      you could’ve just degoogled your phone, if it’s comatible with any custom ROMs. android itself is open source, but the preinstalled apps and services are not. that’s where the spyware is. (we will never even know how much spyware is embedded in IOS, because it’s closed source)

          from what i understand, it’s possible to re-lock the bootloader and use some kind of security patch to be able to do that. it’s definetely possible.
