What it's like to use a De-Googled phone in real life? (Q&A of concerns) - Rob Braxman Tech What is it actually like to use a de-Googled Android phone as a daily driver? Will it feel like you became a luddite or a cave man eschewing tech? Is it actually usable? What apps can you run? What about navigation? Will you survive without Google? Does it change how the cell phone works? Does it affect the battery? Do we need to change habits to keep privacy with a de-Googled phone? Do I lose privacy when I log on to another app? This video discusses the actual real life experience of using Android Open Source Project (AOSP) on a phone without GAPPS (Google Apps. It will discuss what's possible and what the expected limitations are. It will discuss if this is usable as a daily driver. If you're interested in setting up a NextCloud server, or some other cloud Linux server look into: Linode ($100 60 day credit to your Linode account)

To save the viewer from 22 minutes of a shameless overly glorified sales pitch! Feels like something is lacking, cause it's basically a naked androuid version a. k. a. vanilla. I use to use a samsung note series and I'd try PACman, AOSP etc and they all felt lacking of a certain essence, cause there was no touchwiz bloat that made it the good sammy note with all the bells and whistles. As much as we hate to think google's adsense is helping us, it really is, personalized ad's catered to our interest, poi along the route of your gps etc. I'd be more than willing to bet when ya dive into a private non-google device, you'll be looking in the rearview mirror and asking yourself why did ya do that. Then again feeling is comparative from one so what it feels like to me might feel totally different between me and another persons usage, so you can't really apply the same thing and type of rule to all.

lots of information here. Almost too much for me to digest. I am afraid that I am have been very careless about my privacy. What can be done to undo all my careless activity? Should I even worry about that past data? Where does someone like me even start? There are hundreds of videos. Where do we begin? I almost wish Rob had a complete idiots guide 101 to map this out from a to z. I really want to protect my privacy and freedom as an American but I just don't know where to begin.

You are awesome Sir, this explains how and why I have been having continued problem's since 2018. Every old and New devices have been hacked. I have even traveled to new service providers with new email addresses. And it follows. No one, I mean no one wants to listen to me and look at me like I'm crazy, and don't know what I am talking about. And it all has come right from Google. I would like to speak to you. YOU can be my solution I have been looking for for year's. Thank you.

Completely wrong statement: -bigger apps use their own services on their backends which can replace firebase-. Push notifications and many more services work only with firebase. Without it it is not possible to receive push notifications because no app can work in the background for unlimited period of time. Every android developer knows that.

Can you use a virtual machine on android to maybe use a google app in a sandbox mode? Say for example you wanted to use a google app for something specific from time to time? I use shelter (app) for several apps, such as FB apps, as when I -freeze- these apps they basically don't exist on my phone. But maybe a VM could help with this also?

My degewg phone is on its way to me, and I've been feeling anxious about having to use all different apps. Thanks for all this info, Rob.
My one dislike about OSMand is that when you get directions, it will only give you one route, unlike ggl maps which gives you a choice of 2 or 3.

What is a good weather app? I currently use My Radar and Radarscope,
this is the one thing that is holding me back from De-Googling my phone,
I understand weather apps are some of the worst offenders on tracking
any suggestions?

Hi there, i really appreciate your work and there are many things one can learn from you, I wanted to ask you if an old BB phone can be used since to use apps I remember downloading the apk's and not installing them from the Google store.
