I like a lot the LibreM but I don't consider it a viable option for a use in the real world. On the other hand, the /e/ smartphone is doing a great world to keep me out of the Google ecosystem, and I'm very impressed how far they go on this aspect, even removing call to Google server during connectivity checks, replacing Google NTP servers by NTP pool servers. I don't know any other Android custom ROM doing this.

Maybe because the actual privacy benefit for this change is negligible? (Or so I 've been told).

And audit all android code & third-party apps.
