Signing in to your Google account on your Android. can't you just create a new (fake) Google account with false information? Yes, Google will build a profile around your account, but they won't really know WHO you are, just WHERE you are, no? Personally, I might be willing to accept that compromise if it means not having to go through the process of installing custom ROMs, etc. And obviously, disable all Google apps like YouTube, Maps, etc (but keep Play Services and Play Store. And then follow your advise on settings in this video. And only use gift cards if buying an app. Will Google still be able to figure out my real name and stuff?

Hello Mister
I would love for you to elaporate on my question, as I checked out your store i thought of something very important.
I dont understand, are you self signing these roms or are you selling them without AVB? If so, i think you should really inform your costumers about that these phones are extremely unsecure, and that any authority could access your data with or without the physical phone. i guess you know about evil maid attacs and the like?

Rob, I got this weird problem. I installed app hider apps in my samsung S10, with android 11. Then I add another apps such as the Line in the hider apps. The prob was everytime I try to open Line apps in the hider apps, it will tell me the OS killed the sandbox for that apps n it won't open. Why n how to solve that?

Rob I'm pretty sure I found the 3rd google sencor. Got in trouble over it. Disabled on accident. Not only wernt sure where I was but couldn't get in my phone until I shut off. Made that mistake 3rd day. I know it was it because I took all kinds of things out. But war started with that one.

Regarding accelerometer, it can be used successfully to capture screen touches, so that an attacker can capture passwords or any other input from any application, completely bypassing internal security mechanism.

Can you make a option that wipes your phone if a certain login password is used? So if somebody like border services asks for you lock screen password, you can trick them into bricking your phone?

Airplane mode is for amatures. I pull out my battery, sim card and leave my phone in a grounded steel box in a hole in the basement. That's the professional way: )
Love your videos Rob!

Some of them actually did implement the idea of hardware kill switches, Purism Librem 5. but it cost way too much for such a low-spec device.
I wish you will review it at least.
