Looking for some help with my Oneplus Nord CE3 Lite. I have had this phone for a couple months and looking to harden this phone make it a safe privacy friendly phone and avoid the constant monitoring and spying and being tracked and monitored. I want to limit the surveillance and monitoring best i can with this phone. Not interested in CUSTOM ROM and there isnt any available for my phone right now. So what is my options without that and how do i make this a safe phone?

Thanks

F-droid is good like the other comment suggested. Aurora store is good for anything not available on F-droid.

One thing you can do is track what network connections apps are making with something like https://f-droid.org/packages/com.emanuelef.remote_capture/. It won't help if the OS really wants to do malicious things, but you can monitor your apps at least

You can use Rethink firewall and dns on Fdroid to block the oneplus analytics and whatever you aren't comfortable with.
