Remove Google-dependencies

As Android / LineageOS is a google software, there are some sintinels deeply baked in the system. We will remove them.

1. DNS

Not every servername should be resolved by google:

  1. Navigate to Settings - Network and Internet - Advanced - Private DNS
  2. Enter new DNS: dns3.digitalcourage.de

2. Location Tracking

Nobody should track your location:

  1. Check Privacy Settings and GPS (especially browser-settings from Fennec).

3. Google print service

Did you ever use the google print-service? If not, let's switch it off:

  1. Switch off Print Service (Settings - Connected devices - Connection preferences - Printing).

4. Phone number lookup

LineageOS looks online for the entered number, but that is not their business.

  1. Switch of the forward lookup, the people lookup and the reverse lookup (Telephone-App - three points in the search field - Settings - phone number lookup).

5. Google captive Portal

The question whether you are connected to the internet should not be googles decission:

  1. Replace Google captive portal check with Kuketz. Therefore, connect your Fairphone with your computer and execute following adb commands: 
    adb shell 'settings put global captive_portal_http_url "http://captiveportal.kuketz.de"'
adb shell 'settings put global captive_portal_https_url "https://captiveportal.kuketz.de"'
adb shell 'settings put global captive_portal_fallback_url "http://captiveportal.kuketz.de"'
adb shell 'settings put global captive_portal_other_fallback_urls "http://captiveportal.kuketz.de"'

In order to test the settings, if they were correctly adopted, you can type in: adb shell 'settings get global captive_portal_https_url'
