Hi /g! I need advice on running an Android phone while providing the least amount of data to Google/ marketers. What settings/ programs should I consider? Also general Google/marketers obfuscation thread.

Install Lineage OS without Gapps and use apps from F-Droid.
Install a non-GApped ROM (e.g. PajeetageOS should be fine). Your primary way of getting apps will be F-Droid. If you still want to use apps from Play Store, install Yalp Store. If you want to use apps that require GPS/GSF, make sure signature spoofing works on your ROM (use haystack or needle to patch it) and install microG. Install AdAway and get a list of Google tracker domains.

I have a generic low-end android phone running a close to stock Android 6.0 (pic related). Would it work or only on officially supported phones? (I have a Nexus 5 with cracked screen but incline towards throwing it away as the panel would not justify the cost)

Look on XDA is there a Lineage build for your phone.

Not him but are unofficial lineage ROMs safe?

You can always check the code if you want.

consider the thread he posted if you think he has any coding knowledge

It's never late to start learning.
OP here. I understand that it's possible to compile your own for any device. Any experiences with this?

>>62229500 Signature spoofing is disabled in lineage os and you can't patch it anymore because of some deodexing bullshit.

I want to get a galaxy j7, can I still do all this shit?

I'd usually stay away from non-flagship Scamsungs, but this one seems to support everything, so most likely yes.

I'm too poor for a pricey phone. What about those moto phones?
