A few days ago, I was browsing the internet, searching if there is any possible later Android OS for my LG G4 apart from the Android 6.1 (Marshmallow) which was the last officially supported update for the LG G4 for most carriers then I came across several options. From LineageOS to /e/OS with the later being an officially supported ROM and it's also an Android 9; more later than the one from LineageOS.

For me, /e/OS is strange. I've heard a lot about lineageOS. I've even used their ROMs on my previous phones but I'd for once known or experienced /e/OS before so, before I jumped onto using it, I made a little research about the /e/OS. Entering /e/OS on Google search pulled a number of articles about the /e/OS but there was a particular one that actually interests me more because most things I need to learn about /e/OS are actually contained on this page.

By what I have seen about the /e/OS so far, I am already impressed and willing to try the ROM on my phone for a number of reasons but there is a particular concern; how would the experience on an Android without any of Google services feel like?

I mean, without Google Play Store, Maps, Gmail, Drive and the likes. Would such a ROM really make sense?

Has any of you guys used or known about the /e/OS before? Thank you guys.

Not at all.
The phone will be so limited.

NO

Certainly not..

That would be one handicapped device..

Recently tried Gionee s10.. Every other thing was smooth except Google play service.. Nearly gave me high BP.. In short I no fit

never

There are lots of people who has completely removed anything from google in life. Usually, When I use custom roms, I end up not installing the gapps version sometimes as they end up using much resources. in fact, the only Google app I have on my phone is the Playstore and YouTube Vanced.

Sorry. Limited in what sense? I really don't understand that.

It's like you speak my mind. I was actually looking forward to something like that.

All Google core apps are permanently disabled on all my android devices. Contrary to many uninformed opinions, there's no fallback. My phones works more efficiently and more smoothly. I simply use third party store, websites like uptodown or apkpure, or just direct download from websites to update my apps. As a bonus I'm not spied upon by Google. You can use any android without the Google services or store.

This is exactly the reason I am considering the /e/OS but I was worried the OS would underperform. But heck! I was wrong. I have already flashed the ROM on my LG G4.

The battery life of the phone is now excellent and that too, inspite of the fact that with /e/OS, I am now able to run Android 10 on my LG G4.

Several good things about the /e/OS. I am glad I came across the article: /E/OS Is A Complete Android Without A Bit Of Google
