i found an app called shizuwall which seems to be basically the same thing as netguard but instead of using a vpn connection it uses shizuku, and it seems to work pretty well

WHAT NO WAY

(also thank YOU for actually helping me compared to some OTHER people heheh (reddit) eheheheh)

edit: the one in the discover store doesn’t seem to work im actually gonna activate

aahhh makes sense thanks

ah alright I guess it’s not a BIG deal lowkey

can they really do anything with that even if they don’t have like sms permissions or whatever?

yea sadly I want to use a vpn so I can’t use netguard

oh damn, that could happen right after I download the app grr

my phone’s not rooted so I guess i’m fine

ah okay

eh I scratched it, it was just kinda annoying so I’ll just watch my discs on my consoles instead

just something that tracks the least

oh wait you need that? mmm…

I mainly just want something where the company that makes the box doesn’t collect all of my data, I’m not crazy about privacy like that

ill maybe check it out thanks, although I’m probably not gonna install lineage

forgot to mention but is it easy enough to install a third party youtube app with built-in adblocking, kinda like smart tube? I literally can’t watch youtube without adblock (sponsorblock is a nice bonus too)

felt like roku was pretty bad anyway but thanks for the info pooks

not for me sorry shawty

yea kind of??? I honestly don’t know what it is, I’m actually on the fence about it 😭

thanks to everyone who replied!!! I’ll keep using degoog 'cause something about is just nice I can’t put my finger on it

yea foss apps are lowkey the best but this was just so fun, and i also have no idea how to read any code at all
