Comment on Keep Android Open (Stop Google from limiting APK file usage)

Because even if they add this 24hr lockdown in the AOSP-Project, graphene could rather easiely revert that change in their fork.

Yes. Most of those AOSP forks still use elements of android (google play services) for compatibility reasons.

Graphene doesn’t, they got their own sandboxed google play services compatibility layer. Other OS - no idea tbh.

It’s actually the opposite. GOS GPS are real GPS, most other AOSP distros use MicroG, which is reimplementation of GPS.

It’s real GPS, but within a sandbox without additional permissions. https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play
