Just as a additional point: it is a specific design goal to not require
any google services or non-open libraries for Vespucci. Unluckily that
doesn't mean that you are not completely at the mercy of the goog
anyway, see for example the for all practical purposes deprecation of
all devices with pre-Android 4 OS versions and the likely soon to happen
furtherĀ  dumping of anything lower than 4.4.
