Thanks, but there isn't a "turn off play service availability" option in my settings...

not sure about standard, but privacyguides.org has some nice resources for getting started. I recommend their "threat model" resource in particular; it shows you what direction you should work towards depending on your privacy goals.

Privacy Guides has an Android page as well.

when did they bring back the "clear all" button in c/[email protected]

Which LineageOS are you using? Mine has it on the very left and I wish it was on the bottom.

remove an app's "doesn't run without Google play services" pop up (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Hey Lemmy!

I have an app that keeps showing a pop up that it "doesn't run without Google play services". It in fact runs just fine, except for the pop up, which is extremely annoying. What are my options for removing it? And, how do apps know that I don't have Google play services?

extra details

  • I use LineageOS 21 on Android 14

  • the app is the paid version of TripView (installed via Aurora Store)

  • I tried installing microG, but it didn't remove the pop up—maybe because I haven't set up the "system spoof signature" option. But even if I do set it up, I'm concerned about:

    1. microG running some background services, wasting battery (because the app functions without any extra services)

    2. unnecessarily connecting/sending information to Google's servers
