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.

      Also Joplin! It’s a cross-platform Markdown notes app with many syncing options (including local storage, Dropbox, Nextcloud, and others). I’ve been using it for 2 years now, after trying different apps to see what fits. I’ve been using local storage and Syncthing to keep my Android phone and Linux PC synced, and really like it. It even lets you use an external text editor to edit your notes!
