# ungoogled-fairphone [DeltaChat chat over e-mail](mailto:buero@meissa-gmbh.de?subject=community-chat) | [team@social.meissa-gmbh.de team@social.meissa-gmbh.de](https://social.meissa-gmbh.de/@team) | [Website & Blog](https://domaindrivenarchitecture.org) ## Rational ### Security matters The biggest issue in terms of security is the lack of updates. Your android smartphone will be updated by your provider (if there are updates at all) for one or two years. LineageOS provides much longer updates. The oldest device we support (a htcOne) is now getting updates for more than 8 years. ### Privacy matters As it is widely known that Google tries to collect data from all possible sources. These collected data gives a incredible power to the collector. We think, giving google all this power is harmful. We will do our best to stopp google from collecting data from our lives. ## Installation We've enhanced the LineageOS installation guide in order to provide a complete walkthrough for the fairphone including bootloader-unlocking, degoogling & App-Installation. 1. [Prepare installation](Guides/PrepareInstallation.md) 2. [LineageOs installation](Guides/LineageOsInstallation.md) 3. [degoogle your phone](Guides/DegoogleLineageOs.md) You will find more guides at [Guides/Summary.md](Guides/Summary.md) ## Life without Google is possible We will collect the most important use cases here * [DeltaChat](KnownToWork/DeltaChat.md) ## Things not working But obviosly there are also things not working without google (google-pay or google-search for example). We will collect these things here and describe alterantives if possible. ## Friends and related work * Mobilsicher is a german platform about privacy on android: https://mobilsicher.de/ * Portal providing privacy audits for apps: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/ * Getting GooglePlayStore-Apps without having a play store: https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraStore * Privacy Guides: https://github.com/JBNCK/fp3_debloater * Privacy Blog: https://www.kuketz-blog.de/ ## License Copyright © 2021 meissa GmbH Licensed under the [Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License](LICENSE) (the "License")
