Image Scanning

Google & iOS are now actively scanning your phones images directly off your phone or while in sync. They now determine what they find offensive or inappropriate. Your speech will be next.

“I’m just an ordinary person, I have nothing to hide”

You may have nothing to hide but that doesn’t mean you’re fine to have every single click or swipe on your smartphone being logged and sold to corporations making millions off you.

Your Google searches are linked to your iOS or Google accounts so every search, place visited, person you are near (contact tracing for COVID, hasn’t been removed) and so much more, are all being logged and then a profile built of YOU and then manipulated against YOU. Fact!

“I’m dealing with sensitive information”

You might be working in specific fields like journalism, where your sources and contacts must remain private.

“I’m a business owner, and I care for data sovereignty”

Your business works in a highly competitive market and you’re concerned about your innovations being at the mercy of tech giants, competitors accessing your smartphone and your business data.

Lineage OS

e/OS

LineageOSDoes not have Micro-G installed so any App that requires Google services for notification, will not get those notifications. Example: Email notification or sports scores.

There are many Free and Opensource Apps that do not require this function but if you are going to need it, e/OS or LineageOS with Micro-G are the alternative.

It is an Android based operating system for smartphones, tablet computers, and set-top boxes, with mostly free and open-source software. It is the successor to Android distribution CyanogenMod, from which it was forked in December 2016 when Cyanogen Inc. announced it was discontinuing …

You have control over what access your apps have like, contacts, GPS, notifications and more. Puts you in control.

Comes standard with all the apps needed to get you started. Email, Contacts, Browser, Text app, Camera, Calendar etc.

e/OSComes pre-installed with Micro-G so all Google service Apps should run on e/OS or LineageOS with Micro-G.
 
Apps off the F-Droid store (like the Google Play store) but are Free and Opensource, do not have Google services built into them. You can use the App Lounge for those Apps that are not on the F-Droid store.
 
e/OS is built from the LineageOS system but does come with many useful pre-installed Apps that will make the transition from Google far easier.
SatNav, Backups, email client etc.
Your identity is anonymous through the App Lounge as there are no sign-in details required. You would be able to sign into your Play store account if you really wanted to but this does defeat the point of deGoogling your device.
 
We could have just focused on an OS, but apps and online services are critical components of a smartphone experience, too.

/e/ consists of a fully deGoogled mobile operating system (OS) and carefully selected applications, together forming a privacy-enabled internal environment for mobile phones.

Combined with online services, such as a search engine, email, storage and other online tools, it creates a unique environment privacy-in privacy-out.

Most standard apps are pre-installed but the difference is this system only needs to to sign in with an email address or create an account to have all these details synced and operational. No credit card details required and if you decide to not create an account, it will operate just as well but for you having to setup email accounts etc.

GrapheneOS

Improves the privacy and security of the OS from the bottom up. It deploys technologies to mitigate whole classes of vulnerabilities and make exploiting the most common sources of vulnerabilities substantially more difficult. It improves the security of both the OS and the apps running on it. The app sandbox and other security boundaries are fortified. GrapheneOS tries to avoid impacting the user experience with the privacy and security features. Ideally, the features can be designed so that they’re always enabled with no impact on the user experience and no additional complexity like configuration options. It’s not always feasible, and GrapheneOS does add various toggles for features like the Network permission, Sensors permission, restrictions when the device is locked (USB peripherals, camera, quick tiles), etc. along with more complex user-facing privacy and security features with their own UX.

CalyxOS

Is an Android mobile operating system that puts privacy and security into the hands of everyday users. Plus, proactive security recommendations and automatic updates take the guesswork out of keeping your personal data personal.

deGoogled App Stores

  • The App Lounge (eOS) & Aurora Store is where you will find all the duplicate apps you would find in the Google Play store without having to login to Google.
  • The F-Droid store is a completely opensource alternative that will provide you most, if not all the alternatives you will need to run in an opensource environment.

Important footnote

  1. Always remember, even if there are trackers installed on a running app, your identity is still unknown as you have not needed to sign in to any account to access anything so your identity is not known.
  2. The other major advantage is the opensource operating system software is not sending anonymous user data that might be associated with your to Google or Apple. This is because the operating system software is opensource and any such action would be known by the opensource community.
  3. Google and iOS are now actively scanning your photos and determining what they deem to be inappropriate and can and have banned users.
