(Newb!)
Hello,
I recently purchased a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 and realized that even basic apps like galery etc. cannot be used without permission for GPS positioning.
Privacy is quiet important to me. So therefore I'm looking for a way to use the Redmi Note 4 with the data I'm giving away at the very minimum.
1.) Is rooting my Redmi Note 4 and installing a custom ROM a possability to keep more of my data away from 3rd party interests?
To root my Redmi Note 4 I need to unlock the bootloader. Therefore it seems unavoidable that I need to register my MI account and device.
2.) Am I not giving away the maybe obtained privacy by registering the device to Xiaomi?
Thanks.
