Within a few minutes I can deactivate Google Play Services on an Android phone using ADB. The universal android debloater available on Github makes it easier. The better solution is a custom OS forked from Android, but what is possible depends on the device.
- KennyBlanken 3y agoDisabling Google Play Services isn't the problem. The problem is that a huge number of apps will not run without Google Play Services, because Google puts all their fun/useful APIs and toolkits in it so they can be closed-source.
- kornhole 3y agoYes if you are dependent on Google or Google integrated apps, simply deactivating it on a standard OS may not be a fit option for you. Graphene has built shims to make most apps work, but you might have a problem with another OS. I deleted my Google account many years ago and have not had Google Play on my devices since then. I use very few proprietary apps anyways.
