Hello, everyone,

I’ve had my current Samsung Galaxy running Android for about two or three years now. It was an older model then. I am about ready to get a new phone; mine has been put through the ringer.

I was interested in Graphene or Divest, or some of these other open source phone OS. but I dont know much about what they have and what they can do. How reliable are they? Will the manufacturer or the carrier fuck me over? Which phone models are compatible and how expensive are they?

I’m a contractor; not only do I NEED a reliable phone, but I also need a phone that can run certain apps. I’ve tooled around with game emulation and modding since the DS flashcart days, and I have even recently had Switch accounts banned.

I’m sorry if there was a README but I haven’t been able to find any information as to if this was reliable enough to become my primary telephone.

    If you’re going to get that kind of phone then you gotta pay for it outright and buy the service separately. Most all the good ones are of the prepaid model. Just buy a month at a time starting with the cheapest option and if it doesn’t work well enough to your liking, try another. So I guess my point is that the above isn’t really a serious concern. At any rate, it is completely separate from the phone.
