I wonder if a linux phone OS can be installed on those nothing phones? I would be interested in that and then you would be able to 100% get away from google. You would just have to make sure and not go to their site.

@Madchatthew According to the below, there is Paranoid and Lineage
Rob Braxman also has some pretty decent videos on de-googling your phone
For info, LineageOS is de-googled

I try not to use Google as much as I can. I use Duckduckgo as my search engine, although generally I use an android handset on a daily basis 🤪.
@JAC the problem with Proton is that their “solution” to de-google your life only extends to email sadly.

@phenomlab Lineage is good. No Google play or anything like that. My brother tried it a few months back on a Samsung model and now his phone cuts out mid-call. I’m sure there’s a way around it. I also have it installed on an old Samsung tablet which uses F-Droid as the app store alternative.

That’s not a good sign at all. Doesn’t exactly instil confidence.

@phenomlab they do now have Drive, Calender, Docs and are looking to create an alternative to Google wallet.
Whilst it’s not perfect, it’s a good start but truth be told I don’t think you can ever truly De-Google.

@JAC Yes, I’ve seen their product offerings. They aren’t great to be fair.

@phenomlab For me so far they do the job. I pay for the whole package and am on the family plan. No complaints from me as of yet other than lack of Kill switch on TV apps.

@JAC I find their product ranges to be very expensive if I’m honest.

It is yes, I pay around £25 a month for their full suite but that’s across 6 users as it’s a family plan. When you put it like that it’s not too bad.

@JAC Dived by 6 it isn’t so bad. Can you provide a link to the plan you have?
