Still a bad joke. If the custom ROMs can’t get past this it’s either dumb-phone or linux phone next. No compromise.

I believe they confirmed uncertified devices will not have these requirements, so technically degoogled Android should still be fine.

You don't get Google services, but then again that's also true of every other alternative.

It's all jumping the gun for now. We'll see where this goes.

That will still significantly hinder the development of third party apps if only a small niche proportion of people can install it.
