Disable Your Mobile Ad ID

The most noticeable change in behavior would actually be lack of push notifications. At least by default - you can set up push without Google (like with UnifiedPush), but not all apps support that.
I dislike being bothered if i'm not actively using the device, so that's a plus for me.

wrote last edited by [email protected]the most noticable change is when the developer built all functionality around every kind of firebase service, and didn't care to handle the case when those are not available

you can just silence all the notifications, and still know which messaging app out of the 5 has new messages, and whether you got emails, etc

I don't have one. GOS

Yes but internet exist so they are not stuck if they actually put some effort in. Unfortunately people don't care the way they should.

most people are not
- technically literate to install a custom rom with a computer's command prompt
- willing to give up bank apps and sometimes phone based payment
even just considering the first point, it is really not just "some" effort. sure we can do it, but this is a very small bubble.
I think it's comparable to replacing the windows on your house all by yourself, from selection, across acquisition and taking out the old one, to installing the new one nicely and with insulation. -

Used phones exist. GOS is not the only option either. So basically any phone can be improved with at least lineage.

Yeah, that's why I don't like people saying it's "GOS or nothing".
Actually, it's sadly not "basically every phone" - some brands make bootloader unlocking hard or very complicated. And my old phone was one of such, not even in the list of supported devices.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Indeed that's why people should learn from it and not buy such crap in the future. If it's not a lineage official supported device next step is xda forums for a rom. And if its really bad at least root the stock one and remove/block the worst of it. I rarely seen a phone where there is nothing to do at all but the junk heap
