        Hi. Lock bootloader, etc? Thanks.

        How can you trust that an app really won't send some company your location data, when you tell it not to? The only way you can trust a program not to do something it isn't supposed to do is if it is free software. ~ RMS

          Is this a theoretical question, or a "what can we do today?" type of thing?

            Hi dobey. The latter.

              You can use the 'uAdBlock' app from the OpenStore and set up a VPN.

                And of course - use a password or a pin and update your Phone 😉.

                  Cheers, thilov. Those are done. 🙂

                  How about making it harder for a thief to break into the phone via the bootloader or other method? 🤔

                    Bootloader cannot be locked on any existing device so far as I know.
