I am interested in installing a de-googled android on my phone, but I would like to try it out a little bit first. Is there some way to emulate a phone on my PC, or is there anything like dual booting on phones?
This really is the 1 thing stopping me from switching over now. I got a google pixel only a few months ago and don’t want to have to completely reinstall everything AGAIN already. I wouldn’t mind if I had 2 phones so always have a working one, but having to change everything on my 1 phone right now just feels too risky.
Do it now rather than waiting even longer and amassing even more personal data on device
Any data that’s on it is in a private cloud (infomaniak/filen) so that’s not the issue.
Its reinstalling everything, setting it all up, personalising it, etc.
I use this thing a lot and need it for work, so not being able to have a backup that I can use in case it takes longer than expected is a no-go for me.
Just got a OEM unlocked P7P, installed GrapheneOS, I was up and running good as new in like a day. Only downside so far is no Tap payments.
It’s easier than you think.
