab 25.08.2025 das mobile Bezahlen per App unter Android ein – und zwingt alle zur Nutzung von Google Wallet.

Wer alternative Systeme wie GrapheneOS, /e/OS, LineageOS, CalyxOS, iodéOS oder Fairphone OS (ohne Google) nutzt, wird ausgeschlossen.
Freiheit, Datenschutz, Nachhaltigkeit? Offenbar unerwünscht.

While the #LineageOS keyboard has become truly great (currently using it on #CalyxOS), I've got a place in my heart for #Heliboard, which is probably the nicest #FOSS #Android keyboard I've ever used.

I just have one little nitpick.....

What is that logo? I get that it's trying to look like a keyboard, and somewhat spell "Heliboard," but it's failing its secondary objective pretty badly. 😂

Update: thanks to @nik, I now know that it represents a Helium atom! :D

Uh-oh, looks like #Samsung is locking down their #Android phones by removing the option to unlock the bootloader starting withe #OneUI8, effectively killing CustomROM (such as #LineageOS) support: sammobile.com/news/say-goodbye

Looks like to be a worldwide change: winfuture.de/news,152535.html (German)
