so i have old android phone , too old for updates and what not. I had it connected to my wifi to monitor camera in my barn. so I wanted to wipe it clean , put an sd card in it with all my music (audio) , install vlc player for android and give it to my friend so he can just press play and once connected to his stereo thru the earphone jack he can play the songs. but I can't figure out how to do anything to do anything because it wants me to sign into google. This phone was cheapest on amazon (say 7 years ago) and that was about the time they said these phones were sending info to china or some bullshit, but I've tried for 5 hours now to get vlc media player without signing into google because i don't want any of my info on the phone, so i could sign in , get vlc but then wipe my info off but that wipes off the vlc I've downloaded. Next step is a smash the shit out of this thing because after 5 hours I'm done. whole deal is the guy uses cassette tapes and wants them to play continuously. I have ordered some sort of mp3 player thing i think will work, i have used one for about 3 years to play my mp3 audio and it's perfect but I have to see it on tv to make various selections , he's out in his barn with no tv so i need something where the controls and what they do can be seen. My cell phone knowledge is basicly I can make a phone call but other than that nothing, i don't think I could even answer if it rang as I never use it. computers, pretty good, smart phones totally lost so I'm giving up for now. I have a player I made that works good but it won't shuffle play and it starts at the beginning if it is shut down so the 50 hours of songs starts from the beginning, so only the first 6 hours (or whatever) are all listener ever hears.

Just create a new Google account for your friend and sign in using the new details

that would probably work as he's got a cell phone and I've seen him use it and take pictures and show me pictures so he's ahead of me on cell phone use. I ended up buying a player for $30 from the same outfit of my current player . With my phone i realized I'll need a micro sd card for it as I have about 4.5 gig's of stuff and the phone itself only has 1 gig or 2 gigs to start with and most of that is already taken up by operating system and battery life is extremely short. so I'll try this player thing for a while and then see if he wants it. he still uses cassettes and videotapes. After I get my cassette decks "up to par" I'll probably start in on some of his. Usually they just need belts , heads cleaned real good, just simple stuff is what I can handle. He's probably got 8 or 10 decks not working. I gave him my old deck originally but the belts started slipping right away so I've got new belts coming and hopefully that fixes it. Thanks.

Do a Factory reset on the phone. Then you will have basic programs to add what you like later.. If and when it ask you to sign in with a Google account you can say 'later' or "skip' during reboot. Once the phone is start go into 'setting-apps' and disable or delete any thing with the name Google attached to it.
