MicroG has been picking up steam. They're doing OTA updates of Lineage + MicroG now.

I use this on my Nexus 6P and it's surprisingly great! The only app that I really need that I have problems with is Lyft, but other than that everything I need works smoothly. I get as many apps as I can from F-Droid and use Yalp Store to get the rest. Preferring F-Droid apps also means I have fewer apps that expect Google Play Services.

Up until now I wasn't aware microG was doing their own builds for Lineageos, when did that start? I'm quite happy to see that, it'll help a lot of people. I'd still rather see a world where custom builds aren't necessary.

Not that long ago. I use it on my Nexus 6 (shamu) but I also use yalp to get apps from the play store.

I so desperately want to use MicroG, but keep having to go back to the official framework. The handful of apps I use that rely on Play (Lyft, Transit App, One Bus Away) all insist the Play Framework needs to be updated.
