PicsArt is a very good photo editing app, I feel its features and editing effects are very professional, I've been its user for quite a while but I don't know the origin of this app, recently I see quite a lot of people asking about this, they are asking it from China?
Can anyone give the correct answer?

Why are you bumping an old post?

Some of us do not install G**gle apps (incl Play). We use instead F-Droid and APKPure.
But some apps insist that they require Play... it's not a technical requirement, just one they throw in there, but it's a real problem as I am not going to install Play just for that.
Does anyone know of a Play 'placeholder' or 'simulator' which will satisfy this specious requirement? Or has anyone decompiled an app to remove this requirement?
Recommendations?

Shouldn't you make a thread in another place?

Apparently you haven't actually tried this. There is very little depth of knowledge about things Android, in general. We are fortunate here to have a competent dev and some competent users. This is rare.
It is unusual to not be at all dependent on G**gle, and I am happy to help with what I know about freeing yourself completely. But there are some catches, and the question I'm asking is the last one for me.
I can probably figure it out for myself, but when forced to do that I am not as inclined to share if sharing (or even trying) is not part of the ethos..
So can we can, or can we can't? :cyclops:

Try MicroG. Your purpose will be solved without installing any GAPPS.

Always share helpful info.
I believe the response the person made was a legit argument basically being made to help direct you to find a better place with much higher odds of getting an answer (looks like you got it tho).
But that doesn't mean you can't ask or can't share. It's all up to you. Sharing knowledge is the foundation this forum has thrived in. Personally I hope nothing defers anyone to question that regardless of any responses made or not made.
And yes, this is an excellent dev. But he's here to help primarily with his area of expertise, which according to the thread title is with Havoc issues. He can't be relied upon to answer non ROM questions (yet he probably would if he knew).
@Quantumstate,
I had to move your question and the corresponding answers to a specific thread (your thread now) to "Android Development and Hacking Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" because the thread where you posted initially was not the best place to ask.
I have named the thread "How to get rid of Playstore requirement for some apps?" because I had to fill a subject (is mandatory) but feel free to edit the title yourself if it's not OK for you.
Also, I suggest you to read THIS THREAD by @Oswald Boelcke, you could eventually find some clues there. If not maybe Oswald Boelcke or any other members (developers or not) here should be able to help you in this new Q&A thread
Thanks for understanding

@Quantumstate I just realised that @Wood Man pinged me and pointed you to my thread. Feel free to ask me in my thread or certainly here whatever you want to know. But I assume you first have a lot of reading ahead.
Additionally to my thread, I'd like to drag your attention to some more XDA threads in this context. In these threads are also links to Github/Gitlab including excellent tutorials. If you want you'll be able to leave Google services or requirements in many although not all cases behind; however, it also depends of the ROM(s) you use. This means if you commence a discussion please also provide insight into details of your device, system and configuration.

Last remark: On none of our devices, any Google service or application is installed. But all of our application run fine without and by the use of µG instead. The very few application, from which I expect push notifications, do receive them on time via GCM/FCM.
The one and only Google application, which I've installed, is the Google Play Store modified by Setalphia, the developer of above linked NanoDroid. It allows me easy access and updates of my applications purchased on Google PS respectively to conduct in-app purchases that I mainly do in order to support a good development and developer unless the developer offers different means of donation.
I knew we could count on you Oswald :highfive:

I did the same in post #2 where I quoted you.
My Windows 10 PC recently updated to Windows 11, but after updating I am unable to use File Sharing option since it is not working. Could anyone please help me solve this problem? I can't remember what I did in Windows 10 to make it work.
After posting this issue here, I searched through the internet, found a few articles that described this issue. After reading this article, I remembered what I had done in Windows 10 days. I re-enabled file sharing with the help of this article, and now I am able to share files without any hiccups.

The article you are referencing is giving you a very bad advice: "enable SMBv1 support". It is an old protocol, very insecure - that is why it is disabled in any new installations by default.
If you still need help fixing this issue, I might be able to help - contact me on Telegram: {Mod edit}

Hey XDA
There's this communications app that I like the functionality of. I would like to use the app as a template to make my own. I am more of an artist than a coder though if there was a way to see how the code works in reference to the actual app I think I could do my research and close the gaps in my development knowledge. Can anyone with more experience point me in the direction of a way to import an existing apk and observe how the code works in tandem with the graphics?

Hello and good morning, @honeyxlemon Welcome to XDA! I hope you'll always get the support your require.
I've moved this thread out of Android Apps & Games, for which it didn't qualify, but also closed the thread as duplicate of
Decompiling an app and editing its graphics and functionality.

I have noticed that with the continuous updates, there are microlag problems, slowdowns and more rare problems that ruin the android experience..
In view of this, I spent a lot of time developing a magisk module that improves everyone's experience without compromise, and I succeeded, I thought I'd publish my project to offer everyone the possibility of having an excellent experience also on Android
I created a telegram channel where I post every update and change log of the project, of course I also accept criticism and advice!
