You know a technology is great when the people who make it have to ram it down your throat

I wish they would invent a smart phone/cell phone that comes COMPLETELY empty except for the phone part and text message part and the camera, and if you want Google or Facebook or any other app then you have to physically add it yourself. (OK, I guess the "add app" thingie in your settings could be a thing.)

And I wish there was a separate app shop from Google Play Store.

Basically what I am saying is I wish phones came utterly and completely Google-free.

@CosmickTrigger @jalefkowit AOSP is what you are looking for. Very minimal in its base install
