  1. Would anyone know how to install Android apps in a way that they can't detect that it's an ungoogled smartphone?

    Specifically, I am using LineageOS with microg, and installing apps from AuroraStore. It works in most of the cases, but some particular apps complain about a lack of security features and refuse to run.

  11. Stats turn out better each time I upgrade my phone: Installed 50 apps through F-Droid, and 22 apps through Aurora this time. Almost 75 percent of my apps is now open source.

    It's sad though that only two apps on my phone support UnifiedPush at this stage: Fedilab and Element X. But everything appears to run fine now using MicroG. The only app that has been given me difficulties is N26, which refuses to pair (probably due to MicroG).

  16. I've just published the first v1.0.0 release candidate for Passchain (formerly HW Fido2 Provider)!

    This is a big step from something that kind of work enough to be able to use security keys without the Play Services [1][2] to a more stable app.

    Among other things, it benefit from the recent improvement made for the feature on microG (it uses its lib): for example we now have cross-device login => you can theoretically login on your TV with your Yubikey now 😃

    [1] or microG
    [2] there are now other apps like Authnkey that allow it. They didn't exist when I started Passchain, the Play Service was the only way to use them on Android

  21. Ich würde gerne ein Spiel untersuchen, das erstmal nur mit #google play services bzw. #microg läuft und dann auch noch, sobald ich den Traffic mit #mitmproxy / #pcapdroid im Klartext mitlesen will, sagt, dass es gar keine Internetverbindung hat.

    Zur Verfügung stehen mir mein Laptop mit #Linux, das zu untersuchende #Android Gerät und theoretisch noch mein TP-Link Router mit Original Firmware.

    Was kann ich machen, damit das mit der Entschlüsselung klappt?

    Could the Fediverse help me instead?

  40. If you're using Google Maps on #CalyxOS and it stopped working recently, that's because latest Google Maps needs a newer #microG version to work. As CalyxOS paused development, the workaround for now is to downgrade Maps to version 1068495399 (March release).

    1. Uninstall Google Maps app
    2. Open Aurora store, find "Google Maps" app
    3. Click "Select version"
    4. Put "1068495399"
    5. Add Google Maps to block list in Aurora to prevent automatic updates

  48. @viralobscurity @omgubuntu while I agree with the sentiment, no part of it will help with the issues described in the original post.

    Media gatekeeping is worse than US cable media of decades earlier already and apps will be affected the same on android, play services or not. And while there is a way to get play store apps with a #degoogled OS like with #microG, the age verification framework will hit stern resistance with the userbase and apps will probably just not work.

    Impractical for most.
