Huawei: Google-Apps und -Dienste auf Huawei-Tablets installieren (Update 2) https://www.computerbase.de/artikel/tablets/huawei-tablets-google-play-store-apps-installieren.88739/#update-2025-06-16T13:12 #Huawei #Tablet #GooglePlayStore #microG

Does anybody know an #OpenSource replacement for #NovaLauncher on #android?

On #LineageOS, with #MicroG, my payed nova instance cannot check the validity of its licence any longer, even if the pro companion app has been updated. Thus, the pro features habe been deactivated.

Lawnchair or trebuchet are by no means as powerful.

I need multiple virtual desktops with cyclic turnover, backup/restore and free widget scaling.

It is now a month since I switched from a normal #android phone to one running #calyxos. While I still use #microg it is not linked with a google account anymore. I use the Aurora Store and f-droid, are more conscious which apps I install. Generally, I use less apps and more direct links via browser.

And I must say: it is great. Less notifications, less stress, less fear priming an algorithm in a wrong way.

I do not miss much. Payment via NFC and information in google maps sometimes.

If you have a spare phone, you might want to try out a #MicroG-based OS like #CalyxOS. I can't guarantee that it'd work better, but it's a nice middle ground between no google services and "sandboxed" google services, because it's a FOSS re-implementation of the google services.

The other option would maybe be putting sandboxed google play and just the troublesome apps in a work profile, so you can turn that all off and on as you need it and contain the badness?

There once was a website where you could see if a smartphone app would run with MicroG or in general without play services.

If I ever am lucky enough to switch to a Fairphone with different OS fork, it would be nice if I could check beforehand if my banking TAN app would work on it.

But I can't seem to find the site anymore. 🤔

#Android #MicroG

Jag har länge kört med #LineageOS tillsammans med #microg för att slippa google på min telefon. Det funkar kanon verkligen, och det är nästan aldrig att en app inte vill funka trots avsaknad av google play tjänster.

Nåt som jag däremot saknat länge är en bra text-till-tal-motor så att jag kan få text uppläst när jag exempelvis kör bil. Fram tills nu. #SherpaTTS. Vilken grej! Jag kan alltså få svensk text genererad till röst LOKALT PÅ MIN TELEFON, och det funkar till och med ganska bra!

@lara_vm Ich fing mal mit Lineage an, und bin nach einem kurzen Exkurs zu /e/os bei Graphene gelandet.

Ich habe ne Menge Googlefreie Apps von F-Droid, möchte aber auf manches nicht verzichten, das auch mit #microg als Ersatz für Google den Dienst verweigert.

In Graphene habe ich ein vertrauliqhes Profil angelegt, um dort Google und die betreffenden Apps einzusperren.

Der große Rest läuft im googlefreien Standartprofil.

#Googlemerda, sarà la fine di un era in nome di una falsa sicurezza, se nessuno sbatterà i pugni sul tavolo saremo costretti a rimanere recitanti da #google o #Apple, le custom ROM erano l'ultimo baluardo di libertà digitale su smartphone considerando il poco sviluppo di sistemi come #ubport e affini. #noplayintegrityapi #playintegrityapi #rom #android #freesoftware #freesoftwarefoundation #linux #europa #Murena #lineageos #iodeOS #microg #boostme #opensource #Liberta

@cavalma @fanta me interesa el tema, así que retooteo. Yo tengo #lineageOS con #MicroG, pero aún no se me ha dadonpor instalar ningún certificado digital.

Soo, I guess my transition from #CalyxOS on #Moto G52 to #GrapheneOS on #Pixel 7 Pro is complete. 😮‍💨

I still miss how decluttered and clean @CalyxOS presented stuff. ✨ @GrapheneOS with that "sandboxed Play Services" really messes things up from the user's side. I don't want a #Google account, no burner, just none. So apps keep complaining that I'm not logged in or that I'm offline, because I restricted network access. Didn't have that hassle with #MicroG. Guess that's the price for extra safety!

@nightdice 5 - #microG has experimental methods for payment verification. It is included in /e/ and can be installed in lineageOS

@tiretpointtiret /e/ #murena #eos fonctionne chez moi sur un #fairphone #fp3 avec #proton #threema #tpg #cff #bcv #bcvtwint

J'ai récemment lu sur @gnulinux (en allemand) que certaines app #twint (notamment #ubs #ubstwint, #banquemigros #banquemigrostwint) ne fonctionneraient plus sans #microg

Pas testé les autres, je suis relativement sobre

@wilms
Zumindest ermöglicht #Curve mir den Workaround, auf einem (annähernd) Google-freien Android-Gerät (#iodeOS, #microG) per Smartphone zu bezahlen. (Und solange @glsbank keine Wallet-App bereitstellt. Bei der @triodosde sieht die Software sehr ähnlich aus, und sie haben eine ... Standards, so schwierig...)

@ail @thenewoil That's not an excuse - protonmail app can work just fine over #microG as well for example.
Also, who said that we have to use them via an app? I use both Tuta and Proton via browser on both PC and (degoogled) smartphone :)

❓​:boost_requested:​ Question pour les personnes qui utilisent #MicroG ou #eOS #murenaos :

Arrivez vous a avoir un GPS fiable ?
Si oui, comment ?

Pendant longtemps ma solution était d’utiliser AppleWifiNlpBackend, mais ce n’est visiblement plus possible…

Erledigt:

Man muss sich nicht nur in der App Lounge anmelden. Eine Anmeldung in der #microG App ist ebenfalls notwendig.

Wenn man's weiß...🙄

Das #murena OS ist soweit ganz prickelnd und ich schätze daran, wieder größere Hoheit über meine Daten zu haben, aber die Doku könnte ein bissken dicker sein.

Jetzt muss ich nur noch herausfinden, warum unified push bei #Moshidon und #FediLab nicht funktioniert.

I have recently become aware of the existence of #microG, which is very interesting to me. I consider trying to install it on my #Android #Fairphone 3+.

Any one has some experience doing that?

Hei #Allheimen. Som me alle veit, er #tekno-nerdar overrepresenterte her. Har nokon av dykk eit godt svar på korleis ein sølle amatør skal kunna bruke til dømes Vips (ja, eg nektar å skrive det med to p-ar) på ein avgoogla telefon? DNB gjer det i alle fall såpass vanskeleg at eg ikkje får det til, så eg reknar eigentleg med at svaret er «gløym det og gå tilbake til google, din teknonisse». #microg #lineageos

Ein googlefreies #Smartphone für unter 90 Euro! Das bietet #Martkkauf mit dem #Motorola #Moto g34 - vom 12. - 17. Mai. In Kürze wird das #ungoogled #Android von calyxos.org dafür erscheinen. Mit #Firewall, #microG & #AuroraStore Sag "Tschüss" zur #Datenkrake #Google #Privatsphäre #Datenschutz

Moving from a normal #android phone with google account and full google services to one with #microg and no google account finally done. Curious how it will affect my usage. Lucky for me I moved contacts and calendar to CardDav and CalDav long ago, so no issue there. Besides tasks.

Already it lead to some new app choices, updated password manager entries and also changed passwords. Alone for this it was already worth it.

For now I use @calyxos with F-droid and Aurora Store.
