I have play protect disabled. It gets annoying that it randomly asks to re-enable every so often, so I created a Tasker automation to dismiss that popup of it detects it. Doesn’t always work, but it’s better than nothing. Super annoying that you can’t tell Google to stop asking already and no, I don’t want play protect.
I’m testing out grapheneos on another phone, which has all the Google stuff stripped out or sandboxed, so I don’t have to worry about it there.
So no, play protect hasn’t removed my KDE connect app, but it hasn’t been given the opportunity to try.
GrapheneOS has Google Play Services with Play Protect. All you need to do on any Android phone is disable the app permission for reading other app packages or get usage data, using AppOpsX with ADB or AppOpsX with Shizuku. The sandboxing is almost meaningless when app permission control does everything in Android.
