Anyone have tips on jail breaking a carrier locked Samsung s20 to lobotomize all the spyware?

    Easiest is probably with a DNS firewall to block all Samsung traffic. I recommend NextDNS.

    Next level would be using ADB to uninstall tipycally uninstallable-apps.

    Final level would be replacing your stock Android with something like LineageOS or eOS. I have no experience with either of those, other than installing eOS to a friend, but I use GrapheneOS and it's such a joy, I can't imagine using any other Android ever.

    My previous cellphone was a Samsung with stock Android and the difference with GrapheneOS is insane. I'm talking going Windows-to-Linux-levels of using software that isn't constantly spitting on your face kind of insane.

    I'm actually a graphene user as well ๐Ÿ™Œ

    I love it.

    The s20 is still a good little phone with great battery life. I'd like to turn it into a fun lineageos device for gaming or to use for Bluetooth or something.
