Comments and Reviews
As far as I know, /e/ is the most complete alternative to Google android because :
On the good way to become a real alternative to Google Environment. These are the default apps included in the OS:
All default apps, are privacy focused + opensource
terrible when it comes to actual security with their outdated updates and unsecure cloud. Recommend graphene instead
Google-free and user friendly, aims to support even major banking apps, long-term support with frequent updates, comes with advanced privacy features such as tracker blocking and fake location
/e/ is a Lineage-based distribution with a very specific target: people who are not tech-savvy, who also like iPhone but dislike Apple/proprietary software. /e/ does this very well, and since it's Lineage-based, it's familiar to most people on alternative distributions.
It also includes apps that sync with your Murena account. It's quite nice for newer users!
Works awesome for Motorolla G7 (river). Even NFC. Contact sync / google import works like a charm. Cloud services can be self-hosted at your personal server (no vendor lock-in for specific provider here). Contact sync and cloud services based on Nextcloud. Definitely recommend this project.
/e/ is not just a degooglized android ROM, it is currently showing progress in work that looks like a complete alternative to google services. It has email service (@e.mail), 1GB expandable drive ($25 a year for 20GB), contact wallet, calendar, notes, tasks, photos, a dynamic notebook (like google keep), a cooperative task control deck, bookmarks, RSS feed and an amazing integration with Onlyoffice with documents, spreadsheets and presentations that can be accessed directly from your /e/phone or from an online desktop through a browser . I believe the team's intention is to clone Alphabet with contrary and inverted principles as can be seen in their own logo. I was a few weeks without following the project and when I came back I had all this and I am very excited about the progress. In relation to the ROM specifically, uses MicroG (clone of google libraries) and being based on LineageOS, currently has compatibility (beta) with almost 200 smartphones of various generations beyond stable ROMs for some of them.
It's a LineageOS with greater UI (at least on my Xiaomi Redmi 3S, and in my personal opinion). The declared goal of complete degoogling warms my soul
