    Can Linux phones run normal apps from Android with this?

    Games are great and all about having cross-platform abilities to run stuff makes a massive difference.

      From the gitlab front page:

      Lepton disables various Android services that are not required to run games possibly breaking compatibility with some applications.

      It is probably possible, but just as using Proton to run MS Office is a real bear to configure, this tool is also pretty specific in application and environment.

        Note my reply is not an answer, just more questions.

        I would assume it mainly talks about the Google services, that are also disabled by alternative Android versions like e/OS (fork of LineageOS). But they come with an Open Source service implementation microG, to be somewhat compatible, but it doesn’t guarantee 100% compatibility. Sooo, does Leptop disable those Google services without a replacement? Can it use microG?
