Find budget phones on https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/ or https://lineageosdevices.com/

You can sort and filter devices based on your requirements https://lineageosdevices.com/ . You can also ask for suggestion in this post. https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/oyy2wp/the_what_currently_supported_device_should_i_get/

Visit https://lineageosdevices.com/ and sort by "Display ascending".

Check the sortable (launch date, size, RAM, etc) Devices for LineageOS, then click on the wiki links for extra info.

There is an unofficial website which lists all of the officially supported devices: https://lineageosdevices.com/

The easiest option is to get a phone that can run a de-googled Android distribution. The most secure choice is a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS. However, if you don't want to give Google your money, there are more options for LineageOS. In either case, you'll get a bare-bones initial set of apps with no Google spyware. You can install FLOSS apps from F-Droid.

You can try https://lineageosdevices.com/

The unofficial https://lineageosdevices.com has a really nice interface for selecting a supported phone.

So when I install gcam services provider app https://github.com/lukaspieper/Gcam-Services-Provider System says *package already exists.

My goal for today is to get photos as good as Google Camera, on my Graphene'd Pixel 4. GrapheneOS's camera just wasn't cutting it for me, so I installed this: https://github.com/lukaspieper/Gcam-Services-Provider And then Google Camera and Google Photos. I'm not logged into my Google account for Google Photos, and I used the above link in order to not install GSF.

You don't need microG to use Google camera, Gcam services provider is sufficient.

If you don't plan on using Gapps, you can use GCam Services provider and a GCam app.

you can try this instead: https://github.com/lukaspieper/Gcam-Services-Provider

Get Gcam services provider - essentially the Camera/Photos

Its also important to note, that this app only works without google services if you install a fake-version of those services or have microG installed

If you have MicroG installed, you should be able to use it directly after installing and configuring it. In case you don't have MicroG you can also use this app which fakes the Google dependencies required to run GCam.

Pixel 4a with Graphene OS, only GCam Services Provider (https://github.com/lukaspieper/Gcam-Services-Provider) to be able to use Google Camera. Implementation is super simple and it shouldn't take long to see that it actually does nothing.
