I'd go a step further and recommend https://grapheneos.org/ https://grapheneos.org/ with a Pixel phone.

- Knighttime 5y agoThat too! It's restricted to Pixel devices though, and (I'm not 100% sure on this. It at least doesn't include it.) doesn't support things like MicroG which is a must for getting some apps that rely on Play Services to work correctly. I really think Graphene is only good for hardcore privacy and security enthusiasts, or for situations that actually require the security. I guess it just depends on how much convenience you want to sacrifice.
- Dracophoenix 5y agoCalyxOS is another option. It's hardened but also has MicroG installed.
- josh_today 5y agoSerious question- how can anyone know these operating systems are truly secure? Is there a way to test the source code? From a code perspective could Google have placed a back door in Android to access these forks?
- fragileone 5y agoYou can compile it from the source code yourself if you want. Realistically speaking there may be a backdoor in closed-source Google Play Services, but not in the open-source AOSP project.
