Re: [ot][spam] log: trying to take control of my free government phone

the android 11 build has this google thing where, if you use google services framework and the system is not registered with google, it boms you with constant loud popups about that being the case. in order to resolve it, i had to navigate the popups to both register an account with the device, and extract the gsf id, and then log in to google with the same account separately in a web browser, and enter the id at https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/ to use a custom rom officially, then reboot the phone. gsf does not seem to be the way to go. i understand there are existing open source shims started to replace it. they might be very old, not sure. the android 12 build does not do this, so the issue may be resolved for new builds.
