    For me it just :

    • root it with magisk
    • install adguard + adaway + blocker + LuckyPatcher + LSPOSED
    • add custom filter to adguard & adaway like HAGEZI, 1Host, Cubic, StevenBlack
    • Tweak adguard so it always run on startup, using DNS Bootstrap/Falback, enable AntiDPI, etc…
    • Install LSPOSED Modules like HideMyAppList, Disable Target API Block, Let Me Downgrade, BOOTLOADERSPOOFER, etc…
    • Set Blocker mode to package manager
    • Disable any SDK/Tracker inside any apps with Blocker
    • Install magisk module like PIFork, ZygiskNext, Shamiko, etc
    • Reboot my phone
    • Tweak any LSPOSED Module so i can use any mobile banking apps or apps that stop working if phone rooted
    • Reboot again
    • Check play integrity fix & disable play protect
    • ???
    • PROFIT…

    Every DRM related app afterwards: WARNING! This phone is running insecure software and is incompatible with this service.

    And before you tell me just to not use Netflix on my phone, I’m talking about a government app that lets me authenticate and without which I can’t read official messages or login to any government or banking service.

    So if I want to survive as an adult Dane, I pretty much have to figure out which company I would like to get sodomized by, and which is less of a clingy little bitch afterwards.

      Oooooor have a secondary cheap absolute trash phone that is ONLY for those shitty government auth tools. Not ideal but gives you some control again

    … and then hope that you don’t get hardware issue warranty claim denied because of the software.

    This, so fucking much that I have it automated.

    And you forgot the most important part, firewalling every app off with before connecting to the first network.

    If I’m not mistaken, Anon’s Phone will still communicate with Google services for location services and push notifications after this.

      No, not after he removed everything with Google in the name, including Google Play services.

      What anon doesn’t realize it’s that you don’t need to root your phone for all this, you can just use adb or the universal android debloater.

      — sent from a Samsung that’s degoogled in the same exact way.

        I see. In that case his push notifications will not work for apps that rely on Google play services for them. A few other things off the top of my head:

        A-GPS SUPL must be changed Captive portal must be changed DNS, NTP servers must be changed Depending on how much you trust Chromium system webview should be avoided

        It is not trivial to remove Google from Android, even AOSP

      I still haven’t found a way to make my parents use Signal, so either I stop communicating with them (which is tempting sometimes) or have this compromise

        I just don’t communicate with anyone that insists on using products that have user agreements I don’t agree with. The amount of bullshit user agreements are getting overloaded with makes them dangerous legal contracts that can have serious implications on your rights. Just ask the family whose daughter died at a Disney theme park and when they tried to sue Disney tried to force them to arbitration because their son had tried Disney+

          Well evidently you’re not in charge of anyone’s healthcare: when you have a parent that has to be taken care of, you have to compromise if they’re not able to adapt

    It’s honestly such a pain in the ass to say no to everything Google shoves down your throat these days. And even after you say no it will remind you every so many days just in case you changed your mind after the 15th time you said no. Android used to be the “cool” phone but nowadays if you don’t install your own custom ROM it’s basically just Apple with extra steps

      The number of services that have adopted dark patterns is too much.

      It’s no longer “No” with a checkmark that says “Don’t ask me again” to only “Not now” with the implied consent that they can ask you again later.

      Dropbox asks me every fucking time I use the browser.

      NewRelic asks me every fucking day.

      Amazon asks me every fucking order.

    Buys a $1000 modern communication device

    Disables all ways for it to communicate or use its modern services

    Just buy a Nokia dumb phone and call it a day.
