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 :/

Hello,
I am thinking to install Cyanogen without the Google Apps. I would like to know if it is possible to have the play store (and so install application from the play store) without the Google Apps?
Kind regards

I'm not sure that's possible. you need to be signed in to a Google account to use play store, which requires Gapps.
You can try an alternate market instead.

Did you just do any modding? New ROM, etc?
Or make any other changes, or did Google Play just randomly stop after working?
If you're phone is rooted have you tried re-installing GAPPs?
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.
Every time I've tried I get constant crashing, even before I open the app.
How are you trying to achieve this? Are you installing it with a GApps package or what?
I don't know what GApps is, I was just trying to install the 4 APKs.
Google Account Manager
Google Services Framework
Google Play services
Google Play Store
Did Gapps work for you?
Sorry for the necro post, but aurora store works for the most part.
So the Fire Toolbox ain't working right on the newest firmware 7.3.2.2, among other things broken, I couldn't install the Play Store. Here's how to do it manually.
Download Google Acct Mtg
then DL Google Services Framework
and Google Play Services
Finally Google Play Store
You can install it in the same exact order as above, that way after the Play Store installs, you have the option to open it, and login with your credentials and Then Knock yourself out installing whatever you want!

Works like a charm. Be sure to use the variants for Android 9+
link to Google Play Store above is wrong.

Google Play Store

Hi there, sorry for posting on a slightly older thread. I recently managed to get this working an a friend's HD Fire 10 (2021)... Does anyone know how to get offline navigation to work through Google Maps? I managed to install Maps and it works perfectly while online but as soon as Wifi is rurned off, GPS is lost and I cannot use Maps to navigate. I can only view the steps from "Point A" to "Point B".
Any help would be appreciated.
