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.
Past Discussions
I have been using calyxos since the pixel 4a was kinda new. Not sure how i learned about it, i don’t know much about degoogling, but i really like it. I sometimes use google maps with it though, for car navigation and local business search in cities i don’t know well. Mostly using f-droid for apps but i have a few installed from google via the aurora store.
On my old nexus 7 tablet i have lineage installed but i hardly use it because of the weak battery.
