I have multiple boox devices and have checked its internet activities using private dns, it doesn’t acccess any other sites like Hisense a9 which had 3rd party code baked in their phone os.

So, for Hisense a9 it makes sense to have lineageos to remove those 3rd party crap but boox isn’t like it.

Good to know, Boox devices don't "call home" or Google to often? I used to monitor some devices traffic with PiHole, and sometimes there are some surprises.


Side question, based on this ( https://blog.tho.ms/hacks/2021/03/27...-note-air.html ) , if I understood well, Onyx devices come with an unlocked bootloader, a vendor partition and fastboot.

Did anybody ever tried flashing a GSI on it?

No Google Play Store!
I don't know if that's a win

You can use F-Droid to get most of the open source apps. You can also use Aurora Store that can get any play store app without a google account.
