I rather not use android at all, and go for an OS done by people that care about Free Software, privacy and community (Ubuntu Touch by

@UBports

). But it's good that those that have to use android can be a bit free and private.

Users will have substantially better privacy and security on an Android Open Source Project based OS than what you're proposing. The FOSS mobile app ecosystem is also far superior. You really have it backwards and you're just pushing dishonest FUD which is incredibly predictable.

The entire point of this backup app is preserving the modern OS security model, verified boot, strict full system SELinux policy, etc. by properly integrating it instead of hacking everything together and taking shortcuts. What you're proposing is the absolute opposite of that.

Not against the app, it's great that exists.

I'm not. And you clearly don't know Ubuntu Touch, and the

@UBports

community. The OS is Free Software, the app ecosystem on Ubuntu Touch is almost entirely Free Software, and the OS doesn't call home. I'm not pushing FUD, Android is not a great platform for privacy.

Replying to

AOSP is Free Software and unlike Ubuntu, it doesn't have telemetry / analytics. It also has drastically superior privacy / security instead of being complete junk with a barely existent security model and mitigations. You're making completely dishonest and clearly bogus claims.
