I emailed oneplus support and complained about their data collection and their lack of documentation about what is collected. Let them know actual paying customers care about this. It's not much but it's not nothing.

Buy a different phone.

There is lineage OS no? I thought that's what one plus users install anyways.

Go for lineageOS. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/orig-development

pm uninstall -k --user 0 net.oneplus.odm

This is what I did on mine, I haven't confirmed that it is no longer sending anything to oneplus but it did remove the package.

To clarify:

* Make sure adb is installed (https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-lin...)

* Run "adb shell" (you should see a prompt that says OnePlus)

* Run "pm uninstall -k --user 0 net.oneplus.odm" (you should see "Success")

Block "open.oneplus.net" via DNS66/AdAway or something similar.

You can opt out they say in the article

From the bottom of the article:

> As TechCrunch noted, the opt-out provision also does not appear to actually stop the data collection, but simply removes tags linking the data to a specific device
