yeah i know, but for me basically everything just about works. Banking apps included. They just install as normal thanks to Android App Support and work just fine. I dont even need microG for anything 🥳 About the closed source bits -> this is true. Parts of lipstick are not opensource, but i think its fine in that case. they are opensourcing the whole stack bit by bit though. Jolla isnt a big corpo either with 50ppl and I think there are more important things with the OS that need attention.
That's how Google sneaked in with open source clothing.
