If you want to use microG as GMS replacement, it’s impossible to do it without rooting. When application access GMS API, it will check the signature of GMS, so microG need some patch (Some ROM include it, like Lineage OS) or hook (e.g. via Xposed, like FakeGapps module) on system framework to return a fake signature for such a query.
is there any way to set up microg without rooting or unlocking my bootloader? could i do something with shizuku?
my last phone i woulda rooted without a question but i have my reasons to keep this one vanilla (its a samsung)
