Google Location History

[davidbrady]

I finally got off my arse and I "rooted" my phone which means I now have superuser privileges and I'm able to write open source Android images to my phone. In Android parlance: I flashed a ROM to my phone. I have an HTC One M8 and the ROM I flashed is the LineageOS with MicroG. MicroG implements google push services with signature spoofing. This means I can download apps and get the update messages and whatever else the app needs to run from google services, and I get it indirectly and anonymously via MicroG. MicroG also provides location services so I'm am able to use Mapquest or Here WeGo or similar navigation tools w/o google snooping. My phone is now devoid of google! I'm running pure open source Android - the way God intended! Hurray!

This is what happens when I get pissed off! LOL!
