Help me out, Fedi:

I have a brand new Galaxy A15 5G. I want to start using it, but there's one small issue, which is that it's a smartphone in 2026.

Ideally, I'd put a custom ROM on it. Last I checked, though, that's not currently an option for this particular model (SM-A156U1/DS).

What I'm looking for is recommendations for the best way to de-Google it/make it less of a privacy nightmare/etc. If I'm wrong about the ROM thing, that'd be good to know, too.

Boosts welcome!

@aearo it's a little tedious to check every app so you can de google it without deleting an important program, but you can install Universal Android Debloater in any computer, plug your phone and start getting rid of all the seemingly uninstallable apps

Just make sure to follow a tutorial. That will make the process quite easy
