Help Best ROM or way to remove Google tracking

[trymeout]

I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 (SM-T830) and I want to increase its privacy.

I would prefer to install LineagoOS on it but I cannot find a ROM that is compatible with my device. I would consider another ROM that is compatible with the device as long that is does not install or require GAPPs.

What can one do to remove Google apps and spyware from a Tab S4 and make the device a "privacy friendly device?"

There is no custom rom for this device that I know of. As for removing google apps and services from the stock rom is not easy as things start to crash and even bootloop.

Here's some links of interest for your device...

Have a look here, might be an appropriate custom ROM you could use.

I have looked on the XDA developers forums and all I can find is this WETA rom whoch includes GAPPs.

If I was to reset my Galaxy Tab S4 and no log into ,y Gmail/Google Account and use F-Droid would that help? GAPPs will still be installed though.
