Hello everyone,

I am looking to degoogle my android phone (moto G stylus 2022 5G) but the issue is that there is no custom roms for android 13, however i can root the device and unlock the bootloader. I know in the past doing what im about to ask can break the phone, but has anyone ever had success degoolging their stock ROM with a rooted device?

I've had some luck in the past with simply disabling all the Google stuff via root.

Sometimes this caused bootloops (10 years ago). More recently it caused a recurring error message. Sometimes it worked just fine.

Re-enabling Google services and rebooting typically resolved the issues.
