I think you meant to write Oneplus here?

@moem Edited for brain fog, early morning....:beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Hi @HEROBRINE7GAMER. I'm happy with the Fairphone 2 (FP2). It's a bit old now but does what I need. The only real issue I have is the torch & camera flash not working.
-
The OP5 is a great device and I can run my UK banking apps through Waydroid without many issues via Aurora store.
-
@lakotaubp Is this without google services or magisk root hide? Regarding your bank app ?

I have picked up OnePlus 3/3T's for not a lot and they also are fine for my uses,
I've flashed one and yes, it's quite usable, especially for the price... but note that it does not currently record video as far as I know.
-
@brainbreaks No on Aurura I used a Google login similar to using dekko
-
@lakotaubp So either your bank apps, does not need signature spoofing , or does your bank app only search for google login?
Oh wait , there is a built in spoof manager in the aurora store?
-
@lakotaubp i searched a lot everywhere but couldn't find any pixel3/3a , i searched on aliexpress and ebay and aliexpress but without any result . no luck with googling for an hour . i wish i can find it because the port status is almost perfect . what is the website that you found the device on ?
-
@mrt10001 oneplus phones are easy to unlock and root but i don't find them locally . i really prefer buying a device from a store because i have a very bad experience with byuing phones online .
-
For info, there are still 6 Volla phone 22 early bird on sale (a little cheaper).

Did you try refurbishing reseller ?
Where do you live if not a problem for you to tell ? -
@opolork the fairphone 2 is a very nice device but it is just old and the battery is not good enough for daily usage .
-
@herobrine7gamer eBay but I'm in the UK
-
@herobrine7gamer It depends on your usage - mine is very little. But fair enough.

I have the camera module that's not working. The other module works alright.

@opolork
Did you try the Halium 7.1 dev channel ? -
@keneda Yes. No joy.
-
@keneda i prefer not to say , but where i live we don't really have much linux and privacy enthusiasts , and for phones there are almost no oneplus or google pixel devices in any store .
