On me?
- Kung may nakaka alala pa, isa ako sa mga anti-Google na nagpo post ng alternatives and tutorials dito on how to completely "OWN" your android devices, well this is the exact reason why i hated google, they tend to remove freedom and info sa pamamagitan ng "Security Features" kuno.
On you?
On devs?
on the other hand, this will "somehow" tighten the security, pero honestly, users that know how to install apks and agreed to install from unkown sources have already agreed that "they" (the users) have the full responsibility on whatever happens. So whats the use of locking down our android devices? Do they really intended to take away our freedom? afterall, bayad naman natin and android devices na binibili natin. Whats your idea about this?
Time na ata para umangat ni Huawei...

On you?
- well, di ka na makaka gamit ng mga apps na hindi dumaan kay play store. Basically, lahat ng apps na cracked/patched/modded or unsigned even signed pero walang certificate from google will be blocked
- pwede mo paring i allow ang unverified apps pagkatapos mong halungkatin ang settings at dumaan sa katakot takot na warning dialogs and wait for a day para lang magkaroon ng karapatang mag lagay ng gusto mong external app sa sarili mong phone. and unahan ko na kayo, this is just temporary measure, kasi anytime, pwede nilang tanggalin totally yung "allow unkown apps" sa settings with just an update from Google Play Services (as per google mock ups report)
On devs?
- hindi na ganun ka problematic KUNG you already have a google play dev console account, otherwise, mapu pwersa kayong magpa verify for 1500 pesos with a chance of "Verification Unsuccessful" with no refund HAHA naka ilang beses nako jan and trust me, madugo ang google play dev console
- for freelancers/hobbyists na walang plano magpa verify, limited lang magagawa nyo
