I thought android had its own bootloader and I assume drivers (At least Linux has its own drivers). To my understanding if android phones have a bios that’s the only thing that could be compromised but it should just provide the interrupts right? Now that I think about it if Google put a huge bios in there it might be able to access and share things it’s not supposed to. (But I feel like people would have noticed.)
As a person that has been rooting his phone since 2011/12, I wanna go back to those years. Graphene and lineage have not satisfied my itch and having to keep magisking every few weeks sucks. I miss my galaxy, nexus rooting days.
Android phones looking nervously around.
At least u can put custom firmware on android phones, try to get rid of Apple spyware is much harder.

well at this point just get a pinphone64 with linux a d hardware switches
Might as well. I will never be satisfied with custom ROMs. I need straight up linux on my phone and none of that android crap.
