Hello

I’m being pushed into the market by google/android to acquire a new phone due to it slowing down. I’m sick of this marketing tactic and the clutter of preinstalled apps and junk software.

What phone and operating system could I get that could allow me to use for a long period of time and out of reach from subversive tactics from giant corporations?

I’m basically a farmer and so know nothing about coding and not too technologically oriented but would really like to break away from the capitalist/hyperconsumerist phone craze. Thank you.

    No need for custom ROM, no need for special phone, my guide works on any non rooted Android and is well known in the community.

    Do not fall for this insane tech privacy obsession scheme and all the favourite phone brands and models. Pick a nice phone model, avoid Samsung if possible. Do the guide steps and you are good to go.

    A $200-300 phone every 4 years, with a $20-50 official battery replacement every 2 years is a very cheap way of getting things done. The phone will cost you basically $7/month and should be a nice escape from this capitalistic hyper consumerism model people are sold.
