I still dont understand how the graphene sandboxing is better than microG that is a randomized ID more or less, why I should install feds apps on my phone? even if they're sandoboxed
its down to your threat model, microg runs as root, sandboxed play runs as a normal app.
There is one philosophy that says the less privileges the better, the smaller the risk surface
oooh ok, now its all clear, thats why people blame microG for security stuff, thats right didnt thought about that at all, damn dumb me fr, thanks man, thanks for the help
You can choose not to use it at all. My main profile does not and all work fine. Non privacy respecting/ goggle dependent apps I keep in a separate profile.
You can't do that on calyx.
Since play on GOS is toothless , while microG is a hacked up job yea it's better. Microg is ofc amazing , but still a have issues.
If you're not running play services youll have to set up push notifications with something like ntfy or use background sync which uses more batteries.
Ntfy for apps that support it
Could you please elaborate so that I know what to look into? I plan to switch and no notifications is a concern of mine.
