So there's those hardware restrictions what claim the app is incompatible with my phone even tho they actually work pretty well with it. Are there any other ways to bypass that restriction than downloading the apk manually from play store. like something with xposed or some modded play store what just shows all the apps available
Hello,
please check this thread:

Hi,
Sometimes when I want to download and install some applications from the play store with my mobile (Huawei Honor2) or with my Tab(Asus TF101) I find this sentence "This Item isn't available in your country" or this "This app is incompatible with all of your device", I understand what does it mean but why the specific app is not available or incompatible while my devices have good technical specifications so is there is any way that I can download Apps that I want from the store without search them as an apk file from the google? Any ideas or do u have any tricks that can climb over this silly requirements from the play store!
Regards.

Its because some apps have put country restrictions for example: Google Voice which works only in US I guess and other apps like Netflix, Movies by Flixster etc. all have this country restrictions. There was an app called "Market Unlocker" which bypasses this restriction, but I believe Google has taken down that app from the Play Store. Anyways some other modes of Market Unlocker methods remains at XDA, which claims to work. Use Google and you'll get the results about it.
Hi,
I am using legacy device and My device does not have enough hardware to handle large processes. I know Google Log in Service app saves Google account and Google play service provides account log in token for Google Play Store. After success of log in Google Play Store will run. MY device is Xperia Ray with unofficial cm11. I want to use Google Play Store without Google Play Service because it really slow my device and I dont like to use its service. I have very less apps which can run without Google Play Service. Is there any way to get this?
Thanks.

If you rooted your device then use "Greenify" (Search on PlayStore) and then Hibernate Google play Service maybe it will help you.
Thread cleaned of warez talk. The alternative app store discussed offers paid apps for free. XDA doesn't condone warez and doesn't allow discussion of them.
Thank you,

Hibernate system app means disable it. I can do it from setting.
Also I have disabled lot of its service. Here I want to completely remove Google Play service.apk from my phone. I don't want other option. Thanks.
I just found yalpstore on fdroid.
This is from their github
What does it do?
Yalp Store lets you download apps from Google Play Store as apk files. It searches for updates of installed apps when it starts and lets you search for other apps. Thats it. Yalp saves downloaded apks to your default download folder so you can later open it in your favorite file manager app and tap each one to install the apps.
Why would I use it?
If you are content with Google Play Store app, you will not need this app.
The point of Yalp Store is to be small and independent from Google Services Framework. As time passed, Google Services Framework and Google Play Store apps grew in size, which made them almost too big for old phones (Nexus One has 150Mb memory available for apps, half of it would be taken by Google apps). Another reason to use Yalp Store is if you frequently flash experimental ROMs. This often breaks gapps and even prevents their reinstallation. In this situation Yalp will still work.
How does it work?
Yalp Store uses the same (protobuf) API the android Play Store app uses. You are going to need a google account to use it. Please, keep in mind that technically Yalp Store violates Android Market Terms of Service (§3.3). In theory, you might get your account disabled by using Yalp Store. Thats why you might want to register a separate gmail account and use it at least once to log in to the Play Store android app on any device.
In practice, though, software like Yalp, Google Play Crawler and Raccoon has been used for years and it seems to be safe.
Yalp Store is derived from the following projects:
https://github.com/Akdeniz/google-play-crawler
https://github.com/onyxbits/Raccoon
Has anyone any experience with this app?
I usually strip Google play from ask my devices except one that I use to get apps I need.
This might be a way to dump Google from that device also.
But I'm not a programmer so I can't audit the code for issues
(Our much more than use netstat to check what apps connect where)
So the more info out there the better

Hey, guys.
I have just rooted my phone and I deleted bloatware and Google Play Store. My reason for this is that I spend WAY too much time online on my phone which I want to limit - therefore I have deleted both the Chrome Browser and Google Play Store (so I can't just go in and download Chrome again) and as stated above some bloatware.
However I have found out that my Gmail and other apps will not work without Google Play Store installed. I even tried to download and install the newest version of Google Play-Services without Play Store and it doesn't work. If I then install Google Play Store and Google Play-Services it all works.
So my question is this: is there a way to have Google Play-Services work without Google Play Store? Some of the apps are kind of important and I can't just replace them with another similar app. My hope is to be able to use all apps without Play Store installed.
Kind regards
Martin

Can't you just download it from APKMirror? So just sideload the apk. Should work, although I haven't tried it.
I already tried that and it only works when I also have Play Store installed :/
I have a weird need. I want google play services but no access to the play store. I discovered thorught that the play services "require" the google play store to be installed for the play services to work. So I wanted to know if their is some sort of fake play store apk that I can install that will allow the play services to work without the play store?
Any other ideas would be appreciated.
I am on a moto e4 qualcomm stock rooted. And I dont have a way to enable signature spoofing since its odexed.
I need the same. Google play services and full functionality with Gmail, Maps etc, without PlayStore. Any ideas?
I found something called "FakeStore", which simulates the existence of Play Store, however I have installed it in replacement of PlayStore, but applications such as Gmail and Notes still do not work, just as if PlayStore did not exist.
I'm still investigating.
More.
The FakeStore needs a patch called "FAKE_PACKAGE_SIGNATURE" to work.
This is the link of that patch, but I can not find a way to implement it, if someone can shed some light it would be appreciated.

Use fake store from MicroG download site.
You can use Aurora Store if you want access to playstore packages without using "Don't be evil".
Need some fake store spoofer to let apps think there is a playstore install for some of thoughs dependent apps that rely so much on daddy. So we can just get on with it.
