I am increasingly conscious of security and privacy. I don't want my data or telemetry being sent to google or Facebook, and I want to make sure my device is encrypted and not readable by anyone other than me.

Is there a standard go-to guide on securing an android device with these types of goals in mind? Is true privacy possible without having to install Graphene?

I run GrapheneOS its a 3rd party degoogled ROM with lots of great security features. Its also incredibly entertaining every time google or apole comes out with a new security update or patch to a critical security issue and the GrapheneOS devs go yeah we did that 2years ago.

Yeah I just don't want to ditch my perfectly good Galaxy A54 until it's actually broken

I'm running it on a Pixel 9 pro. It seems like I get updates every other day, which I'm not complaining about.

Yeah the devs are doing an excellent job. I would like to see it ship with fdroid tho.
