De-Googling Your Phone -Bring your own phone

Turn the phone you already own into a private-by-default device.
The OccuNX De-Googling Phone Service (BYOD) takes a compatible Google Pixel you bring us and rebuilds it from the ground up: stock Android and preloaded Google bloat are wiped, a hardened privacy-focused OS(operating system) is installed, and core settings are tuned so your phone stops working as a 24/7 tracking beacon.

What we do

• 🔧 Full wipe and clean install

  • Erase the stock Android image and previous owner data

  • Install a hardened, privacy-focused Android-based OS(operating system)

  • Apply current security updates

• 🛡️ Lock down core privacy and security

  • Enable device encryption and a strong screen lock

  • Tighten app permissions so nothing gets “everything, all the time” access

  • Turn off the worst telemetry and tracking options where possible

• 📲 Curated privacy app setup

  • Privacy-first browser and search

  • Encrypted messaging options

  • Optional VPN(virtual private network)/DNS(domain name system) tools

  • No adware, no junk preloads

• 📘 OccuNX De-Googled Phone Quickstart Guide (PDF)

  • How to install apps safely without crawling back to full Google

  • Backup options that don’t hand everything to Big Tech

  • Simple “do this / avoid this” habits for staying private

How the service works

1. Check compatibility

   • You confirm your Pixel model is supported and in good working order (screen, ports, battery).

2. Backup anything you want to keep

   • This process erases the phone completely. You’ll back up photos, messages, and anything else you care about before we start.

3. Drop-off / ship your phone

   • You send or drop off your device; we verify condition and confirm the plan.

4. We de-Google your phone

   • Wipe, install, harden, and set up the agreed set of privacy tools.

5. Handoff + walkthrough

   • We return your phone and do a short walkthrough so you know how to use your new private-by-default setup and where to find our Quickstart guide.

Important notes

• This service is for BYOD(Bring Your Own Device)—you are providing the phone. If you want us to source the Pixel and de-Google it, that’s a separate De-Googled Phone (hardware included) product.

• Some apps that depend heavily on Google Play Services may not work or may require extra steps. We’ll flag the common ones and suggest alternatives where possible.

• This doesn’t make you “invisible,” but it dramatically reduces everyday tracking and data harvesting and gives you a phone that isn’t working against you by default.

Bottom line: you keep your hardware, lose a big chunk of the surveillance baggage, and get a phone tuned to serve you, not an ad network.
