Same.

ES and QuickPic tipped me over the edge into just uninstalling everything and using my phone as a phone. Two very good programs that gradually became malware, pushing cloud options onto me, pushing arbitrary notifications when I installed other apps, etcetera.

I now have a very basic CM install with a few OSS F-Droid applications. The phone is used predominantly as a phone and for anything else I go and use a computer with a much better ecosystem.
