Hi all,

I created this thread to discuss ways to DeGoogle, remove bloatware, increase privacy and the various ways to remove packages without bricking the device.

Many seem to believe that Onyx is a untrustworthy corporation because they're violating the Linux kernel's license and refusing to release source code. There are some guides to install a firewall to block unidentifiable traffic, which I will link some in the 2nd post.

Due to growing privacy concerns regarding Google, people are also choosing to completely DeGoogle. Another benefit of not using Google Services would be that less RAM is consumed (~300mb). More info in the second post.

I removed all Onyx apps, Google apps and Play Services through adb. The commands are in the second post.

How do you increase privacy? Did you root the device and remove all unwanted apps?

Any other tips and tricks are welcome too!
