An internal Motorola presentation leak appears to confirm a GrapheneOS partnership for non-Pixel hardware, with an official announcement likely at MWC 2026.
Can I please know which model? As far as I know they can all be uninstalled (not just disabled) and they are the ones like Moto shopping and Moto this and that… all pretty much useless, but thankfully mine were not inbuilt apps.
Uggh… Then there are reinstallers! Highly annoying.
On my phone I disabled the google play store, installed FDroid and then Aurora (play store alternative of sorts). Blacklisted apps I don’t like, and also disabled auto install. Try and see if that helps if things get more annoying than usual.
Also, get RethinkDNS (firewall) and block the adwares and apps that you don’t need internet for. Great many options in there.
It’s my mom’s phone and I’m a significant bit of distance away from home. So, I want to make changes that are as non-intrusive as possible because she can’t really troubleshoot.
It’s been my main brand for a while now. Pretty good hardware with very few changes to base android. There are not many options in my country so from what’s available, Motorola is by far the best choice.
Funny, my carrier just offered a free phone upgrade and I ordered a Motorola at random because I was growing increasingly annoyed by my Samsung. Luck was with me!
Don’t think I have ever owned a Motorola phone but it seems I just might in 2027.
In my experience, they have always been one of the less painful custom rom experiences, but for some reason, overlooked by the community
Yeah no idea why people are sleeping on the Motos. I love mine
Ads, as of late. Bought my mom one and kinda regret it.

I forget the model but an especially annoying piece of adware on the phone is Glance, which keeps re-enabling and reinstalling itself.

I’ve had a couple and always installef LineageOS. A custom ROM with the ability to keep the bootloader locked will be nice
My last one was in the naughts. When Nokia was still a market leader.

StarTAC hand-me-down as my first cell phone.
Motorola Droid as my first smart phone.
I haven’t had many Motorolas, but my limited history with them has been pretty alright!
I had the Razr V3M (the original one): It was a pretty solid phone.
