And I have zero gapps there, not even google account, no whatsapp (just telegram, that works unlike those sailfish versions). There's F-droid, there's Aptoide, there's Apkpure, there's even a way to use google play store without account if none of the above doesnt do. There's "plugn a play" free working navigation solutions. There's Via browser that is 736827 better than sailfish one. Bottom line is, android can be used without google just fine if one does not use/need google in the first place. |

Re: Eelo OS : the Non- Googlized Android Alternative.
Lack of playstore is the easiest thing to come around. The only real issue is if you need something that simply doesn't work without play services. While a lot of apps will say that the device does not have them they will still work just fine. But some just won't work.
The second issue is if you need some kind of car integration. While basic stuff like phone/contacts/A2DP work just fine in AOSP and problem is usually on a car side. mirrorlink is not avalilable on custom ROMs. But it's not there in sailfish so... |

Regardless of other things, maybe it is still better than sailfish, but it's not usable as normal android with all the things out-of-box. Not that I'm fan of android, but this is most usable OS after maemo's death :( |
Re: Eelo OS : the Non- Googlized Android Alternative.
Nearly all the native "OS"s in China are android without Google, because Google was blocked in China. So what's the difference between them? They are still Android.
Or what's the difference between this and Lineage without GApps? Too many Android varients already. |

What I found about eelo. Apparently they're not as great as they claim to be. |
