If you are that paranoid, maybe better use LineageOS for MicroG. It's also available for Mido:

Spying: Google gathers data about where and when you've been, what pages visited, GPS locations, WiFi names (even if these are OFF) Google does that through Android. There's tons of specialist IT sites saying that. "Android is spying", BTW iOS is spyting too.
Didn't you know that? I thought everybody on XDA would knew what dirty spying tactics Google performs.
Incoginto mode in the browser in normal Android stock?! (it doesnt do well even on dekstop PC with linux or Windows)

You seriously beleive that? Look into formus about privacy....
I'm not saying stop using smartphones at all but we can protect ourselfs by using ... .what? LineageOs that other? That's why am asking.
Not to long ago Google admited that they read every mail (of course first by AI algorythms).
BTW Did yo all know that (it is proven by scientisc, showed in Morgan Freemans program)
Google can predict with 80% acurrate rate where and when you will be on any given day in a 1 year period.
Take it to the bank.

look here man, you don't need to be that much paranoid. i know all these things, but they do just to give you a more personalized experience. If you don't want google to be with you. There are two things which will make you completely spy proof. Firstly, change your imei, imei changing will greatly change your device data and no data will be registered as your personal one. "IMEI Spoofing", is what i mean. Secondly, clean flash lineage os, without gapps. Also note that changing imei can result in no calls, or hardware failure.

All custom roms except for Pixel Experience doesn't have Google apps unless you flash it. Just don't use any google apps and also use a paid vpn for some more privacy.

It's hard not to use some basic apps like camera, media, gallery etc.

does it work, deserves a chance to abandon "legacy" NOS, anybody tried?
kenzo is "officially" supported :fingers-crossed:
I just figured out that they make builds for every device seperatly with built in microg. You can easily deodex the offical rom and apply signature spoofing patch but this seems also quite nice to me.
Thanks for this share.

I hate that I can not check and disassociate my frickin ebay app from remembering nightmares that a violated equifax credit report had to delete by the seven years law, as it automatically sussed from my device who I am somehow.
And Google, despite my having to permit them to funk every orifice my phone gots, doesn't easily show me a way to block ebay's violation of my privacy via the microsoft account that is somehow linked to the google account.
And whats more I dont wanna have to permit sms sending for the play services.

Hi guys,
Recently I bought an S9+ and so far I'm loving it. The only issue I have is with this stupid Bixby who can't do anything beside telling me jokes and making reminders.
So, I've been looking far and wide on how to replace, not just disable, Bixby. The post on debloating is great, but it won't let me have Google Assistant answer when I press the Bixby button.
In conclusion, is there a guide on how to replace Bixby with GA at all? Or at least a modified ROM, because even if I like the stock version of Android (Had a moto Z3 before), I got used to the Samsung Experience.
Thank you!

You can use a different launcher such as rootless pixel launcher or Nova to get the feed on the left, but not sure you can set it to Google feed if you're just using Samsung experience (I may be wrong)

Well I can cherry pick that article too, "And what they have been working on looks impressive enough that it could lift Bixby out of obscurity and give*Google, Amazon, Apple and Microsoft*a run for their money. It also uses artificial intelligence to write algorithms capable of performing far more complex tasks, such as booking hotel rooms or buying flowers, all from commands that users speak into their phone, their fridge, their TV or any other of the 1 billion Samsung devices that by next year will be running Bixby. But it's not always the first to market that is the ultimate winner,"

Could. Yep. And it could somehow cause aliens to come down and murder us all. But that's hardly a reason to suggest that Bixby is a worthy competitor NOW, which is what you're doing.
hello,
am on miui 11.0.5.0 global and was able to remove the stock mi browser(v10.....etc).
am trying to install an older version of mi browser that had better features than newer versions , it installs but keeps closing everytime i open it!
is there any workaround to make it work?
I know I'm not answering your question.

Regardless of ads or not, why do you still insist on using a inferior browser when there are so many others out there that do a better job.

the reason for posting this topic is to get help regarding running an older version of miui browser that installs but closes everytime i open in oreo/pie/q ......it runs fine on other android phones on nougat!!.
specifying the feature thats working on this old browser and not working on recent versions wont help coz poeple who "try to help" would simply recommend using other newer versions or even different browsers!!
if i wanted to shut comments ....i would have simply ignored any replies without a direct solution!!.
Okay, so you know how it works in the software world. Nobody codes everything from scratch. What we do is build upon the work of others to get what we want. Your previous browser would have been built with various libraries that it hooks into to provide different functionality. Now a new one has come out which was installed on your fone and this is using later versions of the libraries and possibly some APIs may have been dropped. So you're trying to use the old browser with the new libraries and it's entirely possible that the APIs/ABIs it needs are no longer available. So you're SOL. You're going to have to run your browser in debug mode to see what's wrong. I hope it works out for you.

Hello ,
Is there any way to use app lock in a stock S20 plus?
I know that there is the secure folder but with this you hide the programs which I don't want .
I want to have an app lock to lock the applications and unlock them with fingerprint or face recognition as Xiaomi has it already
Thank you very much

i want this too!!! Can someone make a xposed or magisk module, a flashable zip, anything? Even a guide would be enough. I did this in the past once, where you move the applock.apk into system apps and just edit some file in order for the applock option to come up in settings.
as far as I know that there is no such option, but I would really like it to be

You can do this with Hyperion Launcher

Providing a beautiful yet feature-filled consolidated launcher experience!

Have you tried parental control? I haven't tried yet.
Have you tried these apps from playstore?
This one is better but it only gives you free 3 days trial. After that you must pay.

This on us not as good but is free is you don't mind ads.

I am using the Smart Applock for 2 days now. It's good but a little bit slow .
I am using the fingerprint unlock with this program but sometimes it doesn't appear and I have to put my pass code
We should concentrate on getting the official appLock Samsung app working on rooted devices and not flood this with Thread with third party alternatives that honestly all suck! I know you guys want to help but it’s not what the op asked for so in the end you guys doing the opposite.
Until samsung does something I will use a third party application .
I know that is not the best way.
I just found an Applock application that is very very very good .
It has fingerprint unlock and face unlock.
It supports face unlock only for pixel and some Samsung with Android 9 and above.
When you are in the screen of unlock the application shows the Knox sign in the Right bottom corner. I don't know if this application works with Knox but it shows that

I'm willing to throw some money at it if he can add the Poco F3 baseband to a pad 5 5g custom rom. Same chip set and specs basically.
I want calls and SMS to function. I want to ditch a phone and just have the Pad 5. My online banking is done via OTP (one-time pin). I can withdraw money cardless I just need my SMS to send me the pin.
Also money in and out of my account I'm sent an SMS.
I'll tip in $100 USD. Let's go.
The SMS (both sending and receiving msgs) works fine on mine (Pad 5 pro 5g). The voice call doesn't work at all. You can't even use a dialer for 'secret codes' for testing. I am currently on a GSI, but it was the same on MIUI. I am in the UK if it makes a difference.

Not at all, the miui interface and the google framework is integrated, i need a vanilla rom without such crap, then i can install manually the apk i need for my use.
I will strongly prefer to ditch MIUI if nothing else to greatly reduce the risk of irreversible hardbricks that seems to be fairly common with updates after the first year or so and very rare in case of custom ROMs if at all. Just today a new report mentioned MIUI 13 hardbricking Mi 11 Ultra, Mi 11, Mi 11 Lite 5G. MIUI is just garbage IMO anyway.

Go into developer menu and turn off Miui optimisation. Can sideload any apk once it's turned off.
