Changes proposed for ADB could kill an entire ecosystem of open-source power-user apps, mobile developer setups, and rootless privacy tools based on Shizuku.
But I will soon migrate to a Mobian phone. I have once ported Mobian to the Pixel 3a, but the hardware is aging, the battery doe not get any better and I cannot replace it. Luckily I also have a Fairphone 5 running Mobian and once the patches for audio are there, I will use it as my daily driver. I already have it all set up and configured.
Oh and I will have to test, once audio works, whether the alarm clock is reliable. But I know every part I need is there. Sure, the image quality of the camera isn’t great without full support, but I’d rather have crappy photos than spyware.
Alternative roms are the way. I’m on LineageOS with microG for some apps, but have zero Google apps. Works faster than official Android
I don’t even run microg on my Android phone.
