so, what are you planning to do?
>>108337292I already use an iPhone so continue with my life as is, unbothered.
>xir thinks the jeets will be the ones proving IDlmao
>>108337292Use Iphone.
>>108337292Just use an uncertified android deviceFuck google, I don't need that gang of h1b immigrants in my phone anywayThe Pocket PC/cyberdeck market should pick up a littlebit after this google move ( I know I will be buying one)
>>108337292I will abandon Android and go back to a flip phone that has a whitelist for incoming phone calls and SMS so that I can be confident that only white people have the ability to demand my attention
>>108337292Surely this improves the quality of the app store and removes jeet slop?
>>108337352>Implying your million different photovieweer and flashlight aps won't just get Signhed.
>>108337292There will ALWAYS be alternatives. Human ingenuity will always prevail.
>>108337352But how do you remove the jeetslop from Android itself.
>>108337334>cyberdeck
What the fuck is a certified Android device ?Can I keep using apps from F-Droid ? If not, the European Union will be setting a new fine record.
>>108337292>iJeetification500m of indians don't even have an ID
>>108337466>European Union will be setting a new fine record.five or ten years from now.
>>108337299This is your life and it is ending one second at a time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbmgV7Oyp0w
>>108337292I regret buying a Google-certified Android device
Why can't Android be just forked into a non-shitty Android distro?
>>108337352you already had to dox yourself to google to upload shit to the app store. it literally won't affect that at all. all it affects is your ability to install (or """sideload""") third party apps
>>108337973I think people are completely ignoring this. All the absolute garbage on Play, all the scam apps, all the literal malware is already "verified" and this won't change a thing. This is just to kill FDroid and the apps that refuse to be on Play.
>>108337956>what is aosp
>>108338000You can't even use the play store without logging in with an account. It doesn't affect normal people who get their apps from f-droid or just apks.
>>108337292It only applies to idiots who installed google play store and therefore not my problem>but without google play you can't do Xexactly, I.don't need X. Everything I need can be satisfied with open source software.
Fuck it, I'm moving to India and shitting outside, and probably dying to a train selfie. Fuck everything.
>>108337292I've been using Murena Teracube with no issues, so I'd recommend people go there instead.
You've had 10 years to buy a Pinephone.
>>108338055>tranny talking to xemself>>>/lgbt/
>>108337299same. i was using pixels since they were called nexus and finally had enough and moved to an iphone 17.if i am going to be stuck on a wall garden platform i might as well use apple.
>>108337466EU let Apple get away with a whitelist of apps, why wouldnt Google?
>>108339279YOU'VE had 10 years to buy one. have you?
Any recommendations for non-Google android distributions?
>>108339968all android is google.
I'm just crossing my fingers that being on the chinese brand Unihertz saves my ass. Probably won't but whatever I'll just swap to a feature phone and learn how to play around with code there.
>>108337956Google gatekeeps your bank via attestation that requires certified Android. Soon all official apps will required certified Android or iOS. If your device isn't locked down and signed by a large tech corporation you are an outlaw and bereft of rights.
>>108337292Apk mods are done for so I'll just buy an iphone
>>108339807maybe eu chads will be like "now there are no alternatives, everyone FUCK OFF" and then apple will have to Sneed territory
>>108340603EU will just tell Google and Apple to ban all apps with pro-White or islamophobic or antisemitic content once side loading is gone.
so how does this prevent github apks from being installed on 1. a regular Android device, and 2. grapheneos?
>>108340657For regular Android, they're going to require APKs to also be signed through this process.
>>108340357>Google gatekeeps your banklol watHow can they take my card out of my wallet? Don't tell me your money only exists on the internet...
>>108337292I only use the phone to make phonecalls, send messages and play solitaire before sleepIt seems that won't affect me much. I don't even keep the phone logged in a google account, coz I don't install apps much
>>108337292Ill just install graphene, lineage or oxygen os. Problem solved
>>108340673ok so somehow google is hooked into the app installation process for Android - it's not just Google Play on the path of install. Google literally is the whole path?
>>108340822Google is going to be pushing a Play Integrity update in September that will require all APK installations to be signed with a Play Integrity-provided cert
>>108340841Which requires the devs to dox themselves to jewgle and pay fees
>>108340689Bank apps don't work if your phone is jailbroken. There's a physical fuse in the SoC that breaks if your firmware doesn't pass hash/MD5 checks or whatever.
>>108340841it's interesting a single company dictates some app store installation "integrity check" for ALL apps.Is the android project not fully open source?
>>108340869I just want to take a second to remind people the grapheneos CAN run banking apps including rbc, Scotiabank, tangerine, and morethat is all
>>108338019AOSP is fucking dead
>>108337292i'm getting a freetard phoneabout time to drop poogle
>>108340933So can lineage, for now
>>108339299we appreciate you signing your posts with a personal description, and the board you frequent the most, but looks like you forgot to attach your message
Trannies fucking hate Apple, so Apple must be doing something right
>>108342221since when do trannies hate Apple? Don't the faggots love Apple. I've never met a gay person that wasn't an Apple user.
>>108337292Next step, I supposed, would be stopping GrapheneOS from just running play services in a container.Your phone will be either verified by Google or unable to run play services. ...For your safety, of course. Heh heh heh...!
>>108342244I said tranny, not gay, iRajesh
How long till Google blocks the Pixel from flashed? No more Graphene
>>108337292not my problem
>>108339968sailfish and ubuntu touch
>>108342420>9 year old phone>9 year old version of poodroid>7am aka third world timezonegoodmorningsaar
>>108342453>retard doesn't know what demo mode is
>>108337292I will continue to sparingly use my mid-range stock android as a normiephone. I use it to message people and to add people on instagram so they don't think I'm rude, although I never actually use instagram. I also use my bank's shitty app. I've never liked doing anything serious on a phone. They are terrible.
>>108342495>i be of using the demo mode saar9 year old phone, 9 year old poodroidyou are turdie.
>>108342507>9 year old phoneit just werks, plus new phones lack a removable battery>9 year old poodroidnewdroid sucks ass, it's locked down with a worse ui
>>108342495it will soon be made illegal don't you follow the news?
>>108342499This. Phones are for retards.
>>108342507>you are turdieranjeet please
>>108340869>Have old ass android phone running 10>Refuse to update because trash UI and less customization >Banking apps no longer work>Just use the website on my phone instead Most of the apps are just a front end for their site anyway. Almost all major banks are 1-1 app to website in terms of function.
>>108337412The alternative is not bothering with "phones" and just using a laptop running Linux if you want to connect to the internet.Some of us already do this because we knew this is how the phone thing would end. You refused to listen though.Install Gentoo.
>>108342851So I take it you have no friends, no girlfriend and no job?
>>108342352It's coming. You can count on it. They want total and absolute control.
>>108340357>>108340869>muh bamk apI just plug my digital id into my arch linux gaming pc when I need to make transactions. No google play garbage on my phone.
What if you're a developer? Are you going to have to get your app signed just to test your hello world?
>>108337292two phones, certified device for good goy tasks, custom rom/whatever for everything else, plenty of handheld compute devices out there though huawei might be an option, afaik they allow third parties and some good goy stuff runs on them, but they're worse than google on openness so doubt it would last
>>108340917no, almost all of it was during the early days buy they aggressively planned ahead and purged almost all GPL code for BSD since the start, down the line they have been replacing the BSD parts with proprietary parts, effectively abandoning those BSD parts and turning them proprietary software they have also started to gatekeep changes on their upstream tree to disadvantage forks like graheneos/lineageos forcing them to be quite behind major android changes you can still get a fully open source android but you will be missing a lot of compatibility with google's android, and plenty of things are half abandoned apps that are outdated or buggy
>>108343624you seem to know a lot and I'm curious, so I'm going to list some questions. Its ok if you don't know all the answers>why can't we just stay on the current, open android forever and just patch security issues for ever?>why do android/google developers willingly create this?>why do google managers and other employees willingly enforce these rules>why hasn't a open source program for phones that is not dependent on Google been made yetI use grapheneos and it works great. I'd love it to just stay this way
>>108337292I'm so fucking sick of this jeetware. When my S22 kicks the bucket I'm just gonna come out of the closet and buy an iToy. I'm too old for tinkering with my cell phone.
>>108342221Define "trannies" in this contextWho are the trannies that hate on Apple
The iPhone 17 pro max beat the most powerful android flagship the s26 ultra and the Red Magic 11 Pro too.too easy. >>108339273 >>108342747 >>108342902
>>108342559>doesn’t know that turdie is a portmanteau of thirdie and turd. >accuses others of being ESL when they are more than likely EFL after Hindi, Tamil, Bengali and Urdu >wojakspamming xwitter-immigrant shartypedogoodmorningsaar
>>108337292Didn't they say they WEREN'T going to do this before after saying they would?
>>108337507Woah, that was deep!
>>108345362
I want to move from Xiaomi OS but their bootloader unlock process is cancer.>have to log into community app every day at certain time Beijing Timezone and click in hopes of receiving s limited unlock ticket
>>108337292wew, that was easy
come home, yellow man
>>108348147I don't have those
>>108348232no
>>108348261that's not the juden staren, goy
>>108348257I assume they'll come eventually with software updates.
android is dogshit now, you can't even have "developer tools" enabled anymore to open certain apps. today an update dropped on my S23 with a warning that it could not be downgraded anymore, I guess recovery mode is gone as well.there is no alternative anymore, I all want is my current phone with an OS that isn't the digital equivalent of a chastity cage
>>108348428I'm not updating to a16 because of this
>>108348467sell it and get a rootable Chinaphone or one of the open source ones
>>108337299Based. Drop the act and join us, Android-chan. It’s better over here.
>>108337292Will I still be able to install the slop I make through adb?
>>108348529Knowing goolag, they will patch PlayServices to do it on older versions.
>>108337334>Just use an uncertified android deviceWait till banks will require certified android devices
>>108337292I will install linux on my phoen or something
>>108337292Look at the responses from some of the manufacturers. Some Motorola phones may move to GrapheneOS.
>>108340869My bank app stopped working due to my phone being too old anyways. I just use the website now.
>>108342871Just no gf. I'll be sitting back and watching the masses slow realization that they've been corralled into a life of digital id, social credit score, and whatever else it may entail for themselves and their children.
>>108349796>My bank app stopped working due to my phone being too old anyways. I just use the website now.Why did they need a new phone for banking apps?
>>108337292>app makers add a nag textboxLol.
