There's everything you need on F-droid, and it's botnet-free

There isn't, i'm from Lithuania, the local bus trafic app needs google location nlp thingy, navigation apps are trash comapared to google apps, i just can't stand them being so free to censor what they want, when will governments step in and ban internet censorship

It's pretty legit, everythings is open source, and you can compile from source if youre paranoid.
Google doesn't make any money, it's an unofficial port. Hovewer, if you want to use push notifications, you have to allow it to connect to google's servers, but its disabled by default.
You also can choose your own location backend. I use Mozilla Locations Services (https://f-droid.org/packages/org.microg.nlp.backend.ichnaea/), which works pretty well, but if you want 0 botnet, you should use https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fitchfamily.android.wifi_backend/

I only ever use microg.

Huge gains in battery life and privacy with no downsides

Everyone's got this problem, most bus companies just hire some nigger to make them a shitty app so they can show themselves as innovative with muh bus schedules in real time, the nigger just slaps the google maps API on it and asks for a bag full of money.
Solution: get a car. It's the only app i've had trouble replacing/making work after getting rid of gapps.

Can I ask, what do I need to magisk hide to pass the safety net, im on nougat 7.1, so I'm using an unofficial systemles xposed via magisk and then using a xposed module to implemment spoofing permisions, i'd assume everything should work since magisk can hide root but safety net still wont pass

There's an option for me we used to use an oldass mobile site back in nokia age, it works great but wont show the map
I'm more interested in what navigation app you use, i got used to google maps, since microG sopposedly wont send them my shit what does it matter if i use it or any of their stuff
