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.

    Have you tried Obtainium as f-droid alternative? It’s a really cool project with some degree of customization !

    Migration takes some time specially if you have a dozen apps, but after that everything is automated !

      It’s a pretty cool project, but not really the same. There’s no app catalog like app stores have. It’s pretty cool if you want bleeding edge releases from git repos from apps that aren’t on any app store, or if you just want the latest and potentially unstable releases.
