Hi everyone! I have a Samsung Galaxy S23 FE US version so I’m forced to stay on stock ROM due to the bootloader not being allowed to be unlocked. I used Shizuku and Canta to DeGoogle my phone over a year ago, and I absolutely love it! my biggest problem, though, is the fact that most apps refuse to launch without Google Play enabled on my device. I really don’t know how to circumvent that, and my work app where i go to see my schedule requires Google Play (for some reason lmfao) to be enabled and I’m tired of using Bluestacks on my PC to check it lol. Is this just a consequence I have to deal with for DeGoogling my phone?
So, I’m not familiar with the Shizuku/Canta method, but would it be possible to install microG [F-droid repo] to spoof the presence of Google Play?
doesn’t that require root? i dont have root access. it won’t install from f-droid either I keep getting an unknown error. i try getting it from github and it can’t be installed due to “conflicting packages” but I don’t have anything that would conflict with it
You’re right, my mistake! I forgot exactly what Shizuku does. Please disregard.
