Elysium most stable non-leaking for now

From all I can recall, there were no proven leaks apart from users misconfiguring rdns (enabling fallback to system dns, wow) or misinterpreting what's going on. If you have relevant github issue ID at hand, I will appreciate if you share, as I tend to monitor such items.
Post-n rdnses are still better pro-con balance for me even if they fail at some stability aspect.

Elysium

I read this when I was checking it out back then, but seems it was fixed on Christmas. It was around Android 16 release, so using an older version seemed smarter at the time.

Elysium I thought I've asked for a proof of a leak, not a generic bug. Don't care that much about minor usability bugs.
Had no problem with autostart. And if I have proper setup of always-on + lock-down + block connections without vpn, if RDNS is stopped for any reason, no connections are leaving my device except for those mentioned in GOS FAQ. In that bug, author confirmed autostart issue, but not leaks.

ZeppelinAmenity Make sure your read receipts are off in Signal.

Why not get Google Messages from Aurora and use it without an account so you can use RCS?

I would use Mullvad or Quad9 for DNS & StartPage for searching.

I think any major carrier is an automatic fail. Why not use silent.link for data & Phreeli for voice & text? they both offer crypto payment methods.
Pixels 7 and newer offer dual eSIM.
There are promo codes for Cape & Efani, you can just port after trying each.

My banking apps were working fine until recently with Citi & Navy now require updates from Play Store. Chase & PenFed still work fine

😂

Have you seen the mega-thread of 2000+ messages of people trying to get RCS to work?

To be fair, it seems to be working now for the last couple weeks if you grant Play Services permission to read device identifiers 😬 (and again to be fair, that is only necessary for some carriers).

Since Play Services is required for RCS to work, there is no benefit to using Aurora.

Probably9857 lol yeah i have, I tried installing Carrier Services from Aurora to no avail but then i found the option for ICC. I'm not signed into my Play Store and its working

eggy Why F-Droid and not Obtanium?

F-Droid builds the app from source.
Obtaining could server you any binary blob

eggy

Jasper82 Not any binary blob as app signatures still have to match between updates. I don't see the benefit of f-droid source builds vs using an apk from the dev.
