Pixels are only great for putting GrapheneOS on them.

Good to know. Have a Pixel 6 which I like, may through this on in a year or so. Any OS recommendations for an older Moto G Stylus?

[–] netchami@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

DivestOS might work. In my opinion, it's the best ROM for non-pixel devices. You can also go with LineageOS, but it has some serious issues. It might be better to keep the stock ROM as long as it's supported and updated and to remove all the bloatware/spyware using the Universal Android Debloater. You can also use a Firewall like NetGuard to block internet access to certain apps and use a DNS Filter like NextDNS to block known tracking domains. NetGuard isn't perfect though, and it can be bypassed. The same goes for NextDNS. It's better than an insecure, unpatched OS though.
