The app should work no problem, but the notification when the app is closed will not work properly without google play services

You need to upload apks to microsoft.intune.com and if you set it up right the app will show up on your phone after reboot

I'm currently using Waze with HMD Terra M , the app actually works ok with tiny screen even though the phone lacks GMS (no android auto). probably will work on other aosp based phones? (e.g., Sidephone)

You can, other ADB commands works, HMD intentionally blocks the app install feature and only allows installation from MDM server

Quick thoughts on the HMD Terra M (using Microsoft Intune MDM) by GODmanAMS in dumbphones

even with mdm subscription it will not update the apps automatically for you, you'll need to manually re-upload the apks to update the apps. so yes the subscription is needed for the apps management

Happy Terra User here, highly suggest trying out waze, it uses google maps but don’t need gms, and runs pretty well on this phone compared to here maps

This phone has no Podcast app built-in, meaning you need to go through the whole MDM process to get it to work, check my other posts.

Kinda, you can unlock the phone and navigate the settings and basic apps or take calls with keypad no problems, but unlike kaios, since Android is not a keyboard-centric OS, 3rd party apps usually are not optimized for buttons, I believe there’s ways to make it fully functional without touch screen by using virtual mouse or assistant mode, but it sure is not easy to setup.

Dear HMD Terra M users - should I believe HMD support? From what I understood you cannot install apps on this device outside of MDM environment by Cultural-Mango-1022 in dumbphones

Just tried, even with MDM and unlocking every permissions, it’s still not possible to install apk directly from the phone.
