New Samsung phone deleting rubbish?

[proton]

Did not want another Chinese one and thought a Sammy would have less junk on it, not really it's full of stuff I don't want and things like icloud, synching, google and Samsung accounts I did not want to sign up for either. Can't seem to delete the apps I dont want ie spotify, nexflix and other junk, is there an easy way to get rid of things or if you cannot delete them hide them away? It's a cheap one, M32 but not bad for the money.

They can be hidden, many cannot be deleted.

there is no easy way to get rid of the bloatware.

some of the ways require enabling developer tools or getting a root access, and these actions will break the compatibility with the bank apps, because they all go bitchy when they see developer tools turned on.

I'm still trying to block google pop up ads when I open an app .....   I tried ad block, and another but nothing seems to block the google embeded games ad.  It runs for 5-10 seconds then I click the x to close and it returns to my required webpage. 

 

any ideas?

there is a software that removes Google ads by either removing Google libraries from an app, or by replacing URLs  from Google to non-existant ones, or by other different measures.

look for "lucky patcher" on 4pda.ru forum, you might need a google translator.

sorry but that's a Russian website which I will stay right away from.  But thanks anyway.

You could get stock Android phone though. Google Pixel or a Xiaomi A series, which come with absolutely nothing beyond Google's stock OS loaded.

 

If you're used to sleek user interfaces and lots of settings in camera app, etc... you might not be a fan.

lucky patcher is considered "warez" or "piracy" on non-russian websites so if you want to do some piracy yourself (such as - remove advertisements from apps) you will have to use the websites that condone piracy.
