Goldsmith8017 Unfortunately, I am in a position where I have to guard myself from nation state actors.
You are talking about targeted surveillance?

I would like to recommend you Snowden's book.
[deleted] I read Snowden's book and I would like to know where it says that a government can access my data stored in my smartphone? First of all, I have never betrayed my country, and finally I think you are confusing the needs of a government with the needs of advertising agencies.
When I see the difficulty that my government has to prevent a terrorist attack, I tell myself that for me, who has nothing to reproach me, it should be fine. I am not ready to be watched by my country!

Sorry, you evidently haven't read the book at all. If you bothered to read at least the preface, you wouldn't write your comment like this. If you would continue reading you wouldn't write your question at all.
I wonder if a phrase "Total control of your whole device", which is explicitly mentioned in the book, means something else elsewhere...
In the preface there is this part:"I sat at a terminal from which I had practically unlimited access to the communications of nearly every man, woman and child on earth who'd ever dialed a phone or touch a computer."
It is taken out of context, yet still.
To be clear, I do not question if he's right or not, if it's true or not, I question your phrasing that those things are not in Snowden's book.
[deleted] "I had virtually unlimited access to communications" as I said you are talking nonsense. He didn't have access to the terminals but to the communications, it's not the same thing
This is a message to remind everyone that while it's fine to have disagreements, I implore you all to conduct said disagreement in a kind manner. If things get heated, we'll have to intervene. Thank you for your understanding.
Nuttso Not directly, as I am not a primary target. But I still may be attacked. I want to make sure to make it as difficult as possible for anyone to get access to my phone.
[deleted] Why would you rather prefere graphene os than stock android with google? Would your suggestion change depending on the country of the state actor?

I am not an expert, but can suggest this. In order to get help, you probably need to be more specific about what threats concern you most. Are you worried that you might get detained and have to turn over your phone? Are you worried that your communications might be monitored? Are you concerned that the state might see who you are communicating with?
These specifics are necessary to figure out the best strategy. You probably don't want to feel safe against something specific when you are not at all.
Goldsmith8017 Okay, first of all, grapheneos is the best in mobile security and privacy. Period! If you want to be totally anonymous don't insert a sim card and be careful about what you do on the internet (photo storage, personal info...) A grapheneos developer did an interview on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkQ_OCzuLNg . If you are seriously threatened in the style of "Edward Snowden" get rid of your computer device, find a quiet church (or a mosque depending on your religion) and start a new life as a man of faith! Good luck sincerely. Really sincerely. If it's just for the style or for the pleasure of hacking you have nothing to fear. You know a lot of people say on the internet that it's not what you say but who you say it to that interests the surveillance services, I say they don't give a damn either way if you are not a threat to national security.
