    Imagine actually having Google Play Services on your phone. Unthinkable. I’ll be praying for you guys.

      I’ve never tried MicroG but Android is generally just frustrating without Play Services.

        On my old device I’ve managed to use MicroG and then flash a patched PlayStore. This made Play Services more restricted, and it didn’t run in the background as often as it did. It was cool, but I don’t think this method works anymore
