Hello,
what i mean by that is that if it’s possible that some companies like Xiaomi, Realme etc will continue allowing sideloading the apps? I mean they have already modified the Android source code, how hard it could be to just allow sideloading, isn’t it just something like allow_sideloading=true.
my guess is that Google services will refused to work on phones that allows sideloading, that could prevent other companies from allowing sideloading.
what are your thoughts?
GrapheneOS can be installed without Google Services, and sandboxed if you want them. I guess it depends on if Google bakes a lock into their android binary blobs tyqt downstream OS makers have to use… Unless they start developing their own. A Linux Phone is going to be the sensible move going forward.
Only works on Google phones…
For now
I really hope its Sony. Maybe it will even be available for my 1VI…
They supply source code you can build for other phones and tweak parts to get it working, but yeah that is out of reach for most people.
