Likely the vast majority of the apps you’re running are from devs that now have to register. My concern is that google changes the APK’s to have cryptographically secure elements that require their latest play store and end up starving graphineOS users out of apps.
It’s time for me to look for a new phone or install GraphineOS and this is what’s holding me back. If I do all the work to switch over to GraphineOS and then Alphabet/Google make it impossible to run unapproved apps so I have to buy a new android phone anyway.
cries in GrapheneOS because I understand that I live in a society and a personal workaround is not the same as solving the underlying antitrust/consumer protection law problem

I’m just hoping for a postmarketOS phone that can last a full day on a charge and keep LTE4 speed data service.
If Grapheme goes bust I’ll get a Linux phone I think. Seems like the last option besides a dumb phone with Signal (apparently there are a few)
But I really like the fact my phone can tune my guitar and play GameBoy games 😅
You can still run most android apps in a pinch on waydroid
The Linux Experiment dude did 30 days on halium/ubports and is sticking wiht it.

So, the AUR doesn’t happen to Android phones. -It’s in their best interest.
