> Create a stripped-down "dumbphone" version of LineageOS for your Google Pixel without giving up the camera quality and touchscreen of a smartphone.

Dumb interface for smartphones, unrelated to dumbphones. Not that it was likely to be anything else. Pretty neat.

What in your mind makes a dumbphone a dumbphone? I see many for sale with cameras and touchscreens, even app support.
4thguy•2d ago
As I read down the readme, I kept saying to myself "ok, that's reasonable," right up until I saw the 300GB free space requirement to build the image. Is that really what is needed to build an image for a phone or is this a one-off?

My understanding is that yes Android build requirements are... significant. Given that a gentoo system can self-host in like <10% of that space, I am somewhat mystified how it got here, but yes that's "normal".
trollbridge•38m ago
Building Android is heavy, and so is Chrome.
nrclark•9m ago
Yes, that's normal for an Android build. Maybe even on the lightweight side as far as build requirements. I agree that it's an absurd about of space.

RCS really depends on attestation now? What the fuck?

cspeterson•2d ago
Unsure about details, but it must at least not require Google Play attestation because Graphene supports it now
GreenVulpine•30m ago
RCS also goes through Google servers. I don't see much point in using it.
