I’ll find a way

Lol

Idk why no one has tried this

Just build parts for your customers

Prob a few people who have tried to start one

Let them make what they want to fit their needs

Would be super cool if you could

And build it to last

Ooh I think LTT did a review on a Linux based smartphone that you could physically block mic, camera, data,stuff like that

But if I were you I would try android since it's open source and all that, and much more advanced

You could still do the stuff you want I think

Yeah I’m thinking about a pixel 3 or 4

That would be cool

But when you make your own you can use Android as well I think

Since you prob won't be designing software, only the hardware, right?

Correct

I need to find some technical friends and see what’s possible

I'd start out with plastic first, see what you could do with that, and then try moving to metal frames like most flagships are

Working metal would be too expensive I think

To start out with I mean

@ThiccTomato I heard there was a Linux based phone that is/will be coming out but don’t quote me on that.

I’m probably gonna get a pixel 4 and de google it

Good luck :)

Pretty sure Linux can be downloaded

Yeah

As long as I have discord I’ll be good

If you want to customize it to that point, make sure the phone is easy to root. Ik some phones are basically impossible to, but if you get a phone that's fairly easy to root it wouldn't be hard to degoogle it

I've never looked into pixel phones so I have no clue whether they root easy or not, just giving you a caution to look into that stuff xd

I’ve been looking into it all day lol

ah good xD

And pixel is the main one they use

I see

makes sense

my bro got a moto g6 for that very purpose but has yet to root it, and has had it for almost 2 years now xD

he'll prob root it after he gets a new one so he gets the experience

I see

wonder how easy it would be to root my old s7 🤔

once I get my sim card switched to my new phone I'm planning to try

well its old enought for there to probably be many hacks

in theory yeah
