~~Well, you don't need to worry too much now as Android has gone (or is going) close source which may affect rom devs, making a private phone even more difficult unless linux becomes mainstream as an alternative.~~

Update: Crap, missed a bit of the article

When new versions of Android are done, Google says it will continue to publish the source code in AOSP as always.

Please disregard my previous message and confusion.

Hmm, I think that based on your comment, I should try to reconsider using a Linux-based phone.

Android is Linux FYI. The easiest thing to do is get a custom ROM with tracking and shit removed like lineage OS.
