  Or disable/remove them. Don’t even need root for that. There’s always microg if an app really needs them.

    thats an awesome idea! much thanks for the info!

    personal insight preinstall (for ppl reading this):

    • it is always better to use fdroid apps whenever possible.

    i had tried mcroG once upon a time(many years ago). it didnt work for me.
    possible reasons:

    • project may have been less mature than it is today.
    • other. (see below)

    installation:
    github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Installation “Install GmsCore.apk” , “Install GsfProxy.apk”
    “Please review the Prerequisites and Helpful Information before starting installation.”

    github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Prerequisites
    “Your System needs to support signature spoofing, see Signature Spoofing” , “[You need a ROM that supports signature spoofing.]”

    conclusion:
    -need to follow the specific installation instructions.

    • according to the docs… u need a custom rom(distro ie lineageOS on a supported device.)
