You can installed Google Play Services if you choose, and it’ll run sandboxed (i.e. like any other app). I personally don’t use Google Play at all on my main profile, and I have a dedicated profile for when I do need it.
That said, some apps just won’t work regardless, like some banking apps (it’ll fail the bootloader check). But everything I need works, and I have mostly replaced the Google-specific apps w/ alternatives (e.g. Organic Maps instead of Google Maps). My car isn’t new enough to support Android Auto, so I have no experience with any limitations there.
Is dual booting possible? I’d love a Google boot for when maps/pay/etc are needed, then switch back for the rest
Google Maps works just fine on GrapheneOS, the only thing that doesn’t work is GPay.
I meant Android auto 🫠
Works fine in GrapheneOS…
Nice! I didn’t know play services worked (I’m asking genuinely), and therefore pay and auto and some other pure Google stuff didn’t work

I think those should work, but if you’re entirely degoogled, maybe running a container would work?
You can use different user profiles in Graphene for this purpose.
Thank you I’ll read about this.
