The problem is that most phones don't support ROM's like Graphene or Linage, as people installing custom roms is a relic of years past. Next time you get a phone, think about if you want this option for yourself. Also, do keep in mind that some phones have HW backdoors on them, so even installing a stock rom/graphene does not save you from privacy.

HW backdoors

Tell me more!

And lil papa google now forces GPlay Integrity so custom Roms are fucked

Well its known that SoC's have backdoors on them. Usually it calls home to China, so you can guess what that's for.

Honestly I don't really give a shit if China invades my privacy I have nothing they'd care about anyway. I just don't want American corporations doing it to try to sell me more shit.

So phone like Xiaomi? Sorry, I'm kinda dumb in this

[–] Infomatics90@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Xiaomi is the biggest offender, but all of them do it.
