There is much more to a cell phone than just the operating system sitting on top.

A clean operating system on top does not automatically mean your phone respects your privacy.

If you need full privacy, your best bet would be to use a regular PC with an ethernet connection, WiFi and Bluetooth turned off (preferrably never inserted in the first place), and when possible a RISP-based processor (ARM is fine too, but RISP is actually the fully open source one).
Phones have so many anthennas that would otherwise make it unusable as a phone, so full privacy is impossible on a phone, though it is possible to limit in certain ways.
With software you remove Google and/or Apple out of the equation (unless you decide to add them in the form of apps, so use common sense), you can remove your SIM card to remove your mobile ISP too, and then using the hardware kill switches you can turn the anthennas off (if you're willing to not use any connectivity whatsoever that is).
