I am interested in installing a de-googled android on my phone, but I would like to try it out a little bit first. Is there some way to emulate a phone on my PC, or is there anything like dual booting on phones?

    This really is the 1 thing stopping me from switching over now. I got a google pixel only a few months ago and don’t want to have to completely reinstall everything AGAIN already. I wouldn’t mind if I had 2 phones so always have a working one, but having to change everything on my 1 phone right now just feels too risky.

      Do it now rather than waiting even longer and amassing even more personal data on device

          Okay. But again, for context. Why? Buy an iPhone or something lol. Google owns android, and any open source software would run like ass

            Android is already open source. And third-party firmware runs just fine.
