#13Hmm that is why that Huawie android fork flaw of running other mods as system allowed with hidden updates is screaming at me now.
Its way to update that mod in real time without the user knowing about it as its system allowed due it running in a separate allowed system space.

#14I think you would have to be mad to leave the stock ROM running on a Xiaomi phone, IIRC they were caught logging peoples browser history a few years ago. Several models have mainline LineageOS support, I'm running Lineage on my Mix 2S and hope to have years worth of updates going forward. The hardware is really good value as long as you install an non-tainted OS.
You can replace the user-facing software, but can/would you trust the baseband?
Isn't the baseband Qualcomm code? Do you think Qualcomm allowed Xiaomi to run their own baseband on it?

#16We should be up in arms over this. But we should also be up in arms over Apple's "CSAM" plans.
Surveillance doesn't belong on our devices. Period.
Once it's in, the dictators can clamp down even harder. Over time, freedom atrophies and the window slides closer to totalitarian control.
Don't invite the devil in. Scream it away.
