Do you hate Google Play Services and would rather not install it?
It's a well known fact that Google Play Services is a battery-eating monster, which cannot be tamed in any easy way.
Many prefer to simply get rid of it and forget about it, just like me!
This module is in no way a replacement for Google Play Services!
Some apps show annoying dialogs saying you need to install it, but in reality the app doesn't always require it (Snapchat is a good example).
This module disables the error dialog and notification APIs from Google and replaces them with nothing.
You can find the compatible apps list HERE.
Enjoy Google Play Services-free experience!
Compatible with all Android versions from 2.3 'Gingerbread' to 5.0 'Lollipop'.

Sadly, no. I made this just with Snapchat in mind
But keeping a list of supported apps is a good idea, I'll try to find as many as I can.

I personally uninstalled it and removed all traces of it from my phone.
Because YouTube app doesn't want to work, I installed Viral instead.
What if I installed Google play services, and I wanted to use Location or GPS, would that handle it ?

This module isn't a replacement for Google Play Services (yet?).
However my phone's (XSP) GPS and aGPS works flawlessly without it somehow.
I was thinking of making this module simulate some functions in the API, but those are future plans.
nice idea! but it does not work with gmail? i still get the error message. i wish it could work with gmail and play store.
welp, restored my rom backup for now. still looking forward for future updates
this could be module of the year 2015 if this module can replace play services

First, you remove all updates from Google Play Services.
Then, you can use an app like THIS ONE to remove the system app.
Inbox doesn't work :crying:

Viber is working when I deleted play services though

I'm using pixel experience ROM in my device. Now I'm missing dual app feature. Can I add it in custom ROM. Is there any solution
Hello,
I didn't know about the dual app feature. I'm using Island by @oasisfeng for this usage.
It seems that Island do much more (especially combined with greenify)

You can play Pokemon go in split screen at the same such as join the raid battle in miui room
But other apps like island or ps, one screen will freeze if you are in other screen
Please tell me sir resolution
You can try open source app - Shelter. Download from Play Store. In Shelter you can clone your game from personal to work profile. You can launch game at the same time in both profile on the split screen. How do I uninstall Shelter ?
1) Go to Settings -> Accounts to remove the work profile; 2) Go to Settings -> Security -> Advanced -> Device admin apps to remove Shelter from Device Admin apps; 3) Uninstall Shelter normally

Did you find a way to do so?
I had the same issue, my old mi account was registered with a number I don't use anymore.
I created a new account with the new number and after that, I associated the device.
Hey, is anyone else having problems getting into the assistant settings menu, i'm talking about this menu.
(open assistant > settings and then settings again)

Tried clearing cache and data of both Google and play apps, I also tried the beta channel download same thing, I tap settings it almost like the page pops ups and vanishes within a second, both settings and explore are doing this.

No, that's just the menu we want to access but can't

@B1naryBlaz3 I fixed it with my P20 by disabling and uninstalling Google Play Services via "System Settings -Apps -> Google Play Services -> Deactivate" and then afterwards installing the Google Play Services update again when prompted. This actually fixed a lot of issues I had

Works until I restart the phone again, I also factory reset 4 times yesterday to try and isolate the issue, its definitely something thats part of the default install, everything is fine until it updates the stock stuff and then you restart.

Did you get the handset from cell c ? Trying to figure out how the various operators decide which version they sell, got mine from Telkom if I knew the other version had more internals I would have opted for that, this is what I get for not doing my homework.

This app cannot be installed due to a missing lib (INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY). I guess the app needs the Google Maps API for geo detection. If I'm right it's not enough to just install Google Maps, but you need additional files, which you can only install with root rights (look here).
Of course, they can also be completely different libs
Can I install without root using adb at all?

Damn, I usually always root but as the shield is my tv I have one app that can't be hid with magisk that is a crucial app that I need for catchup TV (All4). I guess there's my choice lol. I might message the magisk dev and see if he can see why this one app still detects root as I know hes updating quite regularly atm

I haven't tried it yet, but with the app "app cloner" you can make copies of installed apps from your phone and change settings of them. It offers the option to inject android shield compatibility and setup your own banner graphic for it. The resulting clone might be unstable though
I have the stock android v8.0 installed and because yt kids is not available in my country I install it manually through an apk. But after being installed for a few minutes the app is removed
I tried turing off play protect and searching the options but I can't find what's removing the app.
Is there a way to stop this from happening in the stock software?

Is it a legit app? If you have some sort of antivirus/security it may get removed if it contains anything untoward.

I tried it, it gave me a very old version. I installed it and the same thing happened.
I took a look at apkmirror. It looks like they have a number of variants depending on the CPU. Which version are you trying to install? This is the CPU based off the specs I found online https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/processors/820 but I don't know how to translate that into which variant you need.

It looks like it has to do with android 8, I tried it on a galaxy j7 prime 2 running oreo and a huawei p20 pro also running oreo, after locking the device for a few minutes it gets removed.
I created a new account using a vpn and set my location to the usa, I was able to install the app, but when i stopped the vpn the app was removed after a few minutes. when I go to the play store I find that the app is disabled and I can re-enable it from there, but it will automatically get disabled again after a while.
I'm going to try to downgrade the tablet to android 7 and try this again.
It seems that its happening to other people too
