Hi, I want to degoogle a Samsung Tablet I got. There is no LineageOS built out for this recent tablet, so I can only try to degoogle the stock ROM.
Any good guides to follow?
And further guides to remove the Samsung bloat? Thanks!

The first thing you need is root access. Then you can uninstall all google apps (including system apps).
rooting is not necessary to uninstall Gapps, adb is enough
Now, I know. Does that work with older android versions too? I had trouble using adb to uninstall/disable system apps on a samsung phone running android 9. That’s why I recommended rooting.
yeah, mine is 9 and i successfully degoogled it using just adb.
With adb they are just removed from your profile (user 1) and they will come back if you reset your phone.
that’s not my experience. i haven’t rooted my phone and i just used adb. what’s more, first time i did it, i went overboard and the phone didn’t even reboot.
reset, not reboot :)
oh okay, sorry.
