hey, thanks for your replies :slight_smile:
“which OpenGAPPS” is not really an argument, is it? As soon as you install even Pico, you will have the full google-calling-home package (Play Services) – won’t you? That’s where my original question comes from. The only reason I see to go OSOS is to get rid of google.
(+ easy way to get root – anything else?)

You do need it for Signal for example :\

And if you say you install, e.g. WhatsApp from APK – who is doing the push-service for you? (Fairphone?)

Thanks again – more input is very welcome :wink:

ps, also: will you have to do this everytime you update? @freibadschwimmer
