It's not truly free from Google unless an alternate ROM is installed; for example, there could be some underlying BS with Google services in settings.

At least iOS icons have uniform shape and size. Android icons are a mess, that is why it needs an app drawer, so you need to hide all the ugly icons,

And to remove google from android you have to use a custom rom, made by some Indian which is full of vulnerabilizes.

Apple is literally a botnet. Also encryption is meaningless since your iPhone is full of backdoors. It's not the government you have to worry about but the hackers in darknet trading what the backdoors on iPhones are.
I actually used to have an iPhone 6S but sold it on ebay when I found out the FBI broke into an encrypted iPhone. If apple can't protect you from the Feds who can barely use Internet explorer then what hope do we have of apple protecting us from real hackers?

>>54918366
Android has more backdoors than any iPhone.
And the iPhone that the FBI claimed to have broke into was an outdated and old iPhone. It would never happen with a newer model. You are retarded.
I want reddit to leave
I disabled all my gapps, does that essentially do the same thing
>>54918309
To remove Apple from iPhone you have to... oh, wait, you can't. The only way you can even install programs of your choice is by using a jailbreak developed a 14 year old Chinese kid a week after every patch is released, which is an excellent example of how great Apple security is.
Cyanogenmod is an excellent replacement for Android. If you want to go further, Replicant is also a viable alternative.
>>54918184

Okay well show me the source code where the backdoors are. You can find the source code here btw: https://source.android.com
>And the iPhone that the FBI claimed to have broke into was an outdated and old iPhone. It would never happen with a newer model. You are retarded.
The iPhone 5C has only been out for less than a year you fucking dumbass. The iPhone 6S is guaranteed to be full of back doors.
Enjoy hackers breaking into your iphone.
I only use Gmail, Google maps, Google calendar, YouTube, Google translate, and Google drive.
>>54918327
Apartheid?
>>54918396
>new iPhones aren't vulnerable
They are. Every version of iOS is jailbroken a week after its released by some Chinese teenager. The whole FBI thing was a big PR stunt. The FBI had a backdoor the whole time, they just didn't want to disclose it to the court during Discovery, so they asked Apple to, as they had plenty of times prior. The judge screwed up and didn't seal the request and Apple had to feign a defense. When it was obvious that Apple was going to win, the FBI simply bought an exploit out of petty cash.
>>54918451
Those are both still Android, retard
>>54918254
I don't know, man. If icons are not to someone's liking, then there are many more options that can be downloaded. Giant iOS icons, on the other hand, can not be easily changed, and they make it seem that the phone was created for blind and/or retarded.

>>54918173
Yes, you can modify partitions. You would need root access and possibly a 3rd party recovery like Team Win's. Then you would adb from a computer in order to change the partitions from the terminal.

>>54917628
How the fuck do you function?
Gapps is one of the things that makes android more relevant than iOS. Do you seriously think the botnet is gone if you don't have gapps?
>>54920588
There is a viable alternative for all the Google Apps except Navigation. That's the sole reason I keep them installed.
Which part of them do you think is highly critical?
>>54918147

Confirmed for somebody who has never used Android. Your phone has to have root access, and you need to have a root-capable file manager or an app that can remove the system apps.
You don't have to install a whole different OS to remove them.

Is this bait? You can download the apk.
I'm running a Nexus 4 with OmniROM, F-Droid and microG. Have never been happier with my phone. Except for the battery life but that's what I get for buying a used Nexus 4 I guess.
Ever since I installed CM on my sony phone the temps have been skyrocketing for some reason, how do I fix that? I want to keep using it..
I was going a few months FOSS, but there was a game I really really wanted to I installed the play store. No other google apps though.
>left windows phone cuz muh android apps
>one year later, only listen to music and browse the web, I don' even use my bank app
>android phone starting to lag, even after cleaning cache and other shit
I would if Strava didn't require Play Services
>>54924398
You should have just installed MicroG and downloaded the apk.

>>54924423
Didn't know MicroG existed back then.
>>54924481
Couldn't help it. To begin with I didn't went FOSS because of my privacy, but because it was lighter and not bloated.

I know what you mean, with the horrific bloat preinstalled on stock phones and even multiple app stores annoying you by downloading updates for apps you don't even want. This is why I would unironically recommend anyone not comfortable with installing aftermarket roms to buy an iphone.
Anyway, with a device that has more sensors than anything else you own, manages your communication, notes and calendar, is always online, and accompanies you wherever you go, I really really suggest you think about privacy. Even if you don't care anywhere else, this is the one thing where you should.
>>54924572
>trading freedom for anime
For the FOSS apps that are getting better and less bloated!
>>54924650
I'll consider going FOSS again and trying out that MicroG thing. I always felt like Cyanogen wasn't the right rom for the job though.
>>54924652
It's a really good game, at least.
>>54924662
nobody uses telegram kiddo
>>54920584

>>54924684
Cyanogen is also not fully FOSS. They've demonstrated in the past that they have no problems with integrating proprietary components. For a list, see all the shit that freecyngn removes. If your phone is supported, have a look at Omni; they seem to care, and it works for me.

Not at the hardware level, but at the software level it is vastly and significantly lessened, and that's a good thing.

>with online backup
That is quite possibly the most idiotic thing that one can do. I cringe erry tyme.
>>54925705
No real "problem". They work, and they work well. In return for those apps you have to let Google collect every single bit of info about you that they can get their hands on - 24/7. They then put you in a group of individuals, who are more or less like you in their habits and their likes, and then Google "sells" that group of like-minded individuals to advertisers.
Some people are not with comfortable being handled like cattle, so they go Gapps.
What do you gapps free guys use to sync your contacts and back up stuff, dropbox?

Also, will the maps, for example on CityMapper will work without google maps installed?
>>54925705
GAPP is basically Google forcing you to use their stock android apps on your phone. It's Google way to create Microsoft's style vendor lock over their OS. You can run more about it here.
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/10/googles-iron-grip-on-android-controlling-open-source-by-any-means-necessary/1/
Gapps eats up a lot of resources for your phone's ram/battery, and update take up storage for your phone too. If you don't run Nexus or stock android, that means your phone runs both phone manufacturer's bloatware AND gapps at the same time. That's a lot of bloatware!
>>5492680
Alternative app-stores, and side-load the apk. There are also websites that can rip apks from play store without making account to.
>>54926973
Apkmirror is the most trustworthy place I've found for APKs
What do you guys think about Aptoide for an APK store? It is an opensource APK store.
>>54926973

>>54928287
They got caught with their dick in their hand when the judge forgot to seal the FBI's request. It was Apple who made a big deal about it as a PR stunt. They had previously unlocked phones for the FBI. After it was obvious the FBI might lose, they gave up and paid a few dollars for a third party to exploit it.
