Re: "KaiOS"

In: s/Degoogled_Phones

Just thinking out loud here really - KaiOS seems really good fun, and, as it is based on FirefoxOS, there ought to be a way to create a FirefoxOS fork that could replace KaiOS, right?

I’m quite fond of the idea of those little feature phones like the JioPhone 2 that has a full QWERTY keyboard. I’d love to get one of those to hack. I’m hoping to make sg similar based on the LilyGo T-Deck. Would be superfun.

I believe someone did something similar to that, it was Gerda OS, if I remember right. I never tried it though, and I am not sure if it is still going.

That's amazing, thank you for pointing me to it!

Is there any reason not to use one of GrapheneOS, LineageOS, or CalyxOS? Those seem like they're better supported and more free/libre...

I use Graphene, but as with anything you have to trust the developers. I don't do anything sensitive like banking on it, just in case.

KaiOS — What are the opinions here on KaiOS? I see a bunch of feature phones with it, but I'm unsure if I should trust it.
