They are:
1. Install an AOSP ROM without the proprietary Google Apps or Google Play Services.
2. Install the F-Droid market to download whatever programs you like.
3. Enjoy using an Android phone without the anti-privacy Google tracking.
- Aldo_MX 11y agoYour point 1. is like saying 1. Turn off every Windows feature mentioned in this article. Installing an AOSP ROM is an order of magnitude harder than disabling the privacy-concerning settings in Windows considering that you probably would need to extract (or write your own) drivers from the vendor-customized ROM.
- howeyc 11y agoExactly, you don't even need to configure an account/email with an online service to use your phone if you go this route.
- thescrewdriver 11y agoUnfortunately 90% of useful apps aren't on F-Droid.
- dublinben 11y agoThat's just your opinion. 90% of the apps in Google play are junk that don't respect user rights or privacy. I'm perfectly content using only the apps available in F-Droid, and have been for years.
