Fast, open source, google free. is this the best rom?
bump
Does it work on Motorola z play
>CopperheadOS currently supports the Pixel, Pixel XL, Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P.
>Only works on three or so devices
>Not maintained for the older two
No
If you have any recent Google phone, yeah. Otherwise, by the numbers, no.
thinking about getting one of this second hand.
5.5 in 1440 x 2560
Snapdragon 821 4 GB RAM
3450 mAh
>in before: the irony. google free rom only works on google phones
Will they add more older phones to the development? Like xiaomi or samsung galaxy s4/s5 ?
Literally all of the so called "security features" are made obsolte if you just properly configure SELinux.
pretty sure they aren't even going to support the phones they already do for very long
>security and privacy focused OS that only works on google shitphones
wewlad
google manufactures none of the hardware, IIRC they don't even assemble it all they did was design it so why does it matter that it's a google phone?
Yes.
> Protection from zero-days
bs
You're giving money to Google.
If I buy it second hand I'm not
I have experience and a lot of familiarity with this project so I'll attend some of the things in this thread:
Copperhead OS is not particularly anti-google, it's turned out this way but it's not doing anything like blocking google in the hosts. Ironically I think the project has gone in that direction more that people have this conception of the project. It's impossible to run Google services for the most part because of the hardening.
It stops being maintained at upsteam EOL, do you expect the developers to continue upstream development on their own? There is literally nothing you can do, and they shouldn't be using those devices anymore in any regard.
Be prepared to personally compile your rom all your own updates, Copperhead binaries are not free (as in beer), you won't be able to update with the official server on custom compiled rom. This might be possible to streamline but consider buying directly from Copperhead if possible for your budget.
Upstream support isn't there, this would be a futile effort as many other vulns would stay unpatched. Pixel/Nexus or other phones with immediate security updates from upstream will only ever be the ones with support. Luckily more phones are being added to this lineup.
They will support the lineup until upstream EOL, after that there is nothing they can do.
They get this reputation because of the non-google google shitphones, the nexus/pixel line has immediate upstream support and thus reasonable security. This hardens those further and has a FOSS package manager and no google shit installed by default.
Hardening/sandboxing, and patching vulns fast goes a long way. It's not perfect protection obviously.
That's fine then, unless the person you're giving money to is buying a new Pixel.
>Still using a Nexus 5 mockup
It's been five fucking years and the phone sucked
Move on
What a joke
>didn't name a single flaw
feds in here trying to well poison on this
Because fuck the poor right?
Not everyone can afford to upgrade to the latest gen or even two gens ago. They deserve no privacy because they can't afford it right? So they're stuck with the budget shit tier entry level spyware loaded downesphones that the carrier gives them to mine their data.
Don't mind me, I'm just bitter because I have an OG Nexus 6 and can't install this.
does it work for Pixel 2?
>only works on devices you have to buy from google
>fight the system with us by buying a fuck ton of flagship devices from the very system we’re fighting
Ok sounds legit
These are hardened systems for people who enjoy child pornography, not political movements.
Look bud, this is Google/AOSP upstream support that doesn't exist. COS can't do anything about that, and they can't distribute free binaries because people keep selling phones with their software on it and if this occurs they can't afford to continue.
Yes
COS isn't about fighting the system, it's about security. See the first response here
Does it work with the pixel 2?
and use nexus 5 as picture
and I was so excited to try it on the N5
Into the trash it goes
Yes, using it for a few weeks now. Runs really well without gapps. The only Problem is that you have to build it yourself, if you dont buy the phone from the cos-shop.
And how you do this?
