<p>You <a href="../quit-google/">can quit google</a> without it affecting you in any way. And you should quit Google.</p>

<p>But since you probably have an Android phone (without an official <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/Firefox_OS">Firefox OS</a> port) you are surrounded on all sides by Google. But since Google took help from everyone in making Android a success by making it &quot;open source&quot;, we have CyanogenMod, Android Open Source Project (AOSP), etc coming to our rescue.</p>

<p>Here is how you get rid of Google from your phone.</p>

<h2 id="easy-way-which-does-not-work">Easy way - which does not work</h2>

<li>Trust Google that it won&#39;t send your data via backdoors.</li>

<li>Disable Google search, Gmail, Google Now Launcher, Google+, Google Hangouts, Youtube, Google Play Store, Google Play Music, Sync on all google accounts, everything with G on it via Settings -&gt; Apps -&gt; all apps -&gt; app name -&gt; disable (because uninstall is disabled)</li>

<h2 id="slightly-hard-way-easily-reversible-incomplete">Slightly hard way - easily reversible - incomplete</h2>

<li><p>Root your phone<br>You most definitely have to find a way to root your phone by yourself. There is no one-click method for all the models. Just go to <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/">forum.xda-developers.com</a> and search your phone model and find the root method. They usually have really detailed tutorials.</p>

<li><p><a href="../f-droid/">Install F-droid</a></p>

<li><p>Install AFWall+ in whitelist mode and allow only your nice apps to communicate with internet.</p>

<h2 id="harder-way-retains-android-more-complete">Harder way - retains android - more complete</h2>

<li>Flash <a href="http://cyanogenmod.org/">CyanogenMod</a>. xda is where you go again.</li>

<li>Do not flash gapps (Most xda tutorials will end with a step &quot;flash gapps for google apps&quot;). Our purpose of installing CyanogenMod was to get rid of Google apps. So it makes no natural sense to flash the same.</li>

<li>Install <a href="../f-droid">f-droid</a> and alternate apps like:<ul>

<li>Firefox</li>

<li>Telegram</li>

<li>Osmand~</li>

<li>AFWall+</li>

<li>K-9 Mail</li>

<h2 id="even-hard">Even hard</h2>

<p>Find a FirefoxOS build for your device or port one. Flash that.</p>
