This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

install Pokémon Go
allow all permissions
Does all that and still used WhatsApp lol
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
If they're serious about talking to you, they'll budge. Call their bluff.
Easy choice. No such nasty crAPP (pun intended) will touch my innocent phone. If they wouldn't even install a safe(er) app for their kid, then that's already enough communication.

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.

Why not just get a google-less ROM at that point?
Lack of availability
~~Likely because of apps that depend on GMS~~ They removed the services too. Yeah that seems pointless.
Also, microG for that scenario.
Some modern Samsung phones can't have their bootloaders unlocked.
Edit: I guess maybe they can, although the instructions for this seem kind of sketchy.
Did you read the greentext? Literally says they're unlocking the bootloader to root the phone.
Oh, whoops, not all the way, no. Yeah, in that case, that's dumb as hell.

Fake: Anon can do any of this
Gay: Bought a samsung phone
P.S the kids have been raving about this phone just reduces all those steps to "buy phone".
No headphone jack... So close!
Dang, can't do those 80s cosplays justice without a headphone jack

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

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....
