I've had a Galaxy S22+ for 2 years and still want to use it. When I look up how to maximize privacy on Android, many results say to install custom ROMs which I can't since its a US model and the bootloader is locked. I just want to minimize tracking and sharing of personal information. I could use a firewall app like RethinkDNS to block trackers, but could I completely block tracking from Google and Samsung? Are there any lists of packages to uninstall to improve privacy? (I've used ADB to remove a bunch of bloatware. Ex: pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.arzone)

Thanks for posting this! Didn’t know the original was not maintained anymore.

Last Git commit to the old UAD repo was on April 10th, 2023, so yeah, I think it's fair to say that it's unmaintained. For comparison, UADng was last updated yesterday.

Can also use Canta directly on the phone without needing a PC.
