hi
so, I tried to uninstall all trash from a test account in my Xperia, including Google Play Services...
so uhh
the Play Store icon is still there
I don't like this
hey, at least I can disable it
and I did just that
so uhh
I think I uninstalled the only way to install APKs...?
I guess it's com.google.android.packageinstaller
yeah, on a non-Google Android system it should be com.android.packageinstaller, but maybe Google modified the APK installer?
alright new user
and it SUCCEEDED!?!
LIKE, EVEN THE PLAY SERVICES?!?!?!?!?!?!?
WOW THIS IS A MOOD 
btw the Play Store is actually called com.android.vending
uninstalling that too
this is so forbidden and good it must be lewd
sorry for not CWing
wow lewd
this is what a Google-less unrooted Xperia looks like on first boot
wow lewd
On the left, my regular account, has Google.
On the right, my test account, has no Google.
Now, there's things that are left unanswered for now. Can you uninstall Play Services with an already used account? Can you run adb somehow before the phone boots up for the first time, so you can make sure you have a 100% clean Android session? Can you automate the deletion every time you add an account, particularly with guest accounts? Is there any hidden backdoor I have yet to notice?
This is still amazing though, mind you
can't install microG, guess that if you uninstall Play Services you are opting out of all apps that require it
WhatsApp seems to work without Play Services, I'm not willing to give them a number to try out tho. I do know things such as location should be based on it tho 
Is there any specific Play-only app I should look at?
A cute detail of the Aurora Store is that it tells you whenever apps are GSF (Play Services) dependent or not
Sadly, most Play apps aren't, and most GSF dependent apps will unavoidably crash
@espectalll Icecast runs sightly faster than Firefox
@15F9 I'm not trading a little faster (which isn't even true when compared to nightly Firefox or GeckoView) for an outdated browser version maintained by people who don't even have time for it, honestly
@espectalll well, on new terms, Falkon replaced ffox in my Slackware XFCE machine, runs great with a fake Android UA. I am still with OpenBSD, but Slack is needed for work. At least it runs predictabily well with my MESA slackbuild upgrade from the old OpenBSD release.
@15F9 Hmm, it's QtWebEngine so you're still supporting Google's monopoly and some rather subtle and questionable technical choices, but I guess that's worth not complaining much about 
@15F9 you sure? That's not what the docs say https://wiki.qt.io/QtWebEngine
@espectalll it's not blink, it's webkit.
