Reset my phone so I could get the latest version of #LineageOS, and I am again saddened by how poorly an Android phone works without Google Play Services.

Apps crash randomly. "Open source" apps are either missing on F-Droid or their versions are months out of date. There's no way to get either Chromium or Firefox through F-Droid. Yalp Store (Play Store proxy) is the only reasonable solution.

On the bright side: geolocation actually seems to be working this time, for some reason. Huzzah!

@nolan sorry that it is buggy on your phone but I use #android free of #Google for 6 or more years now and I am happy with it. For #Firefox there is #Fennec which is a fork of it
#lineageos . Never used Yalp Store or #microg but heard they do good

@Muto @nolan I've been running LineageOS with MicroG for over a year now on my OnePlus 3, and it's great.
