AFAIK you have to give the app location access for it to be able to scan sourrounding networks and see the SSIDs (At least that’s how it works on the newer Android versions circa around Android 10 or 9). For bluetooth you have to enable at least the nearby devices permission. If you do these things then it makes sense that the app can track your location.

You are kind of right. I should have thought about that before commenting.

I am not educated enough about this, but don’t these kind of games unnecesarrily strain all the servers that host the packages for people that really need them for download and most of these people run these servers for free in good will and faith that they will serve meaningful needs with positive impact? I am sorry for spoiling the fun, but I felt like I had to point this out.

I think the Kiwi browser has it. EDIT: Or had it when it existed. I don’t see it on Google Play anymore.

There’s also the PersonalDNSFilter which does the equivalent while being a tiny open-source app that serves only for that purpose and also somehow still not getting banned from the Google Play store or AdAway which also has this feature or TrackerControl or…

You can’t even change brightness on lockscreen when using a notebook or laptop.

The Simple Mobile Tools collection of Android apps. Forks have been made and are maintained fortunately, but the original autor sold the apps to some company that just adds ads and trackers to the apps to make more money out of it.

I have a good experience with PocketBook.

At least you can still get a functional and minimalist homepage on Firefox by disabling it.

You can do that on Edge too btw.

Interesting to see that vast the majority of the people here use LineageOS.

It’s the more stable and bug-free ROM in my experience.

Limeage OS 21. Not that it would matter that much. Lineage OS does nothing to pass Google SafetNet or Play Integrity by itself.

I am using Google wallet. It works with the Play Integrity Fix Magisk module. You just have to update it from time to time.

Lineage OS 21 (Android 14) on Poco X3 NFC.

Win + V should bring up cliboard history which is basically the same pop-up just on a different tab.

I am using FlorisBoard. The development still seems to be active.

Can’t Python be translated into machine code and packaged into a binary? I swear I have no experience in OS development, just curious.

Will the permissions still be allowable by goinv to the app info page from the settings, clicking the 3 dot menu in the corner and taping to allow restricted settings?

You can just flash NikGapps after flashing the ROM (EDIT: I am not sure if the SONY’s flashing tool will allow you to do such things) to get Google services working. But if you want to pass the Play integrity and SafetyNet checks you will also have to root. It is a bit of a paradox that you have to root to pass these checks (maybe there’s a non-root solution I am not aware of, but I doubt that). For me the Play Integrity Fix Magisk module from chiteroman works well (Lineage OS v21). It just has to be updated once in a while.
