    It implies that MicroG (com.mgoogle.android.gms) is still installed. Have a look into the Safe folder. Optionally, you might diagnose that with this app named AppManager. Uninstall that & reinstall whatever or whoever's MicroG you like. Personally, I'll suggest you to use mMicroG

  • Bloatware remover for Android?

    Adb is enough to remove bloatware without root. Appmanager is good and recently added debloater too. https://github.com/MuntashirAkon/AppManager . You only need WiFi for app to work with adb.

    The rest is from App Manager: https://github.com/MuntashirAkon/AppManager to check app information. I mainly use it to check if the app uses any tracking library (here the app uses google analytics and firebase analytics) or permissions, activities...

  • I'm not that big a user of termux. Description in comments.

    This is the absolute best app for debloating along with a plethora of useful features. It's open source and available on GitHub. I'll include the link. It can be started via adb wireless or you can use Termux and set the port to 5555 (Which I personally prefer) and as long as debugging is switched on you can use it without a WiFi connection until you reboot. At that point you'll have to repeat the process. You can install split apks and set tht installer app to com.android.vending so side loaded apps are still perceived as being installed from the Google Play store. You can also downgrade apps without having the first uninstall the newer version. honestly it's probably the most amazing app I've ever seen especially if you have root but what it can do with ADB alone is very impressive.
