>still has Google Play Services installed
>he doesn't know that Google Play Services is a system-level app that reads everything that has a notification, so when you get that "secret message" from your buddy on Signal, Google Play Services can read and collect the notification you got and access keywords, names, and other data.
Why haven't you uninstalled the Google-created rootkit spyware that is Google Play Services, /g/?
Don't you know that Google Play Service has access to everything on your phone and can read whatever shows up in your notifications?
Why do you try to "avoid the botnet" when you still run a system-level Google rootkit on your phone? Because you need to watch those funny Youtube videos?
I like trying out apps, even if I will delete them within an hour and never look back.
But I have, like a year ago.
Because I'm not a terrorist and I have nothing to hide.
But I use microG, and the only proprietary application with access to everything is the Play Store?
I can still fucking use Youtube and the various chat applications..
Also, you're heavily overestimating what Play Services can do.
microG

If you have nothing to hide please give me your bank account details. >>55504806
Does microG work if I freeze play service?
My play store has stopped working.Right now I'm using apkpure to sideload apps.
I get this "unfortunately play store has stopped working" pop-up while using my phone. It randomly reboots after ten minutes/screen timeout/screen gets locked. Most of my apps have stopped working.sdmaid, play store, clover, nova launcher prime, swiftkey to name a few.
How do I troubleshoot this? Is it worth the hassle or should I freeze all Google apps?
Will my paid apps work if I go with microG?
I'm rooted and running android 4.4 if it matters.

>memeing this hard
>>55504531
What the hell is sideloading? How is it different from downloading something off of your lan?
>>55505278
wat
GPS is not that powerful
Had a phone without Google Play Services, used FDroid, APKMirror and such. But how the hell can I receive notifications?

are you being serious?

>Implying google can't track you even with gapps removed.
>>55505045
Paid apps that require license recognition won't work. One time recognition apps will.
On a Nexus 5 without Play Services since 2014. Haven't looked back since.
Replicant.
>>55505045
Why would I go out of my way to give you my bank account details? There is a high probably of you using it to buy a bunch of dragon dildos. This risk isn't there with a large public company who is actually held accountable for their actions.
>>55504531
Or you could just stop using a mobile OS developed by an ADVERTISING COMPANY
Google Play Services is just a bunch of formerly core android capabilities that have been built out into an app/library so that users don't need to rely on OEM OS updates to get new versions of some services, and developers can target those services easier.
Google can track everything you do on your phone regardless of what you have installed.

>Why haven't you uninstalled the Google-created rootkit spyware that is Google Play Services, /g/?
Because it breaks lots of apps. Broken contacts sync, no calls in signal, no skype, no banks clients, no play store (eg no app updates).
If you dont want google botnet, just block it with firewall.
>>55507077
We would but nothing else works just as well.
I use open source software because it's generally better and because I'm not made of money. Thinking you can own any type of internet connected device and not be vulnerable to prying eyes is just stupid.
I use opengapps pico

lololololol
>>55508805
That's still Google Play Services, retard.
>>55508022
>Not using the best phone
iPhone
Because it's a fucking phone
Whu would Google care about 1000 sms that are 40% spam and 60% "on my way" type. Even before we had smartphones for illegal o private conversations we meet irl
You fags need to go outside more often
>another g/tard falling for the botnet meme.
Make sure that tinfoil hat isn't too tight, anon.
Btw my phone is full of loli porn and I sync everything to Google photos for more than a year. Bite me.
>>55504531
Because I can't root my phone. (s5 active)
>>55506293
Notifications from what?
>>55507024
They can and they do. If a single person using a GAPPs Android is on your network, they've exposed you. Agent spoofing may prevent this, I think.
>>55509997
You fag should know Android OS listens.
>>55510073
So do you have Play services installed for some reason?
>>55510910
Yes, Google apps use it, including the Play store.
>>55510073
>FM Radio
How?
>>55511476
Not him, but it's probably Cyanogenmod and your phone has to support fm radio
>>55511655
Checked.
I never really used the FM radio when I had a HTC M7, I was just curious as to how he had it on a stock-looking ROM.
>>55511990
Is not stock, is AOSP with all the available Google apps. I disabled the AOSP versions, the radio FM remains, of course.
