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 to the point that i want to block trackers for any app i use
i wanna use google camera as it is in stock rom but i dont want google spy removed. 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!
Edit: i just saw that there is iodé (which sees app trackers and i found it interesting) plus CopperheadOS Edit 2: THANK YOU ALL A LOT, your answers are the best, imma go with grapheneos and donate them also cause their job is the best
also i found this matrix for oses that helped me: https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm !!!
that’s just plain bullremoved with at most zero backing knowledge. supporting various brands really won’t make the software that complicated. the software you install won’t need to include compatibility patches of all the supported brands and models, it’s routine that system images are customized for the phone, with patches specifically for that phone.
I mean yeah LOS is not the best in quality, but the remaining part does not make sense
