You have a pixel phone. Just install Calyx OS on it.
Even if this would help (I'm OOP, and according to some commenters it's still installed on their phones running other OSes), I'm still outraged at the concept and the fact it's installed by default.
Plus, "just" installing a different OS is not a terribly mass-market friendly thing.
It should be regulated against by governments. The EU is slowly heading in the right direction. We're letting these tech companies do whatever the fuck they want to.
Most people don't have the time or knowledge necessary to make their digital lives entirely private.
This has "stop global warming by making personal choices" vibes to it.
I want privacy by default, and I'm not going to apologise for that.
I agree with you 💯 percent.
I wonder if it already is illegal. Have you looked into that? Did they disclose this “feature” in any of the agreements or literature that came with the device so that you could return it for a refund? Maybe you have a good legal case here.
I don't think that necessarily helps. I'm running GrapheneOS and "DeviceLockController" is installed there as well. From what I read, it's because it's part of AOSP.
I did take all permissions and from the system logs it reads that this app never has been used or tried to send anything to begin with.
I'm running CalyxOS and cannot find this app. Is it listed among regular apps?
No. It's a system app. Look for "DeviceLockController" or "com.android.devicelockcontroller"
Thanks, apparently not installed anyways :)
To be clear I linked to someone else’s post. I don’t have the Pixel phone.
Ah my bad. I thought I read you had a pixel phone.
Is that the one that was the confirmed FedOp?
What does that mean?
One of the "secure" android was a honeypot, can't remember the name. A false flag, a false beacon , a false sanctuary.
