Upgraded from #Replicant 4.2 to !Replicant 6.0. Happy!
-
Installed #Replicant 6 on my S3!
I still have a lot of setup to do and apps to install, so I don't have much to say yet. Certain things are considerably slower (e.g. opening and navigating Settings has multi-second delays between menu options), but not all apps are like that.
Video _tries_ to work (it actually renders, though with a considerable delay), but it can't stop recording, crashes, and corrupts the video. I'll try other camera software when I can. That'd be an important one for me to get working, if I can---videos of the kids again would be great.
Anyway, I'll probably report my findings over on the Replicant forums over the next few days. Great work, Wolfgang Wiedmeyer!

:O it looks like there was a #Replicant 6 tag on the 6th:
https://git.replicant.us/replicant/manifest/tags
I'll have to figure out what the status is tomorrow and determine if I should give this a shot yet or not. I don't really have much spare time at the moment.
If anyone else tries, please lmk!

@jeffcliff @maiyannah I knew Ubuntu and Android were problems before I knew about #Trisquel and #Replicant

Looks like #Replicant is seeing some more development: http://redmine.replicant.us/boards/21/topics/12057?r=13991#message-13991
But it's a lot of work for one person. It's a shame that there are so few Android devs that care about a free Android OS and are willing to put some time into it. That's why I'd like to see #LineageOS adopt some of the principals, at least as a base upon which they build non-free images.

#Google #Chrome browser data for "ad tailoring":

Might I remind everyone of all the other things Google gathers about you (use #Replicant, btw, or at the very least don't identify yourself with a Google account):

On my S3 running #Replicant, IceCat (and FF) immediately crash when starting. I got a stack trace through adb, and it says "No available EGL configurations". I found this:
http://redmine.replicant.us/boards/9/topics/13167?r=13173
This is rather unfortunate. Orweb works, but I want a browser with which I can install the addons that I consider necessary. Anyone have any suggestions?
...my timeline has become an Android support line.

I'm not all that familiar with software for #Android and other mobile OSes: does anyone have a suggestion for free/libre, end-to-end encrypted, !privacy-respecting, decentralized software that supports both Android and iOS for text, video, and voice?
My life would be easier if I didn't need iOS support; I have people on iOS devices to communicate with.
Oh, and it needs to work on #Replicant without any proprietary software dependencies.

Just installed #Replicant on my "new" Samsung S3; works great!
It's still a tracking device, though.

Wow. #Apple will brick your #iPhone (with a fingerprint reader, is seems) in iOS 9 if it has been repaired by someone other than Apple:

You shouldn't be using an iPhone to begin with. But this shows another way that #proprietary software is used to control users---in this case, having the effect of controlling the repair market too.
Just give Apple more money for a new iPhone, forget that you lost your personal data unless you decided to back it up to the "iCloud" (which is a terrible idea), and then move along and be happy.
Or run an operating system that respects your #freedom, like #Replicant.

Does it run #CyanogenMod (or even better: #Replicant!)?
