Freedom Phone Service

Auranos.org specialises in all kinds of computer technology, not the least of which is the ubiquitous Mobile Phone.

Both Google Android and Apple iPhone's have shared a monopoly on mobile phones since everything went smart but when these devices became prisoner ankle tags for swathes of the population put under unexpected house arrest and the various malware detection software houses didn't seem to notice, Auranos.org has been working on solutions which will ensure continuance of free speech, anonymity and much valued privacy from corporate spyware for whoever Santa delivers a phone to this Christmas.

We have previously offered and continue to offer a degoogling service Android phones, but we recognise the vulnerabilities implicit in using a Google operating system at all are such that if at all possible it is better to replace it with something that has no potential for further backdoors which could allow Google to install spyware onto the devices of their end users.

Our Freedom Phone Service does more. Our Freedom Phone Service does away with Google altogether by replacing the entire Android Operating System on select phones with a choice of operating systems although we highly recommend the use of Ubuntu Touch.

Unfortunately we cannot provide a Freedom Phone Service to those with Apple iPhones at this juncture but once the legal avenues regarding Apple proprietory warez have been negotiated, we may be able to offer this at some point in the future.

The Auranos.org Freedom Phone Service recommends the use of Ubuntu Touch as the best Mobile Phone Operating System available today. It has a larger support base than either of the duopoly of Android and iPhone, is more efficient, has a large software collection which includes not only APK's which can be run in an android emulator if desired, but also .exe files in a Windows emulator and a whole variety of emulators which will support anything from the Sony Playstation to the Sinclair Spectrum with the only question being, is your phone soupy enough to run the latest version of Grand Theft Auto V (probably not) and would it be any good on a touch screen phone? At least you'll get offline Excel to work okay but since you are using Linux, alot of the software that costs a bomb on Windows is a fairly well replicated native to Linux with no need for the Snazi Windows Emulator to run the various programs you might want to run if only you were at your desk.

So ... thats just "the other software" that will run on your much better Phone Operating System and there's little need to touch on the touchscreen apps which most seasoned Linux users would not be used to since they like their keyboards so much. As an added bonus, your internet connected, video playing, calculating, SNES emulating, personal stereo device can also be used to make phone calls and send text messages to people.

There are other versions of proper Linux mobile device OS's we can install for you but with the exception of Debian Mobile, not all of these operating system are as quite touchscreen capable as we would like them to be. It doesnt mean you cant have us install Kali Linux for example which is probably the most security conscieous operating system available for a phone but that currently comes at a cost of having to open something called a bash terminal to type in passwords at every oppotunity and although it will work on any of the listed phones below, its maybe not the ideal OS for ordinary consumer use.

Now the biggest advantage of the Freedom Phone Service is that Google cant track you unless you deliberately install Google software and allow it to alter your device settings. It can't install any software on the fly through whatever backdoors Google has hidden in it's now self-compromised Android Operating System. Most of the software on your new system is open source from communities which are well established with a pedigree in the kind of information security that large profit making corporations tend to ensure for themselves but attempt to restrict for their consumers. Some Google software is open source but no one who considers end user information security and important feature bothers to look at it since by the very definition it is Google software, there is the implication that end user information is something to be harvested rather than genuinely meriting coroporate statements like "we care about your privacy". If they cared so much they wouldnt collect anything without you specifically allowing it. By default, they collected everytime you went to Pizzahut which garages you visited and they gave you some free offers while admitting they were doing it. While some people seem to think this is a wonderful thing, there are those of us who feel like this cyberstalking on an industrial scale.

Auranos.org can help you thwart these criminal activities even when the police don't want to notice.

Why Doesn't Everyone Have a Freedom Phone?

Well Google and Apple have cornered the market for phones and they give away a free operating system with their phone. Until now there wasn't much need for a more secure operating system because you would have though that the Operating System manufacturers would be the last people to install spyware on their customers' phones. The fact that Android tends to hide its Linux core from the world and the way the word Linux conveys a sense of dread since the days when 1995 Red Hat 4.0 would take half and hour to install and half a year to find all the drivers makes people unneccessarily wary of modern Linux which is today much more competent than Windows which would have been the preferred choice for me around the time of Windows XP.

In the US, Freedom Phones are being sold in US retail markets and it looks likely that many European's will begin to follow suit. Unlike the retailers in the US, Auranos.org do not sell the phones with the OS installed at present time per se but speak to us and we can come up with some deal which may involve a deposit. What we offer to our regular customers is the installation of a new operating system on a phone that our customers bring to us. In time we hope to upscale this to provide new phones pre-installed with Ubuntu Touch but it depends very much on how likely we are to sell the service itself and we are hoping our customers can help spark a demand, so give us a call on 07903 064488 and discuss upgrading your operating system to something which is compatible with these strange times we now live in in the 2020s.

Is My Phone Supported?

Unfortunately we cannot provide any assistance to iPhone users with the Freedom Phone Service. We can still fix your screens and replace your batteries as always but the Freedom Phone Service is only available for users with Android Phones and I'm afraid to say not all Android devices have been tested to be working as yet.

Phones degoogled from £15

If you are concerned about your online and physical privacy breached by the use of an undocumented backdoor in 2020 that google held on their mobile Linux operating system Android, Auranos.org is here to help you.

While many anti-virus have failed to give warning or provide any protection from Google's spyware, a large number of techs attempting to warn the public about the dangers and illegality of the shockingly revealled Android "feature" have been silenced across many large tech corporations heavily controlled by the Blackrock and Vanguard multinational investment foundations.

Linux is an operating system kernel which ships with a fairly liberal license allowing anyone to modify and distrubute the software and even profit from doing so, without paying a penny in royalties to Linus Torvalds or the others who play a role in maintaining the kernels. The one stipulation is that any system based on the Linux cannot prevent end-users (the actual people who walk about with the phones in their daily lives) from altering the system as they see fit.

However, in the move in summer of 2020, Google, without the end-user's knowledge or consent, installed software on every Android which wholly meets with the description "spyware" and this software is not as simple to remove as uninstalling and app from the phone.

Many have expressed concerns about the invasion of their privacy this ability to install spyware without the end-users knowledge or consent presents but they outvoiced by loud and very well funded Google sponsored agents who also engage in deranking anything that suggests that there is something wrong, or how to go about undoing the alterations which have turned peoples communications devices into social monitoring devices by those who clearly have something to hide. The new software is closed source as is the means by which the backdoor functions.

Auranos.org recommends that smartphone users check out GNU Linux operating systems for mobile devices such as Ubuntu Touch and purchase a phone which is known to be compatible with these operating systems in order to maximise protection from exploitation from these corporations which are now trampling over humanities most basic liberties.

However at Auranos.org, most of our customers cant just afford a new phone to keep up with the level of creepyness of mega corporations and we cater to every need.

If buying a new phone is out of your reach, there is the middle ground of having your Android phone degoogled. Android is based on Linux but many of the additional bits, including the user-password system have been specifically designed by Google and its not entirely possible to get rid of Google entirely from Android, other than installing a completely different operating system that Google have had no input into. Not all Android devices are supported by the various GNU Linux distributions which are available so if you have a phone that is not known to support GNU then we can replace as much as Google software as possible on your phone.

A degoogled android will still support APK applications like a regular Android but it will not support tracking APIs, it will not support Googles Play Store but most of the applications you use which are not Google can be installed and made to work on your degoogled Android device.

By using alternative software on systems which have been especially installed with privacy in mind, we can effectively reduce your visibility to the Google AI system, restricting them from tracking your location, knowing your medical details or looking at your search history and the various other invasions of privacy detailed on the various documents annexed to the Android license which users agree to in whole by clicking a single button.

For £15, you can be rid of gmail, playstore, gpay, videos and a whole load of other apps spying on your every activity, including your location and have them replaced with similar applications providing much more protection than is available by just trusting a mega-corporation like Google to not exploit you.
