Not GP, but I looked into that option. The problem to me seems that most popular apps depend on Google Play Services in some way. So your options are (a) use microG (which seems pretty janky), or (b) install the real Play Services, which puts you back at square one.

I don't see how it's shallow to consider that as janky. [1] https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Implementation-Status https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Implementation-Status
- jacooper 4y agoI use MicroG daily, and never faced issue with apps it all. Everything works
- jacooper 4y agoClayx ships with MicroG and almost every app works with no problems. GrapheneOS has a GMS install option, but it installs it as a non root service, so you are still going much more private than stock Android.
