How can I minimize Moto "features" as much as possible?

​

Hi,

I’ve had a Moto G85 5G for a year now, and I can’t stand it! But my old Oppo A53s (Android 12) is giving up the ghost, so I HAVE to switch now.

It’s not always clear whether the issues are due to the Android update from 12 to 15 or the Moto software.

1. How can I disable the Motorola software as much as possible without rooting the phone?

2. How can I turn off the annoying floodlight effect at startup and significantly reduce the brightness without it constantly becoming too bright again ? I want a smartphone, not a flashlight!

3. I rely on a continuous (regardless of app or browser) scroll screenshot function. The one from Moto only occasionally offers the scroll screenshot option.

4. Does it make sense to first reset Google Android, tame it for as much privacy as possible, and then reinstall everything from scratch?

thank you!
