I think most security vulnerabilities for Android phones come from the manufacturers messing with the core Android code, too, and not from Google.

I really hope the "new Motorola" will use only stock Android from now on. It doesn't even make sense to me to do it otherwise.

Citation? Or is this a hunch?

I'd love it if that were true, sounds like an excellent rebuttal to the usual 'android gets spam' retort.

As I understand it most of the time the problem is the user themselves, the app requested some permission and the user granted it.
