I still browse through the political communities occasionally but I hate how their posts absolutely dominate the main page by default.

Now you can thank yourself for making that good decision!

 
 

I torrented a few episodes from 1337x, but they are quite compressed/low-quality. Is this the best there is or is there a higher quality version hidden somewhere? It wasn't originally filmed it at such a low quality, right?

Here's an excellent tutorial for that: https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ&t=0

Wdym by dead on performance? works fine for me.

And yeah, I feel like I'm nailing my feet just to avoid walking into a trap here lol. I should relax, I've minimized a LOT of data collection already.

Any good browser suggestion you have?

I am aware of that feature, but I can't do the same for a few essential system apps that constantly ping chinese IPs for whatever reason.

As for my browser, I mostly use Tor browser for browsing/reading and Mull for downloading and streaming.

Am I being too paranoid? lmao

Yup, you are right. Mobile banking seems to be really difficult on custom ROMs and overall it just brings too many issues. I will keep using the stock ROM for now (HyperOS). I have google play services disabled, all Gapps and Xiaomi bloatware apps deleted. I feel like that's good enough. RethinkDNS to block internet connection from apps that don't need it. I shouldn't let "perfect" get in the way of good.

Do you have any other suggestions to make my phone a bit less of a data mine?

Thanks a bunch!

I hope they do the same for my phone. Any way I can check if it's being maintained? Thanks.

Do the unofficial builds get regular security updates, though? Even if they do, I don't think it's the best idea to rely on two independent developers at the same time, I'd rather not have multiple points of faliure.

Oh don't worry about it, mistakes happen.

Paranoid Android seems to be working on Android 14 right now and they are regularly publishing updates on their discord/telegram groups. They seem like a pretty active team, I'll just go ahead and flash the ROM I guess.

I've already seen this page before.

The title says [UNOFFICIAL] and the rom isn't available in the actual LineageOS official website. Is this version really safe?

 

I have a Redmi Note 11, I am planning to install a custom ROM. This is the first time I'm about to do something like this.

How good of a reputation does the Paranoid Android OS have? Will I get good long term support? How functional is it?
