Currently implementing Orbot on my android phone (lineageOS, not currently rooted). Besides booting a custom ROM onto my phone without implementing Google Play Services, what can I do to make my phone as "off the grid" as possible? Any apps that I need to know about? Any practices I should be implementing?

I plan on reinstalling lineageOS and opt out of Play Services, but I'm having a hard time biting that bullet. I've already left social media, but my big thing is Youtube Music, which I use when I work out. Gotta have my music, and I don't want to torrent. I know of MicroG, and I'm debating whether I want to take that route.

What are you trying to do? Arbitarily applying ad hoc security measures is a recipe for disastre. Off of whose grid ? A cell phone, even a dumb phone will transmit identifying information and location to a celluer provider. meta data about calls and sms through your sim are shared with celluer provider. If you are trying to avoid sharing your location then carrying a cell phone is out of the question. If you want to anonymize your cell consider prepaid service, but metadata and location are likely to give you away anyway. Using google free services and foss can help protect your privacy from (((analytics))), but will not protect you from the architecture of the cell network and the 3rd party doctrine. Michael from the OSINT Privacy and Security show likes disposible mint mobile sims, and a voip provider 'mysudo' for protecting his privacy from cell provider, breaches, and sim swap attacks. Who and what are you protecting your self from?

Thank you for giving me more information so I could more easily clarify.

I'm most concerned about "analytics", not so much my location. The idea that big corps (Google, specifically) are making money off my search history. I don't think Google needs to know my a/s/l. That's what I guess I'd like to truly hide myself from: Google. I feel like avoiding the architecture of a cell-network is largely unavoidable (I need a cellphone).

I hope that made sense and I was able to more fully answer your question. I understand my OP was vague.

Fennec for andriod supports addons like a desktop. Take usual web privacy measures: either spoof common config (Win 7, FF , resolution x etc) or block js, cookies, filter hosts. VPN to mitigate IP based geoprofiling. Use Multiple profiles to isolate personas. Consider "shelter" to assist compartmentalizing. Dont use closed source apps. Use xprivacy or other framework to control privledges on apps.
