I have heard of this idea before but have not seen or looked into the software. I read over some of the features on the website and it seems like it would be a good option for those looking for more privacy on their android. I did not see/look into any privacy features outside of De-Googling, so that is somewhat of a concern if there is none. At the end of the day, there is still so many routes for big tech to get data off your phone. This would be one step, but you would still need things like end to end encryption, security keys, disk encryption, trusted mobile network (like awesim), VPN, don’t install apps like facebook, instagram, or any app that collects data, etc. I think the software would cover a lot of bases, but there is still a lot of other things the user would have to do in order to put up a decent privacy wall. I could see this being handy if you are one of those people who really don’t use a smartphone as such, or don’t use their phone often (like the elderly). Then, its not a huge loss to not be able to install all those apps.
Edit: I will most likely try putting this on the phone I am using as a HUD for my Sim Racing rig. I already disabled as much as I could on the phone. All I need is 2 apps on the phone and Wifi. So getting rid of all the junk off the OS is handy.
