Android is as stupid as iOS in terms of privacy.... You should go with CyanogenMod.

Cyanogenmod IS Android, just with various alterations and additions.
Not exactly.

yes. exactly. in the same sense as linux distros. I use and love Cyanogenmod, and it is more secure than what came stock because it is rooted by default. It is still android.

I hope my next phone will be a Ubuntu phone, too bad the edge didn't make it.
After these privacy issues on the desktop OS, you still want an Ubuntu Phone?

It's clearly different than my rooted 4.1, but as it is time for an upgrade anyway, I'll do it.

But after reading all those docs, I don't see anything about security....
It's about privacy, not security. Google apps/services could spy on you, because they are proprietary and not open source like most of Android itself.

I have a rooted s3, but can't recall if I used cyanogenmod.  How would you figure out? And why might cyanogenmod be more secure?

iOS, Android, Windows, Ubuntu phones, Firefox Mobile; same boss: NSA
iOS and Windows: true
Android: Depends on which rom you use and if you use Google services
Ubuntu and Firefox: pretty safe, you can never know 100% for sure but those 2 I trust the most.

I hope my next phone will be a Ubuntu phone, too bad the edge didn't make it.

I switched too about a year ago, Samsung makes way better stuff than Apple in my opinion
I think Samsung uses too many cheap materials. Most parts of their phones are made of plastic.
It's the inside that counts  Tongue

But Samsung is notorious for their Samsung-plastic indeed, didn't bothered me on my tab though.
But enough other Android phone manufacturers that don't make use of cheap plastic if it bothers you.

+1
Basically it's a main complain from my side at least. This and the HUGE size of the devices - Apple phones fit in the hand perfectly.

I had iPhone 3s when it came out, at 1st i was happy, but then problems started, so after some time I throw it in the garbage ( it worked to some degree ) and bought Note one, never even had a slightest regret, now I have Note 3 and I'm even more happy Smiley

I've had my battered iPhone 3s for nearly three years, but once it dies I wont be going back to Apple.

IOS was my best friend, but then she took up with NSA.  She didn't tell me but I found out.
