      True so don’t lose your phone. Its encrypted and you can use third party apps to auto wipe under certain circumstances

        the more third party apps you have, the higher your attack surface and a decrease in security. I love my mods but this isn’t really a solution and should be an os feature.

            what is proprietary about a locked bootloader? the only android fork i can recommend is GrapheneOS. you relock the bootloader on that as well.

                find my device would be more difficult to implement without a decently sized company backing it but a lock out function wouldn’t be that difficult. it just needs to be implemented into the os itself rather than rely on the trustworthiness of a third party dev.

                  I use a app on F-droid called findmydevice. It can use a custom server but I just opted to SMS via a password
