It's doesn't resolve the tracking issues.

Why not? I'm running vanilla AOSP with F-Droid apps only. No Google Apps framework.

Threats are limited then to regular baseband radio issues. I know I could be doing better if we had open hardware, but that's the most practical solution I can implement today I think.

That does solve the tracking issues, parent assumed you flashed OpenGapps w/it.

You can also run microG (LOS + microG I recommend; what I use on my smartphone) which contains UnifedNlp for location services.

Vanilla AOSP still use Google DNS by default and Google servers for an internet connection checker.

I patch that, and a few other things. It's a poor man's CopperheadOS.
