If I'm not mistaken, Anon's Phone will still communicate with Google services for location services and push notifications after this.

For me it just :

  • root it with magisk
  • install adguard + adaway + blocker + LuckyPatcher + LSPOSED
  • add custom filter to adguard & adaway like HAGEZI, 1Host, Cubic, StevenBlack
  • Tweak adguard so it always run on startup, using DNS Bootstrap/Falback, enable AntiDPI, etc...
  • Install LSPOSED Modules like HideMyAppList, Disable Target API Block, Let Me Downgrade, BOOTLOADERSPOOFER, etc...
  • Set Blocker mode to package manager
  • Disable any SDK/Tracker inside any apps with Blocker
  • Install magisk module like PIFork, ZygiskNext, Shamiko, etc
  • Reboot my phone
  • Tweak any LSPOSED Module so i can use any mobile banking apps or apps that stop working if phone rooted
  • Reboot again
  • Check play integrity fix & disable play protect
  • ??????
  • PROFIT....

I like that in this scenario they still have to install Whatsapp to be able to phone on the phone.

Frankly, my stance to this is to just do what's convenient and deal with the rest. For big, meaningful change you need regulation, not user behavior.

What do you mean? They can phone without, they install it to "communicate with boomeer relatives", as it's written.

[-] MudMan@fedia.io 2 points 1 week ago

It was hyperbole... but only just. Even most of my audio calls happen over Whatsapp these days. Certainly 100% of the texting.

I know this is very region-dependent, so mileage may vary, but I did find it funny that it was acknowledged here despite the deliberately convoluted deep scrubbing depicted on the rest of the post. It's... less funny now that you made me explain it, though.

OK, I've never used WhatsApp so I thought you meant that with these changes the regular call feature would be broken.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
