The way that was going, I thought they were going to announce the end of the project. Glad to see it's just a temporary pause on updates!
The best Android alternative from a privacy standpoint forr the Fairphone 4 is iodéOS, which is a privacy-focused fork of LineageOS that fully supports the device (including re-locking of the bootloader). LineageOS isn't really a privacy-focused project, but it would also come with some improvements over stock. You can also get a version of LineageOS with microG here.
I didn't realise iodé supported relocking on FP4. I don't suppose it'd also happen to support microG in work profile only, deleted from the personal profile?
Because I'd love to return to ethical hardware from Graphene/Pixel, and the lack of FDE on Ubuntu Touch really rubs me the wrong way.
I'm not sure, but you can always try asking on their forums or in their Matrix chat. It's a friendly community.
What is FDE?
EDIT: Full-disk encryption?
Yup! Even just LUKSing a partition is hacky. And I lose things often, so it's an important thing to me.
Why iodeOS over GrapheneOS?
Edit: oh you said for the FairPhone, not Android in general. GraphenOS is Pixel only at the moment, at least until they launch their own device
It's probably the death of the project. Just read the letter the project is dead. Who is going to send the time to move to another ROM and then come back after they're done? And who knows when they'll do it again.
