    Yes they are, for all intents and purposes, making it impossible to turn off advanced protection. The only way to install unverified apps will be via developer mode and if you turn that on a bunch of apps refuse to run until you turn it back off

      Well fuck that then. I guess I’m going to have to get a graphene OS put on this mother fucker.

      That’s really too bad because I did appreciate all the other features of advanced protection except for that.

      Presumably, rooted users/custom ROMs should be able to get around this, but how many developers are going to continue to support development and/or release .apk files if it’s only a tiny subset of the userbase they can reach?
