My point is, there's practically nothing Google related in my phone already. I am going through the settings and apps and can't find anything. Is LineageOS special in this regard? I thought this is the common AOSP experience, I had it the same with other ROMs.
- jqpabc123 4y agoAOSP by itself still contacts Google --- without any additional apps or services installed. /e/OS has described were/how this occurs.
- commoner 4y agoIn case anyone missed it in TFA, here is /e/'s whitepaper on how they substitute and proxy Google services: https://e.foundation/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/e-state-of-degooglisation.pdf https://e.foundation/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/e-state-of-d... (PDF) There's also an updated description of /e/ here: https://doc.e.foundation/what-s-e https://doc.e.foundation/what-s-e
- bornfreddy 4y agoAre you sure about that? Running NetGuard reveals a lot of connections to G where one would not expect them (looking at you, Firefox, too). Also make sure you don't use 8.8.8.8 as DNS. That said, /e/ is practically LineageOS, except you can buy it preinstalled on new phones.
