Hi, I want to degoogle a Samsung Tablet I got. There is no LineageOS built out for this recent tablet, so I can only try to degoogle the stock ROM.

Any good guides to follow?

And further guides to remove the Samsung bloat? Thanks!

    You won’t be able to remove all the google spy codes at system level by just debloating, unfortunately.

    For example, google has wifi scanning crap that you can’t turn it off, and google has your device fingerprint, which means if you go to some website with google code in it, google will still know your device went to the website and so on.

    It’s not as simple as some people here says.

      I assume so. I just need to bridge the time until there is a custom ROM available for my device. After running UAD I already have a learning curve trying to find app alternatives. After removing OEM and recommended stuff I cannot even change the wallpaper anymore 😅

        Yeah that sucks. If possible, you may want to sell your device and get another one with more support (usually pixels are the best in terms of custom ROM support) or get another used one for cheap price.
