      I know about custom ROM without google (Actually everybody know 😅).But I am not interested I think I have arch setup on PC then why wasting time on setting up mobile when I am never gonna use it that way I just wanted a bit freedom BY some tweaking some settings but now I think google is far more dangerous than U can ever think of

      Have a nice day,Namaste.

        Gee… maybe you can still find a Nokia 3210. Long battery life, no Google services. I use my phone without a google account just fine. Were i to care more i’d use a custom ROM. I just might, warranty’s expired anyway. What does arch on desktop have to do with android on mobile?
