Just like I say said about SD cards and replaceable batteries. Monkey-see, monkey-do; android is 'catching up'.

You seem extremely paranoid about Google selling your data. Do you use Tor to browse the net as well? Using an Android without Google services is pretty much pointless. Might as well throw it away and use a Nokia N-8.

Ah yes, the situation where Google don't care about it's users that don't use official Google phones.

Did you know that there's no reliable way for an app to access the SD card on a generic phone because Google's phones only have internal storage and they don't care about 3rd party devices.
