So which on of these are better for my pixel 7a if we consider these:

i dont care about leaving the bootloader unlocked

i want customization to my os as long as this is possible

i hate google so i dont want any google things or google spyware (i dont use any google service)

i need push notifications for some apps (maybe microg or sandboxed google play services)

i dont use esim or google pay so idc about these

i need A LOT of privacy and security to my data

i wanna use google camera as it is in stock rom but i dont want google spy shit. if i use a firewall would be ok?

Note: i can sacrifice locking the bootloader and customization for my privacy/security/not having spyware on my phone

Thanks in advance!

    There’s this article in a German IT sec blog which compares the more well-known privacy focused ROMs. If you have any way to translate it, you should check it out. It is a really nice addition to the Eylenburg comparison.

    I was rocking Ressurection Remix and Xposed on my old Note 4 and customized the hell out of it. I’m on Graphene now and I don’t miss it a bit. Maybe a little.

    Graphene can be installed on your phone via a web browser on a PC on laptop. You should install it and try it out, it’s very easy.

      sorry but that’s misleading. it only works with chrome (and honestly better keep it that way). do we really expect in the privacy community that people use chrome?
