[Q] Play Store without Google Apps

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.

A lot of apps has been removed from PlayStore or they will be never available on PlayStore, simply because google dont want them.
Look at NewPipe that is a simple Youtube client that allow you to download music, videos or streaming directly from youtube... It's not available on PlayStore but only on FDroid or Github. It does not contain malware it is opensource too .
This is just an example, Adaway is another example, ecc. There are a lot of apps that you cant find but this dont mean that all these apps are malware.
Simply there are rules, google is the owner of its store so it makes its decisions

Going to get the P40 pro but GMS still possible? and some other detail of the phones.

Hi, i think i am going to get the P40 pro once it is out
however, i have been using google services app for so long, the google drive, google map and google photo, google pay(and i am paying monthly too).
My most concern is i still want my photos to be automatically backup to the google photo, means that i need to get the GMS working.
Can i do so with the new P40 pro? I mean not rooting the device can i still get GMS working?
secondly, Google pay, is it already a fact that even if i can get GMS working, i still cannot use Google pay in Huawei phones?
Any body knows the touch sample rate of the phone? I see Xiaomi 10 pro has 180hz, Oppo Find x2 pro has 240hz, but P40 pro didn't mention this during the announcement.
Secondly, same thing happened to my old Huawei Mate 20 pro and Sony Xperia 1. when i move my fingers during the game (ex. pubg), my fingers have to travel long enough for it to detect movement. So during sniper time it is a nightmare. (my iphone 10 and Samsung S9+ are doing perfect in this area)
Yes Google pay will never work as the phone is not certified by Google. I have the P40 Pro in my hands.

Loaned to me from Huawei for review.
It works , literally just saw Ben gadgets review with it working no issues
i saw Ben's review too, but he said he has to hack the phone.
i don't know what that means by hacking the phone... seems kinda risky

I wouldn't bother with a phone with no GMS even if you can side load. It won't be the same as integrated Google

Android auto works fine if you install GMS correctly. The only thing that isn't working for me is Google pay and my banking app.

Can I install microG along with GMS?

Hi guys
I just got huawei p40 pro today and installed GMS manually. My discord doesn't produce any notifications. Can I install microG alongside GMS to get it working?
Thanks
i think you have to icebox your GMS to get notifications .. search some other threads here

Yes you can.
When I got my P40 Pro I installed Micro-G just for YouTube Vanced. A week later I decided to install GMS and kept the Micro-G on the device. No issues found after combining Micro-G with GMS whatsoever.
BTW I didn't try to install the official YouTube app as I'm more satisfied with Vanced.
Does Micro-G help purely for notifications or could it help apps that require Google services to work?

No, Micro-G will not allow you to run Google-Dependant apps. You need to install GMS for that. Which is very easy in case you are curious.
I can't install microG, it says I already have the latest version. The only thing I did was installing Google services and play store.
What should I do to get push notifications working? My banking app relies on firebase ?

For the Micro-G issues I honestly don't know. For me I installed Micro-G first and then GMS. But I remember when I tried to install YouTube Vanced it didnt run, meaning that Micro-G installation was not successful. I seached the web and the solution was deleting Mkcro-G and then installing SAI (Split APKs Installer) from APK-Pure and then re-installing Micro-G. Then YouTube Vanced worked so I know now that Micro-G is working fine. ----> try this it may work.
For your second issue about the push notifications, Firebase is a Google-Cloud massaging service. And it will have the same problem as other Google push notifications such as Gmail. There is a solution on xda I previously read but I can't find the thread. Try searching it.

Options:
HMS-naked (broken notifications on heaps of apps even Huawei App Gallery)
HMS+microG (for notifications with google firebase cloud messaging)
HMS+GMS (notifications broken)
HMS+GMS+icebox (freeze google play store as required for notifications and unfreeze intermittently for updating apps)
I think it is called icebox (just from memory .. or something similar) .. just search in the recent threads and you will find the process to freeze & unfreeze GMS to get notifications working.
This is awesome explanation. Thank you so much, I will have a look tonight
I just found out icebox requires all my account to be removed first. I will wait this weekend first
My understanding is
1. Install Icebox before you put anything. It requires ADB and you need to remove your Google Accounts beforehand.
2. Install GMS
3. Disable GMS with Icebox
4. Install MicroG
5. Install all the apps that you want. Make sure you have microG first before installing apps

can you post the link to this new process?
are you developing something new .. i have never heard of this combination before ...
HMS+GMS+Icebox+microG
why install microG if you are using GMS+Icebox? the purpose of Icebox is to give notifications, then you dont need microG.
if you really want the google play store, I really wouldn't bother with the P40 Pro.

No I'm not developing anything new ? I'm trying to get the best of both worlds.
This GMS installation mod seems to be using microG underneath bcuz I got the message from the official microG app that my microG is already the latest version. I got the Vanced microG version installed without any need for icebox. But push notifications still doesn't work.

I haven't read of anyone successful achieving this before... Are you planning to rewrite some code of microG or can you solve with installation techniques?
If you have time to spare, then good luck trying

but why wouldn't you just say what the solution is? as you just said the solution above ... i.e. either (1) install microG or (2) freeze GMS
were you only talking about microG for youtube vanced? I think the other guy is talking about a microG install for google firebase cloud messaging .. so you're both mixed up trying to solve different problems.

OK sorry.
All good guys. Thanks, yeah MicroG vanced version didn't help me with my push notification issue.
but linux2525 pointed me to the right direction
1. HMS + GMS + Icebox. <-- At least I got my Banking app working now with Google Push notification. I think the next time I reset my PC, I would go with HMS + MicroG instead. I dont play games and mostly just Youtube, Spotify and Instagram only.
Also my whatsapp Google Drive backup still working with this combination *I'm backing up 3GB to my drive

Interesting, I'm looking at installing GMS as I have a variety of apps that won't work without Google. What makes you say you'd go without GMS next time? Are notifications working well across apss for you with Icebox?

just out of interest .. which apps were those? i am curious to test on my p40 pro.
YouTube Music (technically works but can't seem to add an account)
The Atheltic
Paddy Power
Betfair
eBay
There were some others as well but can't think off the top of my head. Some of those I can use the websites instead of apps but often they aren't as user friendly.
YTMusic .. works great on firefox preview .. except a major problem .. cannot download.
eBay is not great in browser

Unrooting after installing Google services

Hi everyone!
I installed the Google services on my p40pro, here come the question: many apps (like Google Pay) can't be run because the phone is identified like rooted/modded. Is there any chance to fix this? Lz Play is meant to enable a kind of rooting mode?
Thank you
Max

It's not root, It's actually the lack of safetynet.
Removing LzPlay Doesn't help.
Why did you need to install GMS?..

GMS is kinda hard to give up TBH.
Paid apps from Playstore.
Purchasing PUBG UC
Convenient Notifications
Contacts with groups
Faster Email (Gmail Native app)
Google Maps with saved places, offline maps
