This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

No, not after he removed everything with Google in the name, including Google Play services.
What anon doesn't realize it's that you don't need to root your phone for all this, you can just use adb or the universal android debloater.
— sent from a Samsung that's degoogled in the same exact way.
I see. In that case his push notifications will not work for apps that rely on Google play services for them. A few other things off the top of my head:
A-GPS SUPL must be changed Captive portal must be changed DNS, NTP servers must be changed Depending on how much you trust Chromium system webview should be avoided
It is not trivial to remove Google from Android, even AOSP
Yep, those are all issues you run into. Without microg you lose quite a bit of functionality. Personally, I'm content with sending less data to Google, so I leave some things alone.
