That's a privileged Google Play (GMS) thing. Any OS with it (eg. stock OS', or LineageOS + "GApps", etc) will be subject to it. GrapheneOS sandboxes Google Play, so, it has no privileges, like all other apps, and can't just force things. This is true if you install it at all, which is optional (1/2)

Same here, I have one of the "grandfathered" free GApps accounts.

Nothing else does it better and I'd have to pay anybody else (Proton, MS365)

Thoughts on Google apps with non-Google backends? I've decoupled most of my data from any single platform, so any client is fair game — including GApps.

The issue is that GApps without Google backends would lose their unique features and push for Google's backend. That bothers me more than the DRM.

A striking passage from the "Queensland" chapter of Perkins', Gapps', Murray's and Reynolds' recently-published "The Australian Wars".
"The colonisers themselves [...] had ultimately been successfully colonised by global capitalism as well".

@eri Flash Custom ROM!

I don't use it for anything other than watching yt videos while I'm eating so I didn't even install gapps. Maybe at some point I'll try to get postmarketos (or whatever they renamed it to) working on it

how do you use gapps or not and get a new gif

All for that SAME heckin' *Enter Pin Code*
component shared by EVERY Indian pay-app.

And GPay sits there all *UwU* because it's
the slimmest size of 'em all and whatnot.

...

*Liar.*

As if the reason isn't that GApps are suuuuuuuper privileged on Android.

Webapps like that do exist (for example, various emulators) but they're also often not browser agnostic and strongly prefer working only on chromium-based browsers. Very few people would actually do this, and obviously GApps and Office 365 aren't 'open' in any way.

Flashing an Android 17 custom ROM like LineageOS 24? Most aftermarket firmware excludes proprietary Google services by default. Here is the verified collection of Android 17 GApps packages—including NikGapps, BiTGApps, LiteGApps, and the standalone Google Installer APK. #Android17 #GApps #CustomROM
Download GApps for Android 17: Installer APK, and Setup Guide
Google’s rollout of Android 17 expands the operating system across modern Pixel hardware, but millions of older smartphones must rely on aftermarket distributions like LineageOS 24, DerpFest, and BlissROM to experience the new platform generation. Because open-source custom ROMs legally cannot distribute proprietary Google Mobile Services out of the box, flashing an Android 17-compatible GApps package is necessary to access the Google Play Store, Play Services APIs, and cloud-synchronized applications.

AmazonのGApps入りタブレット、11インチでも6万くらいするんか・・・
October 10, 2026 at 3:11 PM
SUCCESS!
While this still meant installing Gapps to use Ibis again, I finally have Lineage OS on my tablet!
The lewd factory is back in business!
October 4, 2026 at 6:54 AM
Okay. So, the game plan is to try again with the Lineage install, but also side loading Gapps so Ibis will work with no trouble.
Sucks that despite all that effort and research, I am still reliant on Google to a degree.

What about a bundle like the "gapps" we used to flash separately on custom roms? Because I'm confident most people don't even use those apps and have dedicated ones tailored to their liking. Am I wrong?

Well, if you can do Google in-app purchases, you can. But screw you if you have a de-Googled phone indeed 💖 and having Google on your phone in 2026-2027 feels like a liability to me whereas six years ago the first thing I did on a newly-reflashed phone was installing gapps

何とかgapps抜きでlineage19入れるとこまで戻した。やはりTitan同様重くてどうもならん印象。もう一回/e/入れてもいいがこっちは勝手にrecoveryも書き換えてTWRP消しちゃうのでインストールがうまくいけばいいが行かないとまたTWRPからやり直しが面倒くさい。どーすっかなあ
September 21, 2026 at 1:22 PM
I haven't, but a lot of that is probably due to lack of use

I originally installed it with GApps and used some google play apps (without issue)

I recently re-did it via lineageos with microg, but am not using any google apps (so far)

The real test would be if needing to use it to verify ID etc

Mmm, ye, sure
It's just a stochastic parrot

Letting Claude code setup Android dockerized and fix the magisk bugs while we are at it

And install all other requirements for coding and debugging

Oh well😂

I'm reading The Sydney Wars by Stephan Gapps at the moment and one of the most interesting things I've found is the intense similarities in the behaviours between the English colonists and the Israeli colonists in the West Bank. There was so much self-directed violence happening from the colonists

Už zase prudíme - #ŠkolaOnline od #Bakaláři po startu okamžitě spadne s hláškou "something went wrong", když nemáte GApps.
