We have a guide that is a bit out of date, and I am working on an update. In the meantime, here are a few ways to enhance Julian's recommendation to start with CyanogenMod, all developed by an amazingly talented volunteer of ours: 1) Guardian Project Installer - this is a firmware image you flash on top of Cyanogen that includes a default set of open-source security-focused apps: https://code.google.com/p/guardian-project-installer/ 2) SecDroid - a root-required app (for ANY device with root, not just cyanogen) that disables many unnecessary and potentially risky services/apps in the default configuration of Android: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086276 3) (WARNING: Currently in "unaudited" beta, but still worthwhile to mention): Guardian ROM: a completely open-source firmware for Android, based on Cyanogen, that includes everything that #1 and #2 above have, and even more: http://guardianrom.com (aka http://shadowdcatconsulting.com/) Again, we should have some updated tutorials on this coming soon. Also, if you just one to buy a product off the shelf, the GSMK Cryptophone cp500 is a great product: http://www.cryptophone.de/en/products/mobile/cp500/ +n -- Too many emails?
