MrMobius ,

Ha! That’s one of the reasons I switched to a degoogled android phone. The extra battery life is quite noticeable.

If you use chrome or any chromium based browser, googles still executing any code they won’t on your device at will.

Even if you don’t have chrome, but an app uses a chromium based web view.

MrMobius ,

Well I use Firefox on vollaOS. It’s not fully degoogled in terms of apps for sure but I hope change will come.

degoogled

android

These are mutually exclusive

Degoogled as in “no code from google present” would require Ubuntu touch etc., but as in “no closed source stuff and no telemetry” is quite easy, using either Degoogled Android or another specific distro.

I know what I said :3

Does that mean no code written in google employees, or not using code written by google employees on company time, paid by the company? Because both are basically impossible.

Code produced within google’s umbrella to the benefit of google; I don’t care what devs do in their free time.

As their contributions to the android kernel are also partly used in the main branch, you surely manually remove every commit of the kernel before building it manually, or do you use windows or mac?

I’m an OpenBSD user, I don’t think there’s any/much Google code there. Here’s some kernel contributions for Linux 5.10:

Degoogled means you don’t use any google’s services either?

MrMobius ,

I’m using the volla phone x23 which runs vollaOS, an android fork without all those pesky Google background processes. It uses MicroG to simulate them though, since most Android apps expect them now.

My phone likes to gaslight me and not even show the battery that my system services are taking

I had recently installed Grapheneos on my pixel, with a goal is determining what was responsible for all the senseless Google domains that a pixel normally contacts.

To my surprise disabling Network for the Google Services Framework and Play Services killed all of the nonsense. The only downside was that GSF has the push mechanism in it also, that many apps use for push notifications.

If only there were an alternate for push notifications that all apps would use.

Anyway, Grapheneos runs way cooler than Google’s Malware version.

I use ntfy for notifications, even on my vanilla Pixel.

The less google services apps you use the less google services needs to run.

0oWow ,

That looks nice, but apps that use GSF for push won’t use that. Or am I missing something on their website?

JoYo ,

Correct, an app has to be built without GSF. That’s why I still use Vanilla Pixel for Google Maps and Android Auto.
