You're never gonna catch me alive! *installs custom rom*
If only custom roms was available for any phone tho. :c
Like, I had to buy new phone two years ago, cause my previous phone was falling apart (literally, I had to reglue the screen) and the only good option that was on the market without annoying notch for front-facing camera - was nubia z70. No notch, no weird "eyebrow", nothing. Just screen, as it fucking supposed to be. Long story short, it have pretty fast snapdragon, but there no roms cause of that. Plus bootloader straight up locked from the factory and afaik, there no way to unlock it easily.
Oh, right. I thought YouTube did something, but... yes, the sadness that is Google.
Am I safe if I don't update Google Play Services?
That was my solution. You can freeze google services on your phone to stop the updates but then you have to choose between the functionality of many apps you got from the store and all the ones you did not.
However Google has relented by allowing provisions for a sort of "dev mode" like you have on all android phones where you just have to do some esoteric bullshit to opt back in to installing from other sources. For now, anyway. You know how they are.
