Is anyone here daily-driving microg and can share their experiences? https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Implementation-Status does not exactly inspire confidence.

A closer look at e/OS: Murena's privacy-first 'deGoogled' Android alternative
microG itself connects directly to Google: https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Google-Network-Connec...
No shit, of course they do.
>In general, we obviously try to minimize the connections to Google, but some services strictly rely on them and would just not work without.
What exactly do you think they should do instead?

Magic Earth: OSM based map and routing with croud sourced traffic data
Google Play Services implements a lot of increasingly vital features and interfaces on Android. Not having it kills a good number of things people consider important, like push notifications (some apps are designed to still send push notifications like Signal, but it's kind of a hack and does drain the battery). If you're looking for almost the same functionality without google play services, MicroG[1] is an open source implementation of Google Play Services and its' associated components. I don't think it works on GrapheneOS unfortunately, but GrapheneOS already sandboxes all the Google Play Services components, so you should be fine as is. "Normal"/stock Android roms aren't set up the same way however, so you pretty much need either Google Play Services or MicroG for push notifications, location services, etc.

Changing the Android captive portal page
Except /e/OS then throws that out the window because it installs and enables microG by default which immediately connects directly to Google: https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Google-Network-Connec...

MicroG v0.2.28.231657 released (changelog)
I don't know, Marvin isn't always very communicative, but keep in mind that every additional feature means additional work and additional bugs, and Marvin doesn't see to have too much time on his hands to work on MicroG (although it's nice that he seems to have been getting some help lately). Your best bet to obtain what you ask for would be to open an issue for a feature request here; however, there is already a similar request here (so I wouldn't open another) and you can see how it's panning out.

[Theme] Kustom UI with tasker integration. Server monitor, Car Page, Traffic Cams and more!
It would take a lot of time don't get me wrong & it can replace your infotainment center with a touchscreen & a rPi3B running OpenAutoPro but if you look at that feature set in the repo you'll see why it's wayyy better & integrates your android on multiple abstraction layers instead of just bluetooth. Plus the user interface is fully customizable with Qt (all open source)

[Discussion] Android Auto Alternative or Replacements, or Workarounds?
I dunno if this is the proper place to ask about this, but; we already know Android Auto is pretty locked down to Googly's services, and requires their apps for the extra functionality. I'm aware of some progress being made to work around it; someone did get Android Auto Running in MicroG as well as AACS and the wonderful reverse engineered OpenAuto
What are some alternatives?
crankshaft - Crankshaft: A turnkey GNU/Linux solution that transforms a Raspberry Pi to an Android Auto head unit.
MinMicroG - Sources and scripts for MinMicroG installers. You shall find no prebuilt releases here.
FakeGApps - A better approach for microg
opengapps - The main repository of the Open GApps Project
UnifiedNlp - Alternative network location provider for Android, with plugin interface to easily integrate third-party location providers.
