		NewJazz on Jan 10, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: CalyxOS now supports Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro Why should I be concerned with the specific type of signature spoofing used by microg? AIUI it only enables signature spoofing for their specific keys, not applications/publishers generally. What if I do not want to run Google Play Services at all (or any proprietary code from Google)? Can Graphene sandbox microg instead?

It might be able to, but AFAIK microg works by pretending to actually be google services, so it's possible it depends on the system privileges that google services usually has?
