"putting android on it" is a lot harder than you think. If all you mean is to flash a rom on it, then no as that makes no sense.

"Wants a phone that gives the user full control over the phone, down the the filesystem and hardware."

 

"Immediately wants to put android on it."

I have one, just want to know if I can do that so I don't have all the apps I don't want pre-installed on my phone.

Can't really dodge the google stuff. If it's vendor specific crap then just get a Pixel or one of the other 'droids that run basically stock Android. 

 

If you don't want the google stuff, just get an iPhone, delete the couple utilities they include (you can even delete the calculator app now, basically anything short of settings/camera app is delete-able), and call it a day.

Wouldn't it be easier to buy a phone that is supported by the community with custom ROMs? The first thing I do with every phone I've bought for a very long time is wipe out the factory OS and install my own.  

 

If you install something like Lineage you won't have any extra apps. If you want to install Gapps, you can choose what to install.  

 

Just make sure you choose the right device, not just any device will do.

You can delete all the pre-installed stuff, and if you can't, you can just root or whatever it's called for android and delete it. 

 

Getting an entire new phone and installing a custom OS on it seems a bit...extreme for just "wanting to delete a few apps." 

 

Just put them in a folder on the 8th home screen page and forget about them like the rest of us.
