Haha, now this one i can get behind. My feelings towards those two sites is the same.

You can adb pull your desired app apk from the device before installing them in another profile. Then uninstall/reinstall the app from your sgp profile to ensure that all resource files required to run the app are present in the system. You may choose to disable the app in the sgp profile and run it only in the profile where it was installed. App updates will be handled by sgp as normal.

^ Assuming you installed your desired app(s) from sgp in the non-owner profile beforehand...

User2288 You cant rely on fdroid for all your app needs. You will still need apps from the Play library.

Uh-oh... I guess I must be doing my phone all wrong... 🤔

To be serious: using Play Services and the Play Store isn't a contradiction of anything about GrapheneOS, but also not using Play Services is valid too! Or even building apps from source code.

No, but most can not do it like you. I myself am more like you, but that really doesn't work for the average joe. Many people want at least an app or 2 that they HAVE TO get from Play.

Ah yes, freedom, through censorship. What could go wrong?
