Anybody got a good walkthrough on how to degoogle an android phone? The thing is half broken without a google account. (ok, aptoide and f-droid help for starters)
You need to install GrapheneOS, /e/, iode or Lineage OS (people will tell you only Graphene OS is truly private but that's not true). After that simply never log in with your google account. Use only apps that don't require google account. Aurora is a Play Store client that works without google account.
Eh, my phone is not in the compatible lineage list, gotta check that before I buy next time.
