Everything what does not need a Google account. That was easy.

 
You have no idea how Android works if you say something that absurd.
 
Only Theo, so far, understood that an account on the Internet is not at all
the same thing as an account integrally set up deeply in Android settings.

Nobody else who posted but Theo knows anything about Android.
Not Arno. Not Frank. Not Rudy. Not Carlos. Not Mayayana. None of you.
 
There's a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE difference between these two things:
a. An account on the Internet
b. An account on the phone
 
Only Theo understood the question. Nobody else did.

Reset the phone, and next time when an app wants a login then refuse to
prevent having the account stored on the phone.  If you're just
protesting Google, don't login to any newly loaded app that wants you to
specify a Google account, so it doesn't get stored on your phone.  After
a reset, there are no accounts stored on the phone.  It is after *you*
specify a login that either the app will store it locally to itself, or
load it into Accounts in the Android OS.

Patient: It hurts when I do this.
Doctor: Don't do that.
