I have a samsung A22 which is not supported by any of the foss roms i would like to try, so i started to debloat my phone and logout from google, removing as much propietary software as i can from my phone and replacing by foss alternatives. The only thintg i didnt manage to do is removing google services as i live in a country where foss options of maps apps doesnt work very well unfortunately so I have to stick with google maps. I tried Gmaps WV but it still needs google play services to work. I also added the micro G repository but I cant see the option to install it, is it possible?

    Its a shame i didnt manage to find a single rom with support for my samsung a22 device. I wanted to use /e/Os or graphene, but none of them support my model :/

      Maybe you can use your existing phone for google stuff only, and get another cheap phone for doing anything else, or try doing as many things as possible on a computer.

      Also rooting is dangerous (it opens door for exploits and hacking) and things may go wrong (as I also used to f**k things .)
