I use my rooted, untrusted Chinese Xiaomi spy phone just like an untrusted device... Next time, I'll look into open-source hardware and Linux as the operating system. I dont give a s... about custom roms which are still based on android because Android and closed Hardware (qualcomm etc (Whether it's grapheneOS... Lineage, or whatever... No one can do anything with the firmware regarding modems, etc... No one can say what undocumented command sets are available, etc. )) is cancer
The only truly viable alternative that used Android was Project Ara... which is why Google bought up the patents and shut the project down. Everything else is just a smokescreen.
