When I had a real android smartphone, I put LineageOS (previously CyanogenMod) on it. So it was less offensive than plain android. But unless you were willing to muck about with apk packaging, you had to use the Google Play store. It was a bit of a pain to find and install apk packages. Not all phones can run it. I researched and bought phones that could run it. I also put ClockWorkMod as the recovery image. It worked well. bjb To unsubscribe send a blank message to linux+unsubscribe [ at ] linux-ottawa [ dot ] org To get help send a blank message to linux+help [ at ] linux-ottawa [ dot ] org To visit the archives: https://lists.linux-ottawa.org
