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. enter new DNS: dns2.digitalcourage.de (Settings - Network and Internet - Advanced - Private DNS).

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. 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'
