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?
Is there a way you can install Google Play as a user app? Maybe in a second profile? Just a matter of switching to the second profile when you want to check your schedule.
If a second profile isn’t an option, GP could be disabled until you need it.
I can’t say what’s involved in doing this but it must be possible as GrapheneOS does this.
i can look into it! i haven’t thought about a second profile. thanks!
You’re welcome. Fingers crossed.
i just set up my 2nd profile using Island from f-droid and this is amazing! thank you!
my apps work under the 2nd profile and it only needs google play store enabled and I just download my apps from aurora store. :-)
Glad it worked out.
