How to Degoogle without customROM? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hi, I want to degoogle a Samsung Tablet I got. There is no LineageOS built out for this recent tablet, so I can only try to degoogle the stock ROM.

Any good guides to follow?

And further guides to remove the Samsung bloat? Thanks!

This is what I've done a couple of times now

But... I haven't had any feedback on whether this is effective from the perspective of getting rid of Google entirely

I will say that it makes the phone feel really light and fast, literally every app in the app drawer is one you put there yourself. My battery life is usually better too

The UAD should be pretty safe (and I think it's a bit conservative in what it recommends) but make sure you take care with the packages you remove yourself
