This was a great (open source) app for managing google settings but unfortunately, it's no more. Because Google has removed it from Play Store.
If anyone knows an alternative to it or any other way to get this app to work kindly let me know.

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

Anyone else get the notice from Google Play Review Team about using accessibility services in your app? A lot of apps are set to lose some critical functionality if this happens.

What API level does your application target?
Also, note that other app stores like Samsung and Amazon gain popularity.
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.
Hi guys, I am go to Google Mobile Service Settings on newest Fire HD 2018.
So just I'm going to Android Settings and find the Google Settings is not there. I'm using the Activity Launcher.
1. Download the Activity Launcher from Google Play Store
2. After install. Open the Activity Launcher and select the drop-down All Activities on the top screen.
3. Scroll down and select Google Play Services, find the activity and start com.google.android.gms.app.settings.GoogleSettingsLink or com.google.android.gms.app.settings.GoogleSettingsIALink
See screenshot below:
Did you install the Google Play Store required apps first?
What you are saying is not clear, so I don't know if you tried installing the Google Play Services and Store on the tablet or not. But, there are no Google apps or settings on the Fire tablet at all coming straight from Amazon. So, by default, there is no Google Settings to find.

I think he's trying to explain how he gets into Google settings after installing the services and apps as unlike other Android devices the link to the Google settings isn't in the settings menu.
