The software maker will use the Recommended section of the Start menu, which usually shows file recommendations, to suggest apps from the Microsoft Store.
Cheap chineseAll android phoneI would not say all some of us run Graphene OS with Google Play Services stripped from Android.
Well, that’s fair. You’re an absolutely miniscule minority of Android users though
That is very true indeed but my battery lasts for 2 days though because of it so I’ll call that a win.
Where do the battery gains come from?
I’m guessing it’s a combination of general optimizations, Google Play services & store not having the same level of background and network capabilities, and more control over background apps in general.
OK. I have no google services running but do not get amazing battery. Its probably because I have a couple of messaging apps awake in the background though. I tried self-hosting push notifications but didn’t get it working reliably.
This is what I do I self host pretty much most of my services.
Not Fairphones. Fairphones are ad-free, bloatware-free and privacy-focused.
Their mission is amazing but I’m not going to sit here and pretend any Google-laden Android isn’t also ad-laden.
The Murena Fairphones in the U.S. are de-googled. They have replacements for pretty much everything, including email. You can import your google contacts. You can import your google calendar into the de-googled calendar and access it from app or web just like the google version. The only google stuff on my fairphone is what I put on it myself. And I can still download and run every app on the google play store if I choose.
That’s awesome, never heard of this! I was referring to the stock Fairphones, which are absolutely Google-filled. But if someone is reselling them with all that crap stripped then that project is for sure worthy of recognition.
FP4 user here. while that is true, any android ROM with google services on it isn’t privacy-focused.
but i don’t want to miss out on clash of clans, so here i am using their bullshit spyware.
Moto G60s, I can’t remember the last ad I have seen.
