Why is /g/ so afraid of muh botnet? Don't want Google to know about your Loli porn?

Ever had a stalker? Someone who follows you around and records where you go, what you do, and so on? Like, in real life. It's creepy and disquieting even if they never interfere with you and all the stuff you're doing is perfectly mundane. People get restraining orders to stop this shit. That's what Google is doing, only on the internet.

i feel more comforted now. i thought i had no friends or a sempai to even notice me.

so i am glad google knows i go to the liquor store and order enough pizza for a party of 1 online. I'll drink to that

I welcome our Google botnet overlords
>>
>>58127834

I've been without gapps for 2 weeks now. Its alright, but I really miss Shuttle+, my mobile banking app, and Nova Launcher. I like to rice my shit.
>>
>>58127834
Have CM13 or some shit. Online banking provider suddenly requires app to login. Doesn't work because it says phone is rooted. Change bank.
>>
>>58129746

>>
>>58129805

>>58131862

>>
I use free google software too much to switch.

Spy on me all you want, thanks for youtubemapskeepmailetc. googie.

There are alternatives like NewPipe, or you can use your browser.
>maps
ZANavi, OsmAnd. They work fully offline.

>>58127834
been gappsfree for over a year now, I don't really miss it. The only shitty thing is that the calendar on cm actually requires a google account. But there is simple calendar on f droid which does what I want it to do.

I download apps from the paly store with raccoon downloader if I really need them.
>>
>>58133694
Apps I currently use btw

>Clover
>amaze (file manager)
>naked browser pro (I still get it via raccoon because I payed 1 fucking euro for it)
>equate (unit converter, usefull for euros on 4chan since most here don't use metric)
>f droid
>simple gallery app
>simple calendar app
>gapps browser (sandbox browser if I really need some google shit)
>k9 mail
>libre signal
>new pipe
>öffi
>osmand
>plants vs zombies from the amazon app store
>solitairecg
>startpage
>threema
>transportr (cool app if you want to avoid downloading the app for deutsche bahn for example)
>vanilla music

I also have some other stuff from google play store but I barely use them
>>
>>58127967
If you build copperhead yourself like me you can add the F-Droid Privileged Extension to the build for auto updates with no confirmation dialog
>>
>>58127834
CyanogenMod no GApps, no MicroG, no FakeGApps.
Why would I install applications that need Google Play Service AND application that "simulate" GPS while I want to avoid these and there is alternatives?
>>
>>58133739
Just use metric you eurocuck. It's their fault they're stupid and still browse /g/.
>amazon app store
Why not use Aptoide? It includes most apps found on play store and even older versions (just like F-droid).

I use metric but other people don't. Especially on /fit/ when they talk about their weight or lifts and I don't know how much its in caliphate units.

>amazon app store
I use it because of pvz and a weather app I got for free. Not much more desu.
>>
Does normie messaging shit (Whatsapp..) work without GApps?
>>
>>58134525
snapchat don't
that's the main reason I stopped using it. no ragrets, it was more shitty with every update.
>>
>>58134525
Whatsapp does. Even if it didn't, you can always use fake gapps to fool it.
>>
>>58127931
In my use case it's a tablet from 2012 that is totally unusable with gapps installed due to how much gapps rapes the cpu/ram.

So I just sideload what I need and it's only used for video and music playback, I don't use Google Apps on it at all, if I really want to I could go to the site in the browser but even Naked Browser struggles, and typing is insanely slow on the default keyboard (any other keyboard crashes on the rom [slimkat] and I'm too lazy to change it)

Relay master race

Ungogled my android a few days ago, the only thing that gets me mad is that I cannot activate poweramp. I have both email and google play license, but first one doesn't work for some reason, and the other... well, I no longer use gapps. Any ideas how to get it to work / crack it / is there any other music player that's not total shit?
(tried black and mad something and they're both trash)
Other apps that I use:
-Nova Prime (restored with TB, seems to werk just fine)
-TB Pro (bought the non-google license, works like charm)
-Root Browser (paid version, restored with TB, seems to work)
-Firecucks (Best browser for desktop, but it sucks dick (and battery) on android. What should I use instead?)
-that's all?
Willing to try xposed in near future, any good modules for it? (something that disables / enables my data connection would be nice, especially with settingd like "disable after N minutes with screen off", " enable when apps X, Y and Z wants to connect and screen is on"
