Trail-Sense VS AuroraStore

Not sure if this is what you are looking for

Trail Sense

I didn't see FairEmail mentioned yet https://email.faircode.eu/ and also the TrailSense multitool https://github.com/kylecorry31/Trail-Sense is one of my favorites. Plus I prefer AdAway over AdGuard.

I think trail sense on fdroid can do this, also has compass, metal detector, and other tools that can be useful for camping/hiking. https://github.com/kylecorry31/Trail-Sense

Trail Sense (version 4.6.0): Use your phone's sensors to assist with wilderness treks

Monochromatic, Phyphox, Quicktiles, RadioDroid, TrailSense

So many apps single apps, most of which you could delete and safe spaceif you were to use Trail-Sense

so, disable this bloat and replace it with, AuroraStore. or not.

Aurora Store (version 4.3.4): An unofficial FOSS client to Google Play with an elegant design and privacy

Aurora Store (version 4.2.5): An open-source alternative to Google Play Store with privacy and modern design

Good option, yes! Maybe something like Aurora Store could also be used to spoof a different (x86) device? https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraStore

AuroraStore

Android devices could push something like https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraStore or even F-Droid to get a preinstalled store that's not completely evil.

For Linux devices, if you have a powerful enough phone (Pine64, can we please have a really beefy PinePhone?), you could bundle Waydroid + Aurora/F-Droid.

Go to this link and download AuroraStore_4.2.3.apk, an open source client that fetches files directly from the Play Store servers. Here is an FAQ for the project if you're worried about safety or breaking Google ToS. This method is safe but you can choose to create a new Google account for the login if you're not comfortable using your main account.
