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.

    Unless you can install LineageOS on an S25 Ultra, your best bet is to trade for a Pixel and immediately flash with grapheneos. Samsung is just as invasive with all their oem apps.

      I was actually able to remove all those. I kept the phone app and the file app just in case my Fossfy apps did nit work. There is also Galaxy AI but I have not yet related it to an apk to remove it. I succeeded in removing Bixby, Youtube, and many other similar annoyances.
