How about the option to totally remove google without installing a custom rom.

you start your brand new phone and a pop up appears:

Would you like to remove google and all the other bloatware to start with a blank phone and choose to install exactly what you need and want.

Please click here.

I would then seriously consider buying a new phone instead of slightly older phones I can install custom roms on.

now that would be a thing.

In a perfect world

I have an old Samsung S4 2013 (android 11) and an old Motorola G3 (android 11). I keep the G3 to listen to FM radio as modern phones dont have the FMradio.

My main phone is a onplus 5T with android 14. A superb phone, 8 years old and still runs better than any modern phone my friends own. Cost me £75
