No idea what this is and searching yields nail polish as the result.
- jwagenet 4y agoShellac is just a varnish/coating, so the implication is Google features are metaphorically painted on the phone hardware and software and you just need to scrape it off.
- jqpabc123 4y agoUnfortunately, what Google embeds into Android software is significantly more adverse than just "shellac". A standard Android phone sends your IMEI and SIM card info to Google servers on boot up before you even have a chance to login.

- jqpabc123 4y agoWhat the UI shows you and what the phone OS actually does are not necessarily the same.
- ryantgtg 4y agoI was making a (funny) joke that they put magic google paint on the phone, in addition to their software in the phone.
- medstrom 4y agoI like how you had to specify that it was funny.
