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....
For me i'ts just
- root
- unlock bootloader
- flash custom rom
- install F-Droid
Btw, you should remove Play Services too, they are the main ads/tracking point most of the libraries in the apps communicate with.
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.
