CUSTOM ROMS ARE FINISHED AND BANKRUPT

CUSTOM ROMS ARE FINISHED AND BANKRUPT

Google is banning custom ROMs from the Play Store unless you whitelist them (up to 100 times then you're fucked).

Good, I've been meaning to get rid of gapps in favor of fdroid(+microg).

Why are you faggots using gapps instead of microg in the first place?

The only thing that is finished and bankrupt is gapps. Long live microg

kys poorfag

>gapps
who cares

Is microg a workaround?

>can install play store apps without google's botnet
What's the problem

This.
Been using microg for around 4 months now and I haven't looked back even once.

Yalp store will be the next target. Then you will be forced to download malicious apks from apk mirrors.

>installing gapps on custom ROM

You are degenerate.

How do I install microg on old android phone?
By old, I mean really old like 2011 samsung phone.

fuck

microG is still Google botnet it's just a libre implementation of it. I think you also have some more control over what data it sends. OpenGApps, by comparison, is just an installer that adds the binary blobs.

You don't need GApps at all to install apps; you can use Yalp Store or something like APKpure.

Most APK sites enforce signature verification so if it doesn't match the official then the APK will be rejected. I'm not saying there aren't sites with malicious intent distributing modified APKs but the well-known ones are legit.

Been without GApps for years, only complaint I have is that OSM isn't anywhere near as good as Google Maps so I usually have to get the location through the web version of Google Maps and then manually add it to OsmAnd~ for directions.

Easiest way is to install a ROM without GAPPS then flash microg through TWRP.

>microg
This.

give me a quick rundown. Can I still get beta play store apps and login to youtube?

Jewgle is finally putting the screws on freedom with smartphones

Time to purge all gapps

Use Newpipe instead of the shitty Youtube app. It lets you do background playing and recently got livestreams put in.

>ROMS
>ROM
If you can change it, it's not a ROM.

A more appropriate OP would be
Android "ROMs" are finally actually ROMs.

no thanks. Youtube + lucky patcher patch + youtube adaway is better

fine
guess I'll be using less gapps

I always thought that the data sent via microg was, for the most part, anonymous?

Have you installed UnifiedNlp and at least one backend?

I don't use GApps, so w/e. lol

Damn, I was thinking of getting an Android next and trading in my iPhone. Guess I’m still team Apple.

My device is uncertified but I can still download GApps, is this just for new android versions? On 5.1.1

Are any google apps worth using? I just use a web browser for Maps.

Sames Here. Google and OEM are killing Android devices, Pretend Google embrace/extend/extinguishing open source devices, and OEM killing the Android device

Android is dying.

Yet is still gaining marketshare over Apple.

Its not 100 times like you're thinking (100 flashes). It's 100 devices per user. Aka per Gmail account. This won't be an issue, unless you plan on having more than 100 phones/tablets in the foreseeable future. You register your device and that device will be able to install gapps even with custom roms. It's to prevent chink manufacturers from making spyware builds as they need a certification.

Have they mentioned if you can remove old, no longer active ids?
Otherwise that 100 will be easy to go through.

Google doesn't make money off their phones. They sell them at cheap prices, and put telemetry crap to make the money

Most of this shit was bearable because you had redeeming aspect with it's freedom, and open source possiblities. Nowadays....it getting worse.

What does gapps actually do other than play store? Are there any must have apps that are only on the play store?

>Nowadays
why is it always fags that are 20 or younger that say this?

>using play store apps
>using youtube

>using youtube

Vidme shut down back in December so there's currently no prospective competitor to YouTube anymore. Vimeo now seems to be geared towards the filmmaking/animation portfolio niche and Dailymotion is in zombie mode.

It's working so nice, that I even forgot that I have microg instead of gapps until I stumbled upon this thread.
Play store works, youtube woks, GPS works (I think even better than on gapps). Only thing that doesn't work is contacts and calendar sync, but there's already a workaround with DAV that requires 15 minutes of your time to get it working. By the way, you can compatibility chart on their github page.

>unless you whitelist them (up to 100 times then you're fucked).
So just remove old devices/ROMs when you hit 100 and you're fine.

*shrug*

at least we don't need a new phone every year like you iPoors do

you're missing the point here. Stop watching shilling videos on the internet. You don't find a replacement for youtube, you stop watching video.

Why are you not using aptitode? it has all the apps the play store has, has versioning so you can rollback software and is open source also doesn't require any google services

bitchute!

>>lagdroid faggots need custom roms to make their piece of shit phones run somewhat acceptable
my phone ran fine on the default ram, I just wanted more features and to stop being spied on, something iphone users can't do

>no content creators
useless a website could be perfect from a technological standpoint but if it has no users it's worthless, hopefully it'll gain more traction but right now it is worthless

year of the linux phone

but seriously, google play says my device is uncertified but i'm just using a rooted official rom. am i at risk of being locked out or am i fine?

>am i at risk of being locked out
yes but why do you need google services anyway?

because not everyone has your use case

I know, that's why I'm asking what your use case is

i prefer google maps, i use some proprietary apps from the play store that have no free alternatives. already tried yalp and it would be nice if it wasnt so buggy

alright ftr all apps on the play store are available from aptitode, but the maps thing is valid, my guess would be yes your play services will be deactivated so if I were you I'd apply the prepare for the worst hope for the best, look for a non google alternative to maps

Seems like I will finally end up on fdroid. I wonder if they have normie apps.

alright thanks, maybe i can register my device if it comes to that though. the only two things i can see that would trigger the "uncertified" status are that i have my phone rooted and i installed a RUU from htc's website to upgrade my phone. but since i know nothing about how google determines certified phones, i can only guess

>maybe i can register my device if it comes to that though
this would be my guess, stopping gapps on rooted phones would fuck their market share and force people onto alternatives, my guess is the entire thing is just to find out what users who root phones and install custom roms are doing, I mean google has tons of information but not many ways to filter it, if they could suddenly filter by rooted devices, devices with custom roms etc it would be valuable

just trying

>i use some proprietary apps from the play store that have no free alternatives
There is a free alternative to literally any proprietary app, because you can always just decide to do without whatever that app does.

I've had to make closed source software several times because a free alternative didn't exist, mostly scripts but still enough to disprove your point

This isn't about custom Roms it's about OEMs shipping chinked android and not supporting it after a couple months.

They need to be approved as compliant with the new android API hardware.

They need to have Treble for one.

Shit shit shit

Finally got rid of gapps last night, running clean lineage feels as refreshing as a cold beer on a hot day...

The shittyness raises exponential with the amount of transexuals and sjws that work at Google.

it crashes all the time and is maintained by certificate level educated pajeets

I was on MicroG with the Play Store for a while now I'm one week in to the no gapps life we comfy now bois

you still have play services, you're still being spied on

Do apps even run properly without play services?

I mean't I used to use MicroG. Now I have pure Lineage and no more MicroG

Most of the time yes, the only ones that haven't worked for me are ones that require a google login. Also Notifications can be a bit late but usually are okay if you disable battery optimiztion on the app and keep it running in the background

Who the fuck wants gapps anyway?

Soys

soys have iphones

>that require a google login
i've got Gmail, Gcal that could be replaced with a 3rd party app, but what about stuff like Gmaps and Gmusic?

Attached: .png (249x78, 5K)

Google maps can run without gapps
I think Play Music uses your devices google log in that needs gapps or MicroG to be setup, I just use NewPipe for streaming music

Wannabe hackerman soys

illegal hacker detected, initiating legal drone strike

>he uses gapps
You deserve this

Good luck finding me, I deleted my Facebook after hearing about all the data they gave away on me
Anyway who needs it Instagrams far better

The only thing thats keeping me from removing gapps is Snapchat. It cannot run without gapps. Fucking jews

>Snapchat
Don't bother your clearly too cucked

because im not an autist and use my phone for what it was made for calls, messages and porn

>Thinking MicroG is safe

None of this requires gapps

Thanks Google for giving me more insentive to use microG. I've been putting it off far too long.

Using map.me for maps, ironically protonmail markets itself as a privacy app gets an error without play services. No other issues apart from that.

I haven't been using gapps since 2015. Seems like I didn't miss anything.

99% of them do, at most you get a notification that app requires gapps but you can just ignore it or remove it with lucky patcher/xposed.

>muh open sores

my sides that's what you get for supporting android, they can do whatever they want like banning access to play store soon, or worse. They gonna turn android like apple iOS soon.

but they viable options are android and IOS, out of the two android is better

This doesn't even matter, even if you wanted Gapps on your rom you can still get them. Plus it's just another reason to get rid of google botnet anyway.

microg barely works and is in like 0.01 alpha

trust me I've tried it and there's no avoiding the gapps boogeyman (yet)

maybe in a year or two when microg reaches parity with all gapps features

>Actually using gapps

>doesn't know custom ROMs doesn't even have the play store by default you have to flash it yourself
>only retards would install a shitware that uses 40% of your battery and spies on you 24/7
>you can get anything you want for free on apkmirror and the apps in pic related
Literally kill yourself
