And two-thirds of the updates and installs will pop up a dialog from Google requesting you in misleading terms to enable Play Protect if you haven't. Where the entire point of F-Droid for me is to stay out of Google's grasp and ecosystem.
- discardedrefuse 4y agoI've been using F-Droid for many years. Currently, I'm on a stock, never rooted OnePlus 8 running Android 11 (OnePlus's OxygenOS). Google services are present, disabled where possible, and I am not signed into a Google account. I install all apps from F-Droid and the Aurora Store; including several banking apps. I've never seen the Play Protect message you're talking about.
- hnburnsy 4y agoIf you have Play Store services disabled, you probably don't have Play Protect working as I believe it runs under the Play Services.
- discardedrefuse 4y agoI do have Play Store services enabled and updated. I do "system" app updates (Carrier Services, Android System WebView, Play Services, etc) through the Play Store's update mechanism (which is still available even though I'm not signed in to a Google account). I do "user" app installs (Schwab, Amex, Fastmail, Element, etc) from Aurora and F-Droid.
