Looking for some help with my Oneplus Nord CE3 Lite. I have had this phone for a couple months and looking to harden this phone make it a safe privacy friendly phone and avoid the constant monitoring and spying and being tracked and monitored. I want to limit the surveillance and monitoring best i can with this phone. Not interested in CUSTOM ROM and there isnt any available for my phone right now. So what is my options without that and how do i make this a safe phone?

Thanks

    “the enemy you know” to be in the same geography as you and be capable to use the data against you, yes.

    With the other enemy, you know your data in their hands is a much less of a threat to you. They’re so far away and do not have authority on your country.

    And btw, Google is never gone for good. Not even with Calyx

      Bullshit.

      The enemy I don’t know has a long history of human rights abuses, persecution of minorities and espionage. And your data will become a weapon in the event of a world war 3.

      Calyx has absolutely no Google login required for it, no wall of text EULA or privacy policy due to there being no online conponents. I don’t even have a Google account. Whereas stock android you need a Google account to use it. Not to mention reinforcement of security via firewalls, Tor and sandboxing.

        Hmm, I wonder which countries this applies to… It’s crazy how you missed the irony of this

        And your data will become a weapon in the event of a world war 3.

        Dude… You’re living in some video game fantasy world. Your activity browsing social media and watching over-confident youtubers will not give China an edge in world war 3. I guarantee you.

        On Calyx, most android apps require Google services. How do you address this? Calyx’s solution for this is providing microG, a stripped down Google services. Still, they’re Google services…

              So Calyx comes with a Tor app and you can selectively punt apps over the Tor connection.

              I’d recommend everything you possibly can should go down Tor, but I do know some things can break. I usually keep one of my browsers out and the other in.
