That is not true. MicroG works just fine on Lineage and there are no Google services on their AOSP distribution until you add them yourself. You have to manually Google the OS; not de-Google it.
- jqpabc123 2y agoGoogle servers and services are hard coded into the AOSP distribution at various points. These could be used to facilitate identification and tracking. e/OS/ removes, replaces and/or anonymizes these. LineageOS does not. https://doc.e.foundation/support-topics/deGoogling-scope-and-definition-within-the-context-of-eos https://doc.e.foundation/support-topics/deGoogling-scope-and...
- SpecialistK 2y agoThen someone here is lying: > Why do we need a custom build of LineageOS to have microG? Can't I install microG on the official LineageOS? > MicroG requires a patch called "signature spoofing", which allows the microG's apps to spoof themselves as Google Apps. LineageOS' developers refused (multiple times) to include the patch, forcing us to fork their project. > Wait, on their FAQ page I see that they don't want to include the patch for security reasons. Is this ROM unsafe? > No. LineageOS' developers decided not to include this patch for various reasons. The signature spoofing could be an unsafe feature only if the user blindly gives any permission to any app, as this permission can't be obtained automatically by the apps. Moreover, to further strengthen the security of our ROM, we modified the signature spoofing permission so that only system privileged apps can obtain it, and no security threat is posed to our users. https://lineage.microg.org/#faq https://lineage.microg.org/#faq
