...it's basically what the title says. I can't find the GitHub link/QRCode for the repository.

I see. What phone do you have currently? LineageOS for example has support for a huge list of devices.

There is also a version of Lineage that comes with microG preinstalled and it supports all the same devices.

Installing a custom OS isnt super hard but if you arent familiar with using a terminal and such it might be a bit daunting of a project.

SamsungA15. And I also wanna have a separate android phone, just in case. I'm not going full on another OS before making sure it all works well.

Having a quick look, the A15 seems like a notoriously hard target to degoogle. 🫤

I know, I'll buy another phone soon.

Wait, you removed system apps on a Samsung phone? How?

[–] MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Brevent. Command was something like pm user uninstall or... I keep forgetting it :(

[–] solxix@pawb.social 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Brevent looks to me like an app to help you force stop other apps. How did you use it to run adb commands?

[–] MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

You tap the upper left corner (3 lines), then "Execute Command". Then, you type in the command and press enter.

Also, pm user isn't a valid command. Did you mean pm disable-user PACKAGE_OR_COMPONENT?

[–] solxix@pawb.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

If that happens to be the command you ran, then all you've done is disable google play services. You should run pm enable com.google.android.gms to get it running again.
