I hope that my rooted One UI 7 doesn’t get the update through some backdoor in the Google Play Services package… Or the next time I unblock Google Play to update the very few paid apps that I use…

      Nice! Especially the Liberux, as it seems like it’s going to have “jailed” Android for apps that need that environment. Maybe that’s similar to what Graphene does with their sandboxed Google Play Services?

      If my Samsung is shot (and shut) down during this year, I’m leaning toward a Liberux, Jolla or a Fairphone with Ubuntu Touch, in that order.
