I was wondering when this would come. Even popped open DuckDuckGo and searched for Android news, yet this completely escaped the radar.

I've already removed the verifier and safetycore apps and installed stubs in their place. I also already had Shizuko and now I have gained root access on top of it without unlocking the bootloader.

Google may fuck themselves.

    If you are going this far why not Graphene or CalyxOS? Genuine interest...

    Because I have access to neither on my Xiaomi phone. I do have access to other custom ROMs though but unlocking the bootloader will wipe my data. As soon as I'm ready, I'm considering LineageOS or any of the other available ROMs.

    Is this a good solution doing what you describe? I might need to try it on my wife's Pixel 9 w/stock OS.

    I have not used this particular repo but from what I read, it does what it should be doing, replace the real hidden apps with placeholder stubs that have version 2000000 or something to that effect. You should be good with this one. Make sure to read all of the readme carefully, particularly the uninstall methods.
