My iPhone 5s has finally given up the ghost so it's time to start using android in earnest for the first time since the Nexus S. Currently regretting buying the single sim version of this cheap moto g6.

WattsvilleBlues posted:What made you switch? I did the same recently when my iphone (5s) broke and I was too sick of apple's bullshit to buy another one, so I switched to the £120 motorola work phone I had and it's been totally fine since. More annoying to get photos onto my laptop from it and omnifocus isn't available, but otherwise fine.

I have a motorola g6 (play) which is on Android 9. There's no official upgrade path available and security patches seemingly stopped a year ago. The phone still works perfectly fine and there's not really anything else I need it to do, but I can't in good conscience keep using a phone that's a security risk, no matter how much I hate this planned obsolescence poo poo. Some questions: 1. Is there an official or mainstream open-source option I'm missing? 2. How serious are missing security updates likely to be at this point? (in my heart I know the answer but I'll ask anyway) 3. I should probably avoid flashing some homebrew poo poo, right?

LastInLine posted:How much are you using your phone for things? Personally I wouldn't worry that much but I also rarely browse the internet on my phone. You know what you're risking which is that there would be some kind of drive-by exploit that you come across which backdoors the device. Maybe my imagination is poor but really I think every one of us knows someone with a budget phone that's never had a security update that's five Android versions out of date and they're mostly fine. I originally bought as a company phone, because I was on an iphone for personal use and needed something literally for phone calls and emails. I then broke my iphone and switched to the android sort-of temporarily, but found it was just fine for what I needed. While I don't do much web browsing on it, I have personal and company banking on there now, so, yeah, I should probably get a new one. I had no idea that long term updates was a feature I should be looking for. LastInLine posted:As for your options, Here's where to begin your search. I honestly don't know what it's like out there these days and in fact you might be in a situation where there's nothing you can do. Yeah I've had a look through there, that's where the homebrew-lookin' stuff is. I'll get something new and relegate this to a backup. Thanks for the advice, I'll go post in the phone rec thread.
