+One annoyance is that whenever a OTA update is pushed out to your device, it will remove this library. A [helpful script](https://gist.github.com/rugk/a4c9fa11c5c031faf45602d6bf922a1c) ([and instructions](https://android.stackexchange.com/a/187686)) to workaround this have been provided by [rugk](https://github.com/rugk):
+```
+wget "https://gist.github.com/rugk/a4c9fa11c5c031faf45602d6bf922a1c/raw/eed64cea4d37f5c35cd4ced5ceb0281fef38afc9/95-latinimegoogle.sh"
+sed -i 's/lib\//lib64\//g' 95-latinimegoogle.sh
+adb root
+adb remount
+adb push 95-latinimegoogle.sh /system/addon.d/
+adb shell
+cd /system/addon.d
+chmod +x 95-latinimegoogle.sh
+exit
+adb unroot
+adb reboot
+```
+
+And you should be done.

+* **Edit 2021-02-03:** Add OTA update library preservation section.
