Well, unfortunately I don't think it's possible with this particular phone, since the bootloader is locked. I'd need to buy another phone with an unlocked bootloader, and that is compatible with the mobile network that I use. It's in my mind, so I'll likely start looking soon. I don't like that everything that I do is recored and tracked, which is known to be the case with Google. π π π β¨ π€

Hope that when you get a phone whose bootloader is (or can be) unlocked, you can lock it again after flashing the fully open-source Android OS that you like, and that is for security reasons. π€π€

While it's true that keeping the bootloader unlocked does create an attack vector, I never had a problem with it. As long as unlocking and locking it again did not require a lot of effort, then I'd likely do it. π π π β¨ π€

#GrapheneOS can be installed on phones which allow both unlocking and relocking the bootloader, though only G phones are supported. π€―π€

Indeed, I've heard a lot about GrapheneOS quite a lot lately, though I don't have any experience with it yet. π π π β¨ π€

One drawback of that OS is that it can be installed only on Pixel phones, which already turns some potential users away. π€―π€

Yes, I've seen that. The most important features on a phone for me are a very good camera, a lot of internal storage, and a slot for an SD card, aside from an unlocked bootloader, which unfortunately I can't get from my present carrier. π π π β¨ π€
