Hi, I had been recommended to ask this list for advice. but perhaps i didn't explain it properly.
I have android phone (flashed not rooted, samsung mega) and an android tablet (rca)
I would like to know IF anyone is familiar with rooting these so i can get google out of my phones,
Rooting Android devices generally means finding someone who's found an exploit that bypasses security on your specific phone/tablet model. Sometimes just knowing the model isn't enough, e.g. root exploits for the Galaxy S4 may or may not work depending on what carrier your phone was designed for (even if it's unlocked). Assuming there is a root exploit for your phone and tablet, you will probably have to download an app from some dodgy download site and run it, hoping it's what it claims to be and that it works on your model, android version and carrier. It's sad this is so difficult. If the goal is to get Google out of your phones, you could run an open source OS, such as Cyanogen Mod (open-source Android) or the Ubuntu or Firefox phone OSes. But again, your phone model has to be one that's well supported: it takes a lot of resources to reverse-engineer drivers for all the hardware modern phones have, and open source projects typically can only support a few of the most popular models. The best way to have a non-Google non-Apple phone is probably to choose the OS you want to run, research which phones it supports best, then buy that model. ...Akkana
