I don't see any ads on a non-rooted Samsung.
If you're seeing ads, its because you're using apps that deliver ads.
Google services still work on Graphene, Lineage and DivestOS. With Graphene they run in a sandbox, with DivestOS they run in a user context.
I've done all of them. My google stuff works fine.
Or the phone's been infected with adware.
Wow, that's interesting, I've actually been avoiding Samsung, because I'd heard there were sooo many ads even on top models.
I can see you have a decent amount of upvotes, so I guess that means it's probably true.
But does no ads include not nagging about Samsung services? AFAIK Samsung has many Google equivalent services they advertise.
