Yes I ran de-googled phones for years. But the scandal that they were tracking phones even when all tracking was disabled was my last straw. I can’t trust them and I can’t trust the hardware. Could I have found something? Yes, but just like putting up with Microsoft’s bullshit, it became exhausting protecting myself from my own vendor, and I finally had enough.

I really wish there was a decent third option.

    ... Yeah. That makes sense.

    So far, my hope is that someone develops at first just a stable de-googled ROM for a Nothing CMF phone, and then that can grow into being supported by a more security focused android ROM/distro.

    You sound like you know more about the technicals about this than I do... afaik there are a few actually secure either android forks or just linux distros that run on android hardware... but they basically only support stupid expensive phones.

    Would really be great if a decent quality, actually affordable, reasonably secure phone existed.
