Why does Google bother unlocking boot loaders, or doing anything that helps AOSP? Why have they not gone the way of Apple?

      I have been using CalyxOS without MicroG. What made you go with Graphene. How long have you used it?

          You have the option when you set up your initial profile, to NOT use Micro G and it will not install it on your main profile. So you can rock a fully degoogled phone. Then you can either use Android 15s Private Space or the Work profile and install Micro G in THOSE and then close them when done and go back to a fully degoogled phone.

      • The bootloader locking is one of the main reasons. As well as graphenes isolation is the best in the field. I’ve been using it for 2years now had zero issues except with Amazon prime video but I solved that issue with a self hosted jellyfin instance. I got the sandboxes gplay services on a second profile for 2 or 3 apps that need it.
