not me as I post from my Chromebook I bought today. I have 2 Gmail accounts. One for play and one for work related stuff and applying for jobs/credit cards.
I tried the whole don't use any Google anything and I found it to be a hassle more than anything. I embrace our data hoarding overlords and continue living life until the inevitable Skynet kills us all.

What kind of 4chan apps are on WP?
>>53581681
I do.No regrets either.
>>53582752
I have 4charm installed but I don't really use 4chan on my phone so I can't comment about whether it is shitty or not
>>53581681
I do. I miss real-time traffic on google maps sometimes, but, y'know, fuck your botnet shit.
Switched away from gmail altogether
>>53581692
>SimpleNote
How does that even come close to keep?
>>53581681
I do. Sometimes the missing gapps make the apps go full autistic mode and some apps don't even work but I can live with that.
i refuse to use google shit. its the least i can do to not support their illegal activities. there are always free and open alternatives to everything.

>there are always free and open alternatives to everything
>this is what freetards actually believe
>>53585189
you'd be surprised.
>>53585226
Surprise me.
>>53585253
here, have a whole list of alternatives to everyday things you probably regard as essential. This is slanted towards avoiding surveillance, there's a lot more if you count general-use applications too. https://prism-break.org/en/
>>53581681
I don't use Android on my phone. Does that count?
>>53585283
My fucking sides.
I already know about that website. It just furthermore proves you don't do jack shit with any of your devices except to watch your chinese cartoons. Holy shit.
>not using the pico gapps
>not using the micro gapps
>>53585326
that means that googles dataharvesting is still active on your phone, doesn't it?
>>53581681
The only one I actually use is maps, even though it's botnet as fuck I can't find a non-shit alternative. The maps on windows phone were pretty good but windows phone is kill.
>>53581681
me
purged everything including gservices, store, backup transport and frameworks
fuck google and ram wastage
no gapps for me

I could understand why some would not use them, however I find it just way too convenient to give up on.
>>53581681
I use mine without gapps. I never used them and I never link my phone with my real email. I don't feel that it's much of an inconvenience because I never really embraced the botnet; I don't know what I'm missing.
Cyanogenmod 13 w/o gapps. But i'm not without sin, i use Google for web search. The others just suck so much.

>K9
Holy shit thank you anon! That is fucking awesome!
Ha fuck that i need those
No google services framework. No google apps.
Phone battery sot went from 3 hrs sot to about 5hrs
Full battery would just die by end of day
Now it can last maybe double
It's functionally better to remove gapps.
BTW, libresignal has a nongoogle version on fdroid
I have an iPhone, so
I have a Chinese phone, so Baidu
I'd love to run gapps-less, but what about purchased apps from the market?
>>53586277
Get the apk, switch over to cm13, run the fake google services, and install the apks there

>having a mobile phone
Ahhh haaa haaa haaa haaa haaa
I don't have a fucking dumb phone. That is what retards and bitches have.
>>53586331
So how do you place calls?

What if you wind up atranded someplace how do you call for a ride?
>>53586381

So how the hell do you go grocery shopping?
>I don't use gapps, because m-muh privacy
>sent from windows phone
JUST
>>53586466
The grocery store, 10 minutes drive, is not what I would call stranded if I "wind up" stranded. I don't know what kind of trek you need to embark on to reach your local stores, but mine aren't 150miles down a dirt road that runs deep into an impassible Russian forest, although that would be what I consider a worthwhile trip.
This is the 21st century. You do not need a mobile phone. A mobile phone would have been great 50 years ago, but they are not necessary today. I am 22 and have never felt the need for one.

I didn't say that. A mobile phone isn't compulsory to survive. We all know this.

Android Seafile client is pretty bad, and sync sucks.
Do you use the official client or something else?
>>53581681
I do, fuck google botnet.
fdroid provides literally every app I need.
>>53586308
>fake Google services
That exists ?
>>53587505
yah, more info on that?
also, what about updates?
>>53581681
Me, no gapps on Windows Phone
>>53581681
I do. The reasons are purely practical, in fact I'm still using their maps app. Having like 5 minutes of wakelock'd time per DAY without using anything like greenify feels fucking good.
