Enjoy apps never working properly again and malware from installing shit without the play store.

Not tinfoil, Just looking for better performance and battery life, and my favorite apps are getting shit updates.

Plus I haven't had a single ad in any app since getting rid of gapps, which is nice.

The entire fucking point of the Play Services is to reduce battery usage across apps by providing an API to lower the amount of time the phone spends awake.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
NO

>Manually

What, why.

- go get https://f-droid.org/ and use it to keep programs up to date

- go get a reversed google play services which just passes around GCM so you can use Signal (textsecure) and other regular apps in Google Playstore https://o9i.de/2015/10/23/howto-gmscore.html outdated but still relevant article, source here: https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore

You can block adds in all apps easily at the hosts file level

>battery life

turn down your screen brightness it's 90% of battery life.

can also just run in battery saver mode, you still get updates to chat programs and SMS/calls, but you don't have constant synch of background junk like Gmail app trying to snitch on your moving location every 30seconds

Use AdAway too.
Blocks ads on system level.
