How did you de-Google's your Android device? - eviltoast

Previously on Lemmy: Tablets

Let’s talk about deGoogling Android this week, since it’s a common topic of interest around here to talk about GrapheneOS and CalyxOS.

I feel like Google services has been lacking for the better part of a decade to the degree that I am reluctant to rely on most Google services nowadays. However, I don’t think I have the effort to actively remove all traces of Google from my phone, as the cost of bootloader unlock and rooting is a bit too much for me.

So, I would like to hear what your deGoogling experiences, since I’m unlikely to do it myself.

    the ease of the web installer is underrated.

    if u install aurora store and login anonymously, this should prevent google knowing what apps you installed

      That is also an option. Having the google store prevents some weirdness or issues with requirements for certain apps though.
