If anyone could point me to some information or guide about this I’d really appreciate that.

I think the official com.android.gsm and friends need to be uninstalled first. I’ve tried that with adb, console reports “success”, Google Play Services is no longer listed in Settings > Apps.

But… if I try to install MicroG via Fdroid or Droid-ify it goes through the install process, there’s no error, but MicroG Core is not shown as “installed”. If I try to install the apk with adb it says the currently installed version is newer than the one I’m trying to install?

microg.org seems to just assume you know how to install.

I read something about signature spoofing but I thought that was only for older devices.

Any insights / suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Edit: I think this is the answer: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-degoogle-any-device-and-install-microg.4058743/

LineageOS support seemed pretty terrible for my device, an s20+.

I’ll have a look at NikGapps, thanks!
