Hi - just wondering, With Aurora store showing that cloned apps of the Google play store are possible, has anyone thought about creating a google photos compatible client app?
Not all apps can be cloned! Cloned apps may crash, show errors or work incorrectly. Cloning an app will change its certificate, which means the clone may not work in case the app validates the certificate or uses advanced copy-protection.
App features that depend on the app certificate like Google logins, Google Play Services, Google Play Games, Google Drive backup or in-app purchases WILL NOT WORK!

Those are fair points. By cloned I meant not copied, but developed in parallel - Aurora store is an example of this. It is a Google Play Store client that does not need GMS yet can still access google apps... surely something similar must be possible for Google Photos? There is a definite demand for it in the market

Hi
I do have a problem with Google play's Location.Since I'm in Us ,regardless of changes in location with my Gmail account it still works in Turkish...I changed the gmail account it works fine....Unfortunately all my stuff is on the previous Gmail account.
How do I have to change the location for Google play ?How do I have to change it into U.S?
Allow Google access to location services
Did you allow Google access to location services?
Whenever I travel overseas my homepage which is Google.co.xx
changes to the local country, and the play market get localized as well.
For example I don't have play books in my country but I do get it in the market in certain countries overseas.
It is all done automatically by Google without any specific action on my part, not on gmail or in play store.
I believe its all due to Google access to location services?
Google Play services start constantly, is greenifying safe? I don't use the app auto-update feature, but account syncing (contacts) is important. I won't remove the wake-up path yet.
I also greenified Google Play Store.
I was unable to make in-app purchases (I had to degreenify), so some issues appear.

It's useless, there are many wakelocks attached to it, when you try to cut it, Google play force close
Hi guys,
i try to keep my phone free from google apps but due to requirements of some apps this is not 100% possible. some apps require at least google maps framework. one does not need to install gapps for that. instead you can just copy 2 files to your system (https://sdgsystems.com/blog/installing-google-maps-framework-aosp-android).
i was wondering, if there is a similar possibility to install google location services. again, this is a requirement of some apps like geohash droid. if there is none, i am willing to install google play services, but can anyone explain to me what this software/app does? does it connect to google / phone home / whatever? do i have to register an gmail account in order to activate it?
Thnx

Hi All,
When I purchased my huawei p40 pro, I was digging in the forum and found some ways to install GMS. However the method I have used is not flawless, (I used this one) and I am starting to lose it. I wonder if there is any better option currenty which would solve the issues I am having :
- Can't run programs because of no Google security service e.g. Company programs, Mc Donalds
- Can't have push notifications of some programs like Discord, Gmail
- Can't have NFC feature for some programs e.g. Simple app.
- Can't add new google accounts to the device.
- Some other programs are just not starting properly, they close instantly or don't go further than loading screen.
Every help is appreciated.
Maybe you can try GSpace which is an APP container.

GMS ( read: Google Mobile Services ) is a basket of apps developed and copyrighted by Google. These apps require additional Google apps / services to get installed before to properly work, as these are: Google Account Manager, Google Servives Framework, Google Play Services, Google Play Store. The first three apps handle basic account services and add APIs, while the last app is the store itself.
I am generally concerned about privacy.
Along these lines...
Is there any tool, websibte, app, etc., that allows for filtering Google Play Store apps by either excluded or included permissions?
The option of filtering different app versions is a plus, as permissions may change across versions.
I found a few, limited alternatives.
What do you mean with Google Play apps? GMS? Google Play services? Google Play Store apps?
