    It depends on how you use your phone and what the physical attacker aims

    • if you use a custom ROM with decrypted /data partition by default and no way to encrypt it, the attacker can get access to all of your data from recovery even if you’ve set a lock (like password/PIN/pattern) in the ROM, but if your custom ROM is encrypted and protected with a lock, the attacker must know your password to decrypt /data partition in recovery
    • if the attacker aims to replace a part of your phone with a sus one (like a boot partition for example), he must be a developer who knows how to build things designed for your exact phone model, otherwise your phone will get bricked
    • if your phone is rooted and you give root permission to sus modules and apps, it’s possible to install malware and do shady things in it without physical access

    My recommendations:

    • only use trusted ROMs
    • only use an encrypted ROM ( official LineageOS is encrypted if I’m not wrong) , encrypted ROMs are slightly slower than unencrypted ones, but safer
    • set a lock to the ROM
    • avoid giving ROOT access to untrusted modules and apps
    • (if you’re paranoid) clean flash every time you update or switch ROMs, as this will replace any sus partition flashed by an attacker
    • (if you’re using decrypted ROM and custom recovery) set a password to the recovery, BUT if it’s orangefox make sure to remove the password before updating the recovery, otherwise you’ll get troubles

    This girl is insane, literally… 4 spam messages from 4 accounts on 4 different instances , even after I asked her to stop because I’m not interested, even after I banned her and after I reported her, she continued to send the messages as if she didn’t have an atom of dignity and self-respect that prevents her from continuing with something that might expose her to some insults at the very least. In the last two times, it seems that she banned me after she sent the messages so that I can’t do anything about it Because of her behaviors, I was thinking of requesting the feature of disabling inbox, or at least disabling inbox notifications so that I don’t recieve a notification of whatever she send…
