So, android being an open source project, how does one turn off these nefarious repeated connectivity checks (phoning home)?
Or how does one modify `/etc/hosts` like we do on Linux?
Why do we have to go all the way to root the device or use a different OS to achieve these?

Developer tools are different.
Also the source code link I provided was to vanilla Android, not to a commercial version running on someone's phone.
