Thats cool, I don't use chinese spyware phones anyways
- Tbh I wonder if flashing an aosp rom changes that at all
  
  Why wonder? Go read the code.
  
  What? My point is that I wonder if there are hardware and bootloader level back doors that survive flashing a new ROM or if you can be truly clean flashing a trusted AOSP one.
