Other ROMs don't have Sandbox.
What is Sandboxed Play Services? I've searched for it but I seem to find contradictory information. Looks like a feature that needs to be added explicitly to a ROM by its devs? It seems to have originated with GrapheneOS but there's no mainstream support, in LineageOS for example.
All I know is that its a feature of GrapheneOS, and is the main reason why I switched over to it.
Oh that's interesting. So basically it's just Google apps running in userspace as opposed to system apps, and subject to any restriction you can throw at user apps? I imagine that Xprivacy would work too in that case.
