Annoying as fuck but at least still possible to use F-Droid after the one-time, day-long “setup.”

only if you open it up permanently, totally negating any kind of attempt at an improvement over safety



LineageOS, GrapheneOs, or PostmarketOS.

As long as it doesn’t have Google Shit Services on it, you’re fine.

Also most Chinese android devices don’t have gplay services installed on them by default anymore, although it is possible to install it afterwards.



I love having shizuku, and canta, because when the day comes, I just have to connect shizuku and using canta I can delete google play services and just start using microG

You can only uninstall those apps from the current user or all users, you can’t delete Google’s pre-placed apks in your system, which you will need in order to install microG



Can we install a stub package called com.google.android.verifier so the silent installation of malware will fail? It’s technically feasible?

@Moonrise2473
Probably, probably not. Something similar to microG may surely be possible.
Future may see something different like this: security.googleblog.com/?utm_s
