Hi,
I’d like to ask if you know, how to chose a mobile, which works well with F-Droid and user is not forced to start using Google services? Do you know any database/website?
For example my wife has bought Poco X3 and there is no possibility to save contacts on phone memory. I mean they are kept on the storage, but you can only assign them to a Google account or SIM card. No way to assign them just to phone memory. It looks like a deep integration with Google, which I’d like to avoid while choosing my phone.
BTW can you suggest a safe keyboard I could replace SWIFT key?
MIUI is hell, end. You can wait for an official LineageOS to come, I think there will be. Or flash an unofficial one and pray that the XDA guy doesn’t screw you over.
Unlocked phones are not recommended for banking.
The camera in other rom than stock usually gets worse, people that don’t mind that much about closed source usually install a GCam port.
You can save “secret” contacts wih Simple Contacts Pro Anysoftkeyboard and Openboard are good alternatives. (Don’t mind “luxemburgish” for anysoftkeyboard, is a little bug, is just the English keyboard.)
