tt400 wroteWhile we're on the topic of ROMs, I've always been hesitant to get into it because if I do, I'd want to do it to get away from Google. That means I'll install Android without any Google apps or services. But is Android usable in this form? And how hard is it to get apps? I know there are apk's out there, but not every apk is available on the intertubes. Any experiences?
There are micro and pico (49mb) GAPPS package which you flash and only gives you the Play Store. However, you can always use 1Mobile Market App which is a Google Play Store knockoff. It has most apps. But high risk of Malware.
