Yeah its difficult in that sense, also with Android's notification service (Google Firebase Cloud Messaging). Theyre doing their best as of now. Unless they flashed a degoogled ROM.

You can filter out the garbage using Next DNS. It's great and free.

Do de-Googled OneUI ROMs exist? I remember in the S3 days (last time I modded Samsung), TouchWiz (what it was called then) was full bloat. I never saw a de-bloated (or de-Googled) TouchWiz ROM.

Not since the introduction of OneUI 8. Those with older OneUI have some options, Lineage has roms for models up to S20 series I think.

Not the S10, not the one I have.

I don't really mind though, I used to do custom firmware, never used Lineage but I used CyanogenMod plenty of times. I've checked, though. But it's fine, the S10 is kinda just a prop phone anyway, that happens to have a ton of music on it. And it's Animal Crossing themed. ;)

Are you sure, because it is listed on their supported devices list. Unless it's the SoC that's different.

Only the international/unlocked model. I have a carrier locked version. I don’t care, it’s WiFi only. It doesn’t have cell service.
