I implore you not to advise me to ditch the phone for Pixel. That's a topic for another day. This post is about how far I can push the limits on an inherently spyware riddled Samsung. I use the Play Store for USB Audio Player (paid) and an electronic ID app required to do most payment and government related tasks here. I am not logged into Google or Samsung. Here are my apps, which I manage with Obtainium:
I have blocked most internal trackers and "dangerous" permissions/app ops with the AppManager. I have also removed all the safe and some expert level stuff with Universal Android Debloater. Any and all constructive advice is welcome! :D
I use the FUTO keyboard made by the same people who made grayjay and it in my experience works better than either open board or heliboard
I am on a Samsung s21+ and managed to push it pretty far
I would suggest downloading libre-Find, it isn't super good now for helping find Foss alternatives for apps but it keeps getting better
On its tracker I am 98% foss but I have it set to exclude the few offline only cracked/pirated apps I have on my device
