Anyone have any suggestions to keep an android tablet from leaking information like a sieve? I'm sure Google has built in all kinds of data drains from their mobile OS, so I'm looking for ways to lock mine down.
and stick on cyanogen mod.... http://www.cyanogenmod.org/
p.s. cyanogen mod is the most secure distro around.
i am fairly sure Silent Circle use it on their black Phone
rooted and modded already with a device specific version from cda developers, I just was wondering if people knew of anything specific to keep google from gaining my info. I figure there must be backdoors I can shut somehow. I already avoid the play store at all costs, but even when I sideload apps, they always have to update through and report to Play... Using an air gapped tablet seems to defeat the purpose of having a tablet at all... also, was curious if anyone knew of specific areas of privacy concerns in iOS?
Which make/model? Did you have to get a root code from the tablet manufacturer?
I have an Asus TF701T running KitKat. I fucking hate Android. What makes it worse is that almost all the weeb sites think I'm using a phone, so it switches to a stupidly low resolution, even though my tablet res (2560x1200) is higher than my desktop! Even the Play Store Apps are phone but not tablet friendly.
