    MicroG only communicates with Google if you tell it to. It is very configurable and you can configure and customize it to your likening.

      How do you configure it to do that, then? Because calyx’s docs only say that it’s either disabled, enabled without a Google account, or fully enabled. The last two send some data to Google regardless. I’m genuinely asking, because this is the main reason why I left Calyx for Graphene. I saw my phone hitting Google services when I wasn’t even using it. Graphene lets me disable network for apps entirely, something that wasn’t a thing for Calyx either (at the time).

      Does Calyx allow you to disable your USB port as well?

      Also, I’m still curious about what you said earlier about GrapheneOS being a ‘trap’. Can you elaborate?
