@theprivacydad@social.linux.pizza That's precisely what I'm doing on my #Fairphone #FP5, running their stock OS. I previously had the degoogled /e/OS, and before that, #SailfishOS. Things work better now, with no Google apps, and even without a Google account. I use #FDroid and #Aurora stores to get apps. In some cases I have needed to use #Shizuku to forcibly disable things.

@theprivacydad@social.linux.pizza excellent post. It's the kind of soft de-google I have made on my cell phone. In addition to banking apps, some job search apps are also dependent on a Google account.

Wanted to pass it along in case it was copied text that wasn't supposed to be there or an element that didn't seem to want to update. Have a good one

@theprivacydad @fdroidorg I have a question: I am an Android user and I have uninstalled almost all Google tools with shizuku and canta, but I have a question and that is that, when I uninstall the Google Play Store, I get the option to "modify system settings". activated and had removed all permissions before uninstalling it from my smartphone. but when I want to deactivate that permission, the option "format the phone in factory mode" appears. The doubt I have is;

@theprivacydad @fdroidorg If I choose to format the phone in factory mode, does the phone delete everything I installed and do I have to start over with setup and install F-Droid apps? Or when I remove that permission from the Play Store and restart the phone in factory mode, does everything remain the same as I configured my smartphone and the installed applications? Has the same thing happened to you?

@theprivacydad@social.linux.pizza @fdroidorg@floss.social shizuku is the way without unlocking bootloader... Just delete every app u don't like or don't want. Even system apps.. & thn install all Foss apps. No Google account needed 😁
