My Google-free Android life
======
People have been asking me a lot lately about my phone, my Android setup and how I manage to use my smartphone without Google Services. Well, this is a post that aims to address precisely that. I would like to make this article really beginner-friendly so Ill try to go slow, going through things one by one and including screenshots so you can have a better view on how things happen and work like.
At first Ill start with why Google Services are (imo) bad for your device. I could cut it short and guide you to this [post][1] by [Richard Stallman][2], but Im grabbing a few main points from it and adding them here.
* Nonfree software required
* In general, most Google services require running nonfree Javascript code. Nowadays, nothing whatsoever appears if Javascript is disabled, even making a Google account requires running nonfree software (Javascript sent by the site), same thing for logging in.
* Surveillance
* Google quietly combines its ad-tracking profiles with its browsing profiles and stores a huge amount of data on each user.
* Terms of Service
* Google cuts off accounts for users that resell Pixel phones. They lose access to all of their mail and documents stored in Google servers under that account.
* Censorship
* Amazon and Google have cut off domain-fronting, a feature used to enable people in tyrannical countries to reach communication systems that are banned there.
* Google has agreed to perform special censorship of Youtube for the government of Pakistan, deleting views that the state opposes. This will help the illiberal Pakistani state suppress dissent.
* Youtubes “content ID” automatically deletes posted videos in a way copyright law does not require.
These are just a few reasons, but you can read the post by RMS I linked above in which he tries to explain these points in detail. Although it may look like a tinfoil hat reaction to you, all these actions already happen everyday in real life.
### Next on the list, my setup and a tutorial on how I achieved it
I own a **[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro][3]** smartphone (codename **whyred** ), produced in China by [Xiaomi][4], which I bought for around 185 EUR 4 months ago (from the time of writing this post).
Now you might be thinking, but why did you buy a Chinese brand, they are not reliable. Yes, it is not made from the usuals as you would expect, such as Samsung (which people often associate with Android, which is plain wrong), OnePlus, Nokia etc, but you should know almost every phone is produced in China.
There were a few reasons I chose this phone, first one of course being the price. It is a quite **budget-friendly** device, so most people are able to afford it. Next one would be the specs, which on paper (not only) are pretty decents for the price tag. With a 6 inch screen (Full HD resolution), a **4000 mAh battery** (superb battery life), 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, dual back cameras (12MP + 5MP), a front camera with flash (13MP) and a decent efficient Snapdragon 636, it was probably the best choice at that moment.
The issue with it was that it came with [MIUI][5], the Android skin that Xiaomi ships with most of its devices (except the Android One project devices). Yes, it is not that horrible, it has some extra features, but the problems lie deeper within. One of the reasons these devices from Xiaomi are so cheap (afaik they only have 5-10% win margin from sales) is that **they include data mining and ads in the system altogether with MIUI**. In this way, the system apps requires extra unnecessary permissions that mine your data and bombard you with ads, from which Xiaomi earns money.
Funnily enough, the Weather app included wanted access to my contacts and to make calls, why would it need that if it would just show the weather? Another case was with the Recorder app, it also required contacts and internet permissions, probably to send those recordings back to Xiaomi.
To fix this, Id have to format the phone and get rid of MIUI. This has become increasingly difficult with the latest phones in the market.
The concept of formatting a phone is simple, you remove the existing system and install a new one of your preference (Android-only in this case). To do that, you have to have your [bootloader][6] unlocked.
> A bootloader is a computer program that loads an operating system (OS) or runtime environment for the computer after completion of the self-tests. — [Wikipedia][7]
The problem here is that Xiaomi has a specific policy about the bootloader unlocking. A few months ago, the process was like this. You would have to [make a request][8] to Xiaomi to obtain an unlock code for your phone, by giving a valid reason, but this would not always work, as they could just refuse your request without reason and explanation.
Now, that process has changed. Youll have to download a specific software from Xiaomi, called [Mi Unlock][9], install it in your Windows PC, [activate Debugging Settings in Developer Options][10] on your phone, reboot to the bootloader mode (by holding the Volume Down + Power button while the phone is off) and connect the phone to your computer to start a process called “Approval”. This process starts a timer on the Xiaomi servers that will allow you to **unlock the phone only after a period of 15 days** (or a month in some rare cases, totally random) goes by.
![Mi Unlock app][11]
After this period of 15 days has passed, you have to re-connect your phone and do the same procedure as above, then by pressing the Unlock button your bootloader will be unlocked and this will allow you to install other ROM-s (systems). **Careful, make sure to backup your data because unlocking the bootloader deletes everything in the phone**.
The next step would be finding a system ([ROM][12]) that works for your device. I searched through the [XDA Developers Forum][13], which is a place where Android developers and users exchange ideas, apps etc. Fortunately, my phone is quite popular so it had [its own forum category][14]. There, I skimmed through some popular ROM-s for my device and decided to use the [AOSiP ROM][15] (AOSiP standing for Android Open Source illusion Project).
**EDIT** : Someone emailed me to say that my article is exactly what [/e/][16] does and is targeted to. I wanted to say thank you for reaching out but that is not true at all. The reasoning behind my opinion about /e/ can also be found in this [website][17], but Ill list a few of the reasons here.
eelo is a “foundation” that got over 200K € in funding from Kickstarter and IndieGoGo, promising to create a mobile OS and web services that are open and secure and protect your privacy.
1. Their OS is based on LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1) with microG and other open source apps with it, which already exists for a long time now and its called [Lineage for microG][18].
2. Instead of building all apps from the source code, they download the APKs from [APKPure][19] and put them in the ROM, without knowing if those APKs contain proprietary code/malware in them.
3. At one point, they were literally just removing the Lineage copyright header from their code and adding theirs.
4. They love to delete negative feedback and censor their users opinions in their Telegram group chat.
In conclusion, I **dont recommend using /e/** ROM-s (at least until now).
Another thing you would likely want to do is have [root access][20] to your phone, to make it truly yours and modify files in the system, such as use a system-wide adblocker etc. To do this, I decided to use [Magisk][21], a godsend app developed by a student to help you gain root access on your device and install what are called [modules][22], basically software.
After downloading the ROM and Magisk, I had to install them on my phone. To do that, I moved the files to my SD card on the phone. Now, to install the system, I had to use something called a [recovery system][23]. The one I use is called [TWRP][24] (standing for TeamWin Recovery Project), a popular solution.
To install the recovery system (sounds hard, I know), I had to [flash][20] the file on the phone. To do that, I connected my phone with the computer (Fedora Linux system) and with something called [ADB Tools][25] I issued a command that overwrites the system recovery with the custom one I had.
> fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
After this was done, I turned off the phone and kept Volume Up + Power button pressed until I saw the TWRP screen show up. That meant I was good to go and it was ready to receive my commands.
![TWRP screen][26]
Next step was to **issue a Wipe command** , necessary when you first install a custom ROM on your phone. As you can see from the image above, the Wipe command clears the Data, Cache and Dalvik (there is also an advanced option that allows us to tick a box to delete the System one too, as we dont need the old one anymore).
This takes a few moments and after that, your phone is basically clean. Now its time to **install the system**. By pressing the Install button on the main screen, we select the zip file we added there before (the ROM file) and swipe the screen to install it. Next, we have to install Magisk, which gives us root access to the device.
**EDIT** : As some more experienced/power Android users might have noticed until now, there is no [GApps][27] (Google Apps) included. This is what we call GApps-less in the Android world, not having those packages installed at all.
Note that one of the downsides of not having Google Services installed is that some of your apps might not work, for example their notifications might take longer to arrive or might not even work at all (this is what happens with Mattermost app for me). This happens because these apps use [Google Cloud Messaging][28] (now called [Firebase][29]) to wake the phone and push notifications to your phone.
You can solve this (partially) by installing and using [microG][30] which provides some features of Google Services but allows for more control on your side. I dont recommend using this because it still helps Google Services and you dont really give up on them, but its a good start if you want to quit Google slowly and not go cold turkey on it.
After successfully installing both, now we reboot the phone and **tada** 🎉, we are in the main screen.
### Next part, installing the apps and configuring everything
This is where things start to get easier. To install the apps, I use [F-Droid][31], an alternative app store that includes **only free and open source apps**. If you need apps that are not available there, you can use [Aurora Store][32], a client to download apps from the Play Store without using your Google account or getting tracked.
F-Droid has what are called repos, a “storehouse” that contains apps you can install. I use the default ones and have added another one from [IzzyOnDroid][33], that contains some more apps not available from the default F-Droid repo and is updated more often.
![My repos][34]
Below you will find a list of the apps I have installed, what they replace and their use.
This is pretty much **my list of the most useful F-Droid apps** I use, but unfortunately these are NOT the only apps I use. The proprietary apps I use (I know, I might sound a hypocrite, but not everything is replaceable, not yet at least) are as below:
* AliExpress
* Boost for Reddit
* Google Camera (coupled with Camera API 2, this app allows me to take wonderful pictures with a 185 EUR phone, its just too impressive)
* Instagram
* MediaBox HD (allows me to stream movies)
* Mi Fit (an app that pairs with my Mi Band 2)
* MyVodafoneAL (the carrier app)
* ProtonMail (email app)
* Shazam Encore (to find those songs you usually listen in coffee shops)
* Snapseed (photo editing app, really simple, powerful and quite good)
* Spotify (music streaming)
* Titanium Backup (to backup my app data, wifi passwords, calls log etc.)
* ViPER4Android FX (music equalizer)
* VSCO (photo editing, never use it really)
* WhatsApp (E2E proprietary messaging app, almost everyone I know has it)
* WiFi Map (mapped hotspots that are available, handy when abroad)
This is pretty much it, all the apps I use on my phone. **The configs are then pretty simple and straightforward and I can give a few tips**.
1. Read and check the permissions of apps carefully, dont click Install mindlessly.
2. Try to use as many open source apps as possible, they both respect your privacy and are free (as in both free beer and freedom).
3. Use a VPN as much as you can, find a reputable one and dont use free ones, otherwise you get to be the product and youll get your data harvested.
4. Dont keep your WiFi/mobile data/location on all the time, it might be a security risk.
5. Try not to rely on fingerprint unlock only, or better yet use only PIN/password/pattern unlock, as biometric data can be cloned and used against you, for example to unlock your phone and steal your data.
And as a bonus for reading far down here, **a screenshot of my home screen** right now.

我的 Google-free 安卓之旅
======
最近人们经常问我有关我手机的事情,比如安卓怎么安装,怎样绕过 Google Service 使用手机。好吧,这篇文章就来详细的解决那些问题。我尽可能让这篇文章适合初学者,因此我会说的很慢,一个一个来讲并且附上截图,你就能更好地看到它是怎样运作的。
首先我会告诉你为什么 Google Services在我看来对你的设备不好。我可以让你看 [Richard Stallman][2] 写的这篇[文章][1]并摘取一部分,但我决定抓住几个要点附在这。
* 需要<ruby>非自由软件<rt>Nonfree software</rt></ruby>
* 大体上,许多 Google Services 需要运行在非自由的 Javascript 代码之上。现如今,如果禁用掉 Javascript什么都没有了甚至 Google 帐号都需要运行非自由软件(由站点发送的 JavaScript对于登录也是。
* 被监视
* Google 悄悄地把他的<ruby>广告跟踪配置文件<rt>ad-tracking profiles</rt></ruby>与浏览配置文件结合在一起,并为每个用户存储大量数据。
* 服务条款
* Google 会终止转售 Pixel 手机用户的账户。他们无法访问帐户下保存在 Google Services 中的所有邮件和文档。
* 审查
* Amazon 和 Google 切断了<ruby>域前置<rt>domain-fronting</rt></ruby>,该技术能使身处专制国家的人们访问到那里禁止的通信系统。
* Google 已经同意为巴基斯坦政府执行特殊的 Youtube 审查,删除反动内容。
* Youtube 的“content ID”会自动删除已发布的视频这并不包含在版权法中。
这只是几个原因,你可以阅读上面我提到的 RMS 的文章,他详细解释了这几点。尽管听起来骇人听闻,但这些行为在现实生活中已经每天在发生。
### 下一步, 我的搭建教程
我有一款[小米 Redmi Note 5 Pro][3] 智能手机(代号**whyred**),生产于中国的[小米][4]。它是 4 个月之前(写这篇文章的时候)我花了大约 185 欧元买的。
现在你也许会想,“但你为什么买中国品牌,他们不可靠”。是的,它不是通常你所期望的(品牌)所生产的,例如三星(人们通常会将它和安卓联系在一起,这显然是错的)、一加、诺基亚等。但你应当知道几乎所有的手机都生产于中国。
我选择这款手机有几个原因,首先当然是价格。它是一款相当高<ruby>**性价比**<rt>budget-friendly</rt></ruby>的产品,大多数人都能买得起。下一个原因(不仅仅)是说明书上的规格,在这个<ruby>价位<rt>price tag</rt></ruby>上相当合适。拥有 6 英尺屏幕(<ruby>全高清分辨率<rt>Full HD resolution</rt></ruby>**4000 毫安电池**一流的电池寿命4GB RAM64GB 存储双后摄像头12 MP + 5 MP一个带闪光灯的前摄像头13 MP和一个高性能的<ruby>骁龙<rt>Snapdragon</rt></ruby> 636它可能是那时候最好的选择。
随之而来的问题是 [MIUI][5],大多数小米设备附带的安卓皮肤(除了 Android One 项目设备)。是的,它没有那么可怕,它有一些额外的功能,但问题在更深的地方。小米设备如此便宜(据我所知销售利润仅有 5-10%)的一个原因是**他们在系统里伴随 MIUI 添加了数据挖掘和广告**。这样的话,系统应用需要额外不必要的权限来获取你的数据并且进行广告轰炸,从中获取利润。
更有趣的是,包含在内的天气应用想要访问我的联系人并且打电话,如果它仅是显示天气的话为什么需要访问。另一个例子是录音机应用,它也需要联系人和网络权限,可能想把录音发送回小米。
为了解决它,我不得不格式化手机并且摆脱 MIUI。这在最近市场上的手机上就变得极为艰难。
格式化手机的想法很简单,删除掉现有的系统然后安装一个新的喜欢的系统(这次是原生安卓)。为了实现它,你先得解锁 [bootloader][6]。
> bootloader 是一个在计算机完成自检后为其加载操作系统或者运行环境的计算机程序。—[维基百科][7]
问题是小米关于解锁 bootloader 有明确的政策。几个月之前,流程就像这样。你需向小米[申请][8]解锁代码,并提供真实的原因,但不是每次都成功,因为他们可以拒绝你的请求并且不提供理。
现在,流程变了。你要从小米那下载一个软件,叫做 [Mi Unlock][9],在 Windows 电脑上安装它,在手机的[开发者模式中打开调试选项][10],重启到 bootloader 模式(关机状态下长按音量下 + 电源键)并将手机连接到电脑上,开始一个叫做“同意”的流程。这个过程会在小米的服务器上启动一个定时器,允许你**在 15 天之后解锁手机**(在一些少数情况下或者一个月,完全随机)。
![Mi Unlock app][11]
15 天过去后,重新连接手机并重复之前的步骤,这时候按下解锁键,你的 bootloader 就会解锁,并且能够安装其他 ROM系统。**注意,确保你已经备份好了数据,因为解锁 bootloader 会清空手机。**
下一步就是找一个兼容的系统([ROM][12])。我在 [XDA 开发者论坛上][13]找了个遍,它是 Android 开发者和用户们交流想法、应用等东西的地方。幸运的是,我的手机相当流行,因此论坛上有它[专门的版块][14]。在那儿,我掠过一些流行的 ROM 并决定使用 [AOSiP ROM][15]。AOSiP 代表<ruby>安卓开源 illusion 项目<rt>Android Open Source illusion Project</rt></ruby>
**校订**:有人发邮件告诉我说文章里写的东西与目的就是[/e/][16]。我想说谢谢你的帮助,但完全不是这样。我关于 /e/ 的看法背后的原因可以见此[网站][17],但我仍会在此列出一些原因。
eelo 是一个从 Kickstarter 和 IndieGoGo 上集资并超过 200K € 的“基金会”,承诺创造一个开放、安全且保护隐私的移动 OS 和网页服务器。
1. 他们的 OS 基于 LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1) 且搭载 microG 和其他开源应用,此系统已经存在很长一段时间了并且现在叫做 [Lineage for microG][18]。
2. 所有的应用程序并非从源代码构建,而是从 [APKPure][19] 上下载安装包并推送进 ROM不知道那些安装包中是否包含<ruby>专有代码<rt>proprietary code</rt></ruby><ruby>恶意软件<rt>malware</rt></ruby>
3. 有一段时间,它们就那样随意地从代码中删除 Lineage <ruby>版权标头<rt>copyright header</rt></ruby>并加入自己的。
4. 他们喜欢删除负面反馈并且监视用户 Telegram 群聊中的舆论。
总而言之,我**不建议使用 /e/** ROM。至少现在
另一件你有可能要做的事情是获取手机的 [root 权限][20],让它真正的成为你的手机,并且修改系统中的文件,例如使用系统范围的 adblocker 等。为了实现它,我决定使用 [Magisk][21],一个天赐的应用,它由一个学生开发,可以帮你获取设备的 root 权限并安装叫做[模块][22]的基础软件。
下载 ROM 和 Magisk 之后,我得在手机上安装它们。为了完成安装,我将文件移动到了 SD 卡上。现在,若要安装系统,我需要使用 [recovery system][23]。我用的是较为普遍的 [TWRP][24](代表 TeamWin Recovery Project
要安装 recovery system听起来有点难我知道我需要将文件[烧录][20]进手机。为了完成烧录,我将手机用一个叫做 [ADB 的工具][25]连接上电脑Fedora Linux 系统)。使用命令让自己定制的 recovery 系统覆盖掉原先的。
> fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
完成之后,我关掉手机并按住音量上和电源键,直到 TWRP 界面显示。这意味着我进行顺利,并且它已经准备好接收我的指令。
![TWRP screen][26]
下一步是**发送擦除命令**,在你第一次为手机安装自定义 ROM 时是必要的。如上图所示,擦除命令会清除掉<ruby>数据<rt>Data</rt></ruby><ruby>缓存<rt>Cache</rt></ruby>和 Dalvik 。(这里也有高级选项让我们可以勾选上来删除掉系统,如果我们不再需要旧系统的话)
这需要几分钟去完成,之后,你的手机基本上就干净了。现在是时候**安装系统了**。通过按下主屏幕上的安装按钮,我们选择之前添加进的 zip 文件ROM 文件)并滑动屏幕安装它。下一步,我们需要安装 Magisk它可以给我们访问设备的 root 权限。
**校订**:一些有经验的安卓用户或发烧友也许注意到了,手机上不包含 [GApps](谷歌应用)。这在安卓世界里称之为 GApps-less一个 GAps 应用也不安装。
注意有一个不好之处在于若不安装 Google Services 有的应用无法正常工作,例如它们的通知也许会花更长的时间到达或者根本不起作用。(对我来说这一点是最影响应用程序使用的)原因是这些应用使用了 [Google Cloud Messaging][28](现在叫做 [Firebase][29])唤醒手机并推送通知。
你可以通过安装使用 [microG][30]部分地解决它microG 提供一些 Google Services 的特性且允许你拥有更多的控制。我不建议使用它,因为它仍然有助于 Google Services 并且你不一定信任它。但是,如果你没法<ruby>立刻放弃使用<rt>go cold turkey on it</rt><ruby>,只想慢慢地退出谷歌,这便是一个好的开始。
都成功地安装之后,现在我们重启手机,就进入了主屏幕。
### 下一个部分,安装应用并配置一切
事情开始变得简单了。为了安装应用,我使用了 [F-Droid][31],一个可替代的应用商店,里面**只包含免费和开源应用**。如果这里没有你要的应用,你可以使用 [Aurora Store][32],一个从应用商店里下载应用且不需要使用谷歌帐号或被追踪的客户端。
F-Droid 里面有 repos一个包含你可以安装应用的“仓库”。我使用默认的仓库并从 [IzzyOnDroid][33] 添加了另一个,它有更多默认仓库中没有的应用,并且它更新地更频繁。
![My repos][34]
从下面你可以发现我所安装的应用清单,它们替代的应用与用途。

这些差不多就是我列出的一张**最实用的 F-Droid 应用**清单,但不巧,这些并不是所有应用。我使用的专有应用如下(我知道,我也许听起来是一个伪君子,但并不是所有的应用都可以替代,至少现在不是):
* AliExpress
* Boost for Reddit
* Google Camera与 Camera API 2 耦合,它可以让我用 185 欧元的手机拍一张非常棒的图片,真是太不可思议了)
* Instagram
* MediaBox HD (让我可以看流媒体电影)
* Mi Fit (与小米手环 2 配对的应用)
* MyVodafoneAL (运营商应用)
* ProtonMail email 应用)
* Shazam Encore (识别咖啡店里你经常能听到的歌曲)
* Snapseed (图片编辑应用,非常简单,强大,相当棒)
* Spotify (在线音乐)
* Titanium Backup备份应用数据wifi 密码,通话记录等)
* ViPER4Android FX (音乐均衡器)
* VSCO (图片编辑,从没真正用过)
* WhatsApp E2E 专有聊天应用,几乎我认识的所有人都有它)
* WiFi Map地图标注可用的热点在国外非常方便
差不多就是这样,我用的手机上所有的应用。**配置非常简单明了,我可以给几点提示**。
1. 仔细阅读和检查应用的权限,不要无脑地点“安装”。
2. 尽可能多地使用开源应用,它们即尊重你的隐私又是免费的。(既“<ruby>free beer<rt>软件好用下次请我喝一杯</rt></ruby>” 又自由)
3. 尽可能地使用 VPN找一个有名气的别用免费的否则你将被收割数据然后成为产品。
4. 不要一直打开 WIFI/移动数据/定位,有可能引起安全隐患。
5. 不要只依赖指纹解锁,或者尽可能只用 PIN/密码/模式解锁,因为生物数据可以被克隆后反对你,例如解锁你的手机盗取你的数据。
