Let's talk about deGoogling Android this week, since it's a common topic of interest around here to talk about GrapheneOS and CalyxOS.

I feel like Google services has been lacking for the better part of a decade to the degree that I am reluctant to rely on most Google services nowadays. However, I don't think I have the effort to actively remove all traces of Google from my phone, as the cost of bootloader unlock and rooting is a bit too much for me.

So, I would like to hear what your deGoogling experiences, since I'm unlikely to do it myself.

My own build of GrapheneOS with MicroG that allows Android Auto.

I'm not fully degoogled (I still use Maps and Tasks), but I'm closer...

Woah woah, are there steps for doing this?

Personally I've been writing/using my own docker container to help and (eventually) just build it for me, but I'm not finished and it's the first project of it's kind I've worked on.

I'd make the repository public (it's on GitHub) I just didn't think anybody wanted or cared

Ha sounds good I'll clean up the scripts as much as I can this weekend and make the repo public. I'll update this post when it's done.

Edit: maybe next week, forgot it's Christmas!

I just started cleaning things up when I saw this. Probably going to try and make a build without microg and using sandboxed play services now: https://grapheneos.org/releases#2023123000
