If you’re not running a degoogled ROM, you need to install one.
Doing that becomes harder and harder as time goes by. When I was shopping for a new Android phone I couldn’t find one that was recent enough and also had custom rom support of any kind. I know there are smartphones specifically built to be friendly towards custom roms and Linux but those are only available in Europe and North America.
at the least disable the play stores, or services.
If some applications require GMS, use microG instead.
is there any way to set up microg without rooting or unlocking my bootloader? could i do something with shizuku?
my last phone i woulda rooted without a question but i have my reasons to keep this one vanilla (its a samsung)
