Re: Stock android
I just installed CopperheadOS on my Nexus P (https://copperhead.co/android/) which calls itself "A hardened open-source operating system based on Android" and is totally Google free. OK, it isn't a Wiley Fox, but such distros are obviously possible. The 'play store' it uses is F-Droid. So far all is good. The most noticeable change is the dramatic improvement in battery life. And of course the warm feeling of no gapps ;)
