How to turn off Gemini on Android — and why you should
-
easy, install graphene instead
Ah yes, for the whole 5% of people that have a Pixel
-
So are we just casually mentioning Graphene in every Android article like Linux is mentioned in every Windows article? How many new phones actually support Graphene?
The circlejerk around Graphene is insane, it wouldn't be as bad if it wasn't literally only supported by Pixel phones that have 2% marketshare
-
Alternatively:
- Install GrapheneOS
- Never concern yourself with invasive software again
I've never even seen Gemini on my phone.
Do I:
- Run a few commands to disable one app and keep my phone intact
OR
- Install a whole new OS to avoid one dumb AI app, and the OS only works with Pixel phones (which isn't even my phone as I actively avoid touching anything Google in the first place)...
A tricky decision, indeed.

If it were about one app, and you could do that, I would be inclined to agree. But it's not and you can't. It's about new bullshit constantly being shoved down your throat.

no problems, just solutions

nobody has to use an operating system made by an advertisement company.
My device's bootloader can be unlocked in 5 minutes, yet it's not on any of these lists you shared
Uhhh interesting, what kind of device is that ? Is it really new ? Maybe that's why there is no community support for it. Because nobody has started hacking on it yet

To be fair, the article itself recommends it.

Fair enough. Unfortunately, that only covers around 5% of Android users in the US.
