I have ADB, UAD, and even Shazuku with Canta. However, I tried removing Play Store and Play Services, but got my phone stuck in a boot loop. I have not tried to remove Gemini yet, but fear the same will happen. Insular (Island) will not allow me to move the services out of my persoanl profile, and Shelter will not work at all. Does anyone have a hack for this?
I do not want any Google crap on my device period. I have Samsung Galaxy 25 Ultra that I bought 6 months ago before realizing how ridiculous everything is.
Would flashing a vanilla ROM be an option?
Maybe. If my provider would accept it. Do you mean an Android version without all the garbage?
I am unable to use Graphene or Lineage with my provider. I might need to switch.
Yes, that.
How might one go about doing this? I can’t afford to buy a new phone but I really want to be free from the corpo bs.
Phone systems can be somewhat volatile (is that the word?), so while the process isn’t as hard as tutorials paint it to be, if you’re worried about bricking your device for tinkering, I’d suggest leaving it aside for now.
Or, stretching a bit, if you have the money to at least get the cheapest phone you can find (usually old/used ones), you can use it as a burner/throway phone to test and get familiarized with the process first.
