      I’m tempted to install graphene, but I use google wallet for payment frequently and don’t want to lose that feature… Is there still no way around that?

        It’s really the only choice for a secure and FOSS mobile device. GOS addresses most of the SIGINT associated with phone tracking.

        • disabling wifi autoconnect to prevent bssid pings
        • auto reboot feature
        • auto disable bluetooth feature (prevent bluetooth mac leaks)
        • airplane mode is never auto disabled after system upgrades … which is a requirement to prevent cell tower triangulation
        • usb-c data transfer disabled if the phone is locked
        • secure hardware to prevent physical attacks and evil maid
        • and many many more…
