Looking for solutions to delete/opt out as much as i can from GAFAMs and other chinese closed-sources stuff … im a noob and i feel lost right now … would this be a good idea? https://gitlab.com/W1nst0n/universal-android-debloater/

Or should i think about Lineage OS or similar ?

    one gave it to me cause the screen is broken on top , but its working normally , so selling it will not be that easy. but thx ;) i agree best solution here is just to change the hardware.

      Then it’s a tough situation. Either you can repair the screen yourself, but that may cost a little money/time, or you could just consider this entire device to be compromised and use it as a dumb phone, or use it as a computing platform completely disconnected from your personal identifiers (only run on mobile data, never wifi, and don’t use phone/calls).

      I didn’t mean to sound condescending in my previous message, i’ve also been stuck in the past with shady/broken hardware and “buying new hardware” is not always possible because of $$$$, and in any case is not a good solution in terms of pollution. Wish you the best :)

        thx :) yeah shitty situation , that’s happening so many times …im not planing to repair , because a broken screen is not harmless to me but the whole thing scares me because of xiaomi and android reputation … but a dumb phone is always good to have :) when $$ will come in i’ll think about buyin the right hardware to take care of my digital life , and before this 'ill get a shitty nonsmartphone and maybe see where i can get with LOS , some said this could work well if i take my time doin it right :)
