Hello /g/uys, I'm going around deleting accounts for shit I don't use, and I was wondering if theres a way to have my android phone work with no gmail.

Don't login with your google account. Done.

but it asks you to right? like to use the store and youtube and shit

Yes, you need a google account to use google services - YouTube, Google Play, Play Music, Gmail, etc. But you can easily replace these. I would reccomend also removing gapps/google services to save on battery. Here are some replacements:

Play Store: Aptoide/apkmirror.com
YouTube: OGTube/OGYoutube/NewPipe
Gmail: AOSP email app from apkmirror
Play Music: Poweramp or any other music app
>>
you'll most likely need to flash a custom rom which does not have gapps, like LineageOS, because it's near imossible and very very painfull to manully uninstall all of google ingration with android

>play store
f-droid
>youtube
use your browser
>gmail
use your browser, dont use gmail
>play music

>install LineageOS
>you're done

In terms of browsers to replace Chrome, I advise mobile Icecat, it's a good alternative to Firefox

Don't install GAPPS
Play Store: F-Droid / Yalp Store (Literally downloads apk's from the Play store but without the GAPPS, and seems to have an update feature too. You need a throwaway google account tho)
YouTube: NewPipe + Flym (Get the RSS feed from your youtube account subscriptions and put it in flym for updates. Set See in Browser function to so newpipe. Works wonders)
GMail: K-9 Mail / AOSP Email / Browser
Music/Video: VLC (Works great and I can use it to stream from my NAS drive)
Maps: OsmAnd~
Facebook: Tinfoil for Facebook / SlimSocial / Browser (Tinfoil doesn't work with messages too well)

Install Xposed + XPrivacy for any apps that spy on you.

Thats about it.
