So it's possible to run it without signing up. Thats good news. All the reviews seem to say it's a requirement for the initial set up
Are there any special steps to get your set up? I imagine you need to side load your apps because the play store won't work, but is there anything else?
Run it? Absolutely. Set it up? Unlikely, unless you go the LineageOS route.
I bought a shield pro last year and never once logged in to google during setup or any time after.
See? Unlikely, not impossible. I've never tried. I just chose to remove Google from my life, that thing used Google accounts, gone!
I’ve never used a google account on it. That’s the point.
It is not necessary to be in the google ecosystem to use the shield (pro) to its full capabilities.
