Top-level
 -Google Play Services vs. alternative app stores like F-droid have benefits and drawbacks. In particular, F-droid's signing mechanism has drawn criticism (including from outfits like Signal). -One of the strongest controls I've instituted is using private DNS so I can see and control a lot of the calls the phone makes. Easy to set up with a service like NextDNS, but can also roll your own. -If DNS feels a bit too far, check out PCAPDroid as it can provide some separate functions. 3 comments
@Xeniax No problem; if you have further questions, please feel free to hit me up. Graphene's web installer is super convenient, btw. Really slick/easy install experience. Thank you for your research work!  @neurovagrant @Xeniax @Xeniax I would also like to use a more secure OS on my phone. I might even get around to installing it, but one thing is holding me back. I don't use new phones, it's beyond my financial means. I buy refurbished ones, for myself and my family. Graphene, Sailfish and the like have a very limited selection of devices, often ones that almost no one here uses. I don't even know anyone who uses minority brand phones. |
