Re: What can't you do on Android WITHOUT a Google Account set up in the OS?

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.

There are only 3 known Google apps which infest Android with a login.
And each of those 3 Google apps has a privacy-aware replacement.
Bear in mind that *plenty* of Google apps have a login that does *not*
infest the Android device with an integral account, VanguardLH.
I realize your IQ is so low you can't comprehend that basic fact.
But Theo understood. Nobody else understood.
Just Theo. And, rest assured, for those 3 apps which do infect Android with a
system-wide Google Account, there are free privacy-aware equivalents.
That's what we've learned this week.
Not you. You can't learn anything.
But we learned that.
There is no Google functionality on Android that you can't get without a
Google Account integrally set up inside the Android operating system.
If there were, someone would have mentioned it by now.
