Hello. I have been trying to DeGoogle for about one month, migrating from Google to other services. But the biggest obstacle is Android, which is deeply embedded with Google services and, of course, trackers. It’s really, really hard to replace it with alternatives. There are no alternatives I know that are compatible with my phone. Maybe I will have to buy a new phone, or look for even more alternatives, or code my own operating system (OS) (but I can’t code!). I don’t know whether I can De- this Android. Hmmm…
Is there any good way to De- this Android? If I can’t, is there any way to improve privacy and minimize the ability and impact of Google on this “failed to DeGoogle” phone? Thanks for any advice.
I’m using Redmi Note 13.
I was in the same boat until a few days ago. I bought a used Pixel 6a for $68 USD and installed GrapheneOS on it.
It really is simple to switch it over, and buying the phone used means no money went directly to Google. I haven’t had any issues running any of the apps that I’m accustomed to, all in all a great decision.

GrapheneOS is fantastic, to escape the surveillance capitalism.

This is the way to go
