I'd like to see this on android too. That shit is the worst. I know we can root and remove it or disable it. It should not be there in the first place and it should definitely be removable.
fyi a lot of preinstalled crapware can be uninstalled just by using adb, no need to root
It shouldn't need to be removable through adb either.
How many regular users do you think would be capable?
I hope more than those who know how to interact in an internet conversation
feel free to feel lucky searching for 'remove android crapware adb'
The big issue here is that it’s both the carriers and the manufacturers who make money off the crapware that’s preinstalled. Many Android phones are generally cheaper by hardware spec compared to iPhones specifically because someone is making money of the preinstalled crapware.
Don't kid yourself, phone cost exactly as much as the company selling them can charge. They don't lower the price because they are making money off the crapware. It only increases their profits.
Android phones are cheaper than iPhones because people are willing to pay more for iPhones.
Your carriers install crapware?
Never seen it happen, but I also don't buy into the scam that is carrier phones subscriptions.
so you are superior, but you also are superior? I mean, you'rereally superior...
I am running DivestOS, a degoogled hardened version of Android.
You can remove as many apps as you like, BUT then, you have no access to your banks, to services etc. We are literally talking about modern slavery on Android if you are Google free.. Without Google's Safety net, most banks and subscribtion based applications are not working. You are enforced to have Google on your phone. Or have 2 devices. One for big brother, one for your personal use.
Kinda why I went with a Pixel phone. Just pure stock Android and nothing else.
Idk, most people don't need half of Googles' apps either. Can you remove them on a Pixel?
Nope, you can't
With grapheneOS you can
Yeah, that wasn't the question.
