Installing microG on Sailfish OS

When is a AppSupport installation “modified”?

To be more precise, when “removing” AAS as instructed in the help artickle, do i have to remove all android apps, or is it only most important to uninstall some very specific apps/packages so that these are overwritten when reinstalling AAS?

Clean removal, Step 2:
2) Uninstall your Android apps installed from other app stores

Or is it most crucial to follow not just the clean removal but the brutal way removal with:

  1. Run the following commands in the Terminal. Note that they remove all of your installed Android apps and their data, too, in addition to AppSupport.
# Sailfish OS version 5 and higher
devel-su
rm -rf /home/.appsupport
rm -rf /home/appsupport-root
rm -rf /home/defaultuser/android_storage
reboot

I would prefere to only remove the parts that are really necessary. :wink:
