      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
