You should do research before spouting nonsense. LineageOS's souce code includes a number of references to Google including:

  • Extensive use of Google's protobuff utility
  • Annotations that Google developers own whole modules of the system
  • References to "use_google_mail"

Specific examples of use of Google services:

  • core/java/andriod/content/Intent.java (line 1366) - the Android system performs text searches through the Google search engine
  • core/java/android/content/ContentResolver.java (line 2967) - a TODO statement recognizing the need to remove references to Google (a TODO is a coding practice of documenting tasks that still need to be completed)

This is all from a cursory evaluation of the OS. I'm not saying that LineageOS is bad, but it's not the answer to a Google-free lifestyle #checkmate

Edit: you can downvote me all you'd like but it doesn't change the fact that you're full of shit #getwrekd

My point is that LineageOS includes features that contact Google's servers.

You challenged me saying that LineageOS doesn't include anything from Google and that a user would have to "put Google back in".

I proved that 1) there are Google features still embedded within the operating system and 2) that there are features that do contact Google servers.

You are wrong on both cases #getwrekd
