    I still don’t how they (and F-Droid) plan to bypass the whole de al with Google killing non-PlayStore aproved© apps, tho. GrapheneOS relies on that as well.

      Graphene doesn’t rely on any Google Services. They compile the OS themselves and don’t include those services.

      If you want it, you have to choose to install them.

        My point was that Graphene uses non Play Store software, including an app store. But what I underestand from the comments is that the prohibition of software installation relies on Google Play Services, so Graphene is on the clear with that.

      You can install apps freely with ADB so it will work that way or simply by removing google services, from what i understood(but i may be wrong) it’s done by using google services so you need to uninstall them

      It doesn’t. There are several alternative installation sources available. On this Pixel tablet there is no Google Play originating software at all.

        That was my point, GrapheneOS relies partially on installing non Google Play originating software.

          I don’t understand your point. You can operate GOS completely without any Google sourced application or services. This how I run my tablet. My phone has Google Play sandboxed. It has no additional permissions.
