@e_mydata @Fairphone i did configure a friends Brand New fp4. Nice. But i was shocked: it's stuffed full with gockel apps. Why would this be neccessary, if privacy and fairness matters?
@ff7 Gockel Apps?

@ff7 @e_mydata Why not buying a Fairphone 4 with /e/?

@bastian @e_mydata @Fairphone honestly, I did never investigate. This makes sense. My opinion was, that every fp is shipped with /e/ installed. I did never work with /e/ nor "standard" android,. Therefore I thought, I was configuring an /e/ based phone. Shame on me - oh noooo.... ;))
But still - anyway - who does ship such a phone with gockel??
@bastian @e_mydata @Fairphone ...should be easy then to install /e/!??
@ff7 @e_mydata Currently, the FP4 is not supported by /e/s easy-installer.

Fairphone ships a pretty standard Android these times. I recommend /e/ to most people, but there are still things to explain. For example, I do not use the built-in app store of /e/ which seems to redistribute APKs from the Play Store and F-Droid. I recommend using F-Droid and Aurora Store.

@bastian @e_mydata @Fairphone *kopfschüttel* um den Bootloader zu entsperren braucht's einen Code. Den erhält man durch Eingabe von IMEI und Seriennummer hier https://www.fairphone.com/en/bootloader-unlocking-code-for-fairphone-3/ #grübelwozudasgutseinsoll
@ff7 @e_mydata @Fairphone Ist das bei OnePlus nicht so?
@bastian @e_mydata @Fairphone nein - habe noch nie einen Code dafür irgendwo angefragt.
@ff7 Sollte man vielleicht mal bei Fairphone fragen, was das Soll. Von @Fairphone habe ich hier noch nie eine Antwort erhalten. Sieht mir nach einem Twitter-Crossposter aus.
@e_mydata @Fairphone So cool! Really looking forward to this.
Did you manage to add a headphone jack as well?
@inference @e_mydata @Fairphone The last step of the installation guide is locking the bootloader again 👍
@e_mydata @Fairphone Woohoo just installed adb and fastboot. I'll be trying this out on my old bq Aquaris Pro later on!
