I have a samsung A22 which is not supported by any of the foss roms i would like to try, so i started to debloat my phone and logout from google, removing as much propietary software as i can from my phone and replacing by foss alternatives. The only thintg i didnt manage to do is removing google services as i live in a country where foss options of maps apps doesnt work very well unfortunately so I have to stick with google maps. I tried Gmaps WV but it still needs google play services to work. I also added the micro G repository but I cant see the option to install it, is it possible?

    Yes its possible. Just follow the official installation guide. You’ll need to remove any google service of the phone

      It’s possible to install in stock rom? Without signature spoofing it can work?

        Nope, except if you root with magisk, there is a module that takes care of it for you, complete with spoofing.

      Its weird because i tried installing them using the repository and it does not let me install them, i tried downloading the apk as suggested in the guide, but it says it wont install it because the package is not valid

        Weird. Are you using F-Droid? I’ve download mine using the F-Droid repo. Worked like a charm. Maybe you’ve got a different version installed or something?
