About Android and privacy (lemmy.ml)

so Android is mostly developed by google so I assume it also sends a lot of data over to google. Is there an OS that's privacy respecting?

AOSP-derived ROMs like LineageOS, Copperhead, GrapheneOS and Calyx are specifically developed as alternative android distributions that do not rely on Google to function

IMO Graphene is the only true option in this list, with Copperhead being aggressively sus given the history

Graphene is the best option but lineageos is also good and covers many devices. The con of lineageos is the lack of hardened security which graphene provides.
