Good read. If you want privacy on your phone I recommend reading: https://guardianproject.info/blog/

Especially the post from Hope9 (https://guardianproject.info/2012/0...overed-in-spiders-practical-android-security/)


I personally use CyanoGen mod with Full Disk Encryption and no google apps (Use F-Droid instead). This gives security and privacy as the OS is Open Source and the device is encrypted (Defeats the Law enforcement issue).

 

Interesting article.

 

Will add this here, rather than new thread, but mods please change this if best.

Yes it's an interesting article but the funny side is that when visiting that page I had 10 trackers flagged in my browser !
