Pinephone feels like the closest I might get to a completely open platform that would see everyday use. My phone is of course the device that sees the most use. It would be excellent to review the source code but its intractable to review everything. An idea: how feasible would it be to either use static analysis or some kind of call tracing on this platform? For a simple task like “boot phone”, one could reduce the source code down to the bare minimum needed to review for individual actions. One could just delete code at will I suppose to make something that boots and does nothing else but I suspect getting it to compile would be very difficult. Tracing execution feels a bit more doable.
