I don’t have a Gemini app on my phone. The only way to somewhat disable it is through the settings app.
Comment on How to turn off Gemini on Android — and why you should
squaresinger@lemmy.world 1 month ago- Install adb on your PC
- Enable developer options on your phone
- Enable USB Debugging inside the developer options
- Connect the phone to the PC using USB
- Open a console window of your choice
- Execute
adb devicesand allow USB debugging for this PC on your phone - Execute
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.apps.gemini - Done
You can do that with any app you like, they can all be disabled that way. Beware though: if you disable critical system components (like e.g. your last launcher, keyboard or systemui) you might not have a great time using your phone afterwards.

So are we just casually mentioning Graphene in every Android article like Linux is mentioned in every Windows article? How many new phones actually support Graphene?
Redex68@lemmy.world 1 month ago
The circlejerk around Graphene is insane, it wouldn’t be as bad if it wasn’t literally only supported by Pixel phones that have 2% marketshare

isnt it only for pixels.
XLE@piefed.social 5 weeks ago
To be fair, the article itself recommends it.
kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks ago
Fair enough. Unfortunately, that only covers around 5% of Android users in the US.
Ulrich@feddit.org 1 month ago
Pretty much. For all the same reasons. Both of them solve all sorts of problems.

None of my wory app nor my banks app are compatible with Graphene. We need legislation at this point.

I’m aware, thank you.
squaresinger@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Yeah. If you never install software that is.
A C64 doesn’t run invasive software either.
Ulrich@feddit.org 1 month ago
Yes. A GrapheneOS device and a Commodore 64 are basically the same thing.
squaresinger@lemmy.world 1 month ago
GrapheneOS without any invasive apps is really bare-bones and limited, that’s what I wanted to say using hyperbole, but I guess figures of speech are too advanced for some people.

Do I:
OR
A tricky decision, indeed.

If it were about one app, and you could do that, I would be inclined to agree. But it’s not and you can’t. It’s about new bullshit constantly being shoved down your throat.
