    For people who are die-hard F Droid users, do you get all your apps from it? I have tried in the past but it seemed like even when I restricted my use to basics it was missing things I needed to make my phone feel useful. Wonder if it has gotten better.

      I do, but then there is aurora store on f-droid for the gplay only apps.

        Note it doesn't work very well, and Graphene recommends using Graphene's sandboxed Play Store instead.

          Aurora works fine for me, and Google's software needn't chug along in a background sandbox no matter if all it can do is install apps, ping back to the mothership what your IP address currently is, and act as a proxy for other apps whose direct internet access you try to deny
