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?

Google Play Services or Store? If it's Services, you could make an exception and keep it, because many third party apps need it to work. I kept it and removed all the other Google apps. So they get no ad revenue from me.
