So that will be my first goal, to root my older phone. If anybody else wants to join in the experiment, then we can pool our knowledge. Once we have prepared the ground, so to speak, then maybe we can talk realistically about creating a version of TDE for phones. On my older phone, if I recall correctly, it was possible to install debian packages (or at least there were some modified Debian programs available, made into smartphone apps?); I never did much with it, but I remember one app in particular that was called L'il Debbie (after the name of a brand of junk food, cookies and cupcakes, etc., also playing on Debian), but I could not determine if it actually *did* anything. In any case, the command-line in Android works almost the same as Debian, but again, I haven't explored much. Well anyway ... if anybody out there wants to collaborate on rooting smartphones and installing a Google-free OS, the help would be appreciated. I've done some reading and research, but (I keep reminding people) I am not a techie or geek.
