last night, my pixel came! I flashed Graphene and I am now running it smoothly!
I am in the process of downloading apps and I have a question: I am interested in at least using discord on this device. It is absolutely one of my most used apps. On PC, I use legchord. Im a big fan. Is there something similar available for mobile? and I have a similar question for Whatsapp, and FB messenger (although those are less important)?
For one, I was getting really irritated about the apps my google device wouldnt let me delete, and also the apps I wanted to side load. That being said, I definitely don’t like meta. I have an app on my PC called caprine. I wouldn’t download first party meta apps, but these are the apps my friends use to talk, so if there is a workaround, I was just asking about that
FYI you can use a combination of Shizuku and Canta to get rid of pretty much any Google app on an Android phone. Useful tip I got here recently.
Pay it forward.
How do they work? Those tools actually delete system apps?
To be honest I’m not sure they work under the hood but they use debug mode and some other stuff to do what they do. Yes they can remove system apps, pretty much anything. They have a traffic light system to warn you about whether its safe to remove some things. Green is good, orange is a bit risky, red is riskier again. The risk usually relates to the impact on other apps or functions working.
Twas pretty easy to set up.
Edit: Screenshot addition. Not quite traffic light system but you get me. Unless they have illuminous pink traffic lights somewhere!
Fair enough. Good luck with the switch!
