  • As far as I know, microG only sends data when Device Registration/google login is turned on, Push Notifications in microG are enabled, and through UnifiedNLP (location services). Data gets sent to Google through unifiedNLP due to the fact that the Secure User-Plane Location (SUPL) provider in Android’s gps.conf file is Google. There is a Magisk module to replace the SUPL provider, but again that requires root.

    MicroG doesn’t install a usable version of Google maps, and I wouldn’t try to install one if using microG. I am unaware of what data Google Speech Synthesis/Recognition sends if anything (I have it blocked from having internet access using a root firewall as a precaution).

    The e/OS team has tried to strip every bit of Google out of Android, but getting everything out is hard. Putting Google stuff back in is fine if you know and control what data is being sent. I accept the tradeoff of potential data being leaked when using Android Auto because I have much of it blocked from internet access, but that also might be why AA eventually stopped passing the security check on my device.



  • I don’t use e/OS , i use LineageOS, but I use microG and had Android Auto working for a while. The problem is that AA is very fussy about security checks and things, and eventually it stopped working and I couldn’t get it to work again. Support for projects like Android Auto 4 microG from Sn00x and rikj000 are drying up.

    Android Auto - XLauncher Unlocked can help with using apps that aren’t explicitly supported in AA.











  • I’m glad it didn’t happen where you live. But you’re saying this “take is dumb” because you didn’t experience it at two out of thousands of protests, which is like saying, “since it didn’t happen to me, it didn’t happen.”

    I saw the democratic establishment propaganda at my local protest. That’s not to say that the protests are bad, but having a party that’s right of center glob onto what is essentially a populist movement and use it as a campaign rally is kind of disheartening.

    We need to be voting for actual leftists. Whether they run as a democrat, a green, or an independent.
