There are videos on Youtube that show how to Un-Google an Android phone, and
it's funny to see how less useful they become.  Even apps in the app store
collect telemetry, so you have to install less mainstream open source apps
and put up with less polished function or ease of use.

Wifi triangulation still cannot be shut off, so keep that in mind.  The
Pine64 linux phone contains dip switches under back case half to physically sh
ut off wifi and cameras and mics and gps
