microG GmsCore - FLOSS Play Services compatible framework
asked 2015-10-09 19:38:55 +0300
I just discovered that someone has just released an FLOSS implementation of the play services: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-microg-gmscore-floss-play-services-t3217616
This could be interesting to being able to use apps that require play services without the privacy (and battery drain) concern of installing the original one. Just as an example My bank app use play services, so I cannot use it on my Jolla. With this package I may be able to use it without installing that crap.
Actually I was not able to get it to work on my phone, but could be interesting to invest some more time in it. Have a nice weekend
That's pretty cool!
