    Base Android is also loaded with crap, directly from Google. Android is the worse mobile operating system, with the exception of all the others.

      Base Android (AOSP) is not, what you probably mean is Google Android.

      Look at GrapheneOS, that is a usable, privacy-focused Android without bloat.

        Almost none of the devices are shipped with anything but Google’s Android, and manufacturers don’t provide you alternative versions of Android

          Yes, Google owns Android as a whole, but (almost?) every single OEM customizes Android for their purposes. That is not the same thing.

          You ain’t wrong but it is currently the gold standard

          You ain’t getting away from glowies, but at least corporate marketing trash can’t track you that easily

            I’ve used it for many years. Lineageos is a largest rom sure .
            The issue is that google fucks with base android more and more. Now they made it that there is that yellow logo on boot - your android is insecure. Then banking apps are not working.

            Updating from android to android on lineage was a chore on oneplus 8t.
            And I ended up not being able to rollback to stock because I wanted to trade in for A new model.

            It just makes it harder to use roms.

      I guess we just have a simple task - to make sure that all android phones are running base android.
      How do u propose that could be done?
