Hey Lemmy!
I have an app that keeps showing a pop up that it “doesn’t run without Google play services”. It in fact runs just fine, except for the pop up, which is extremely annoying. What are my options for removing it? And, how do apps know that I don’t have Google play services?
extra details
-
I use LineageOS 21 on Android 14
-
the app is the paid version of TripView (installed via Aurora Store)
-
I tried installing microG, but it didn’t remove the pop up—maybe because I haven’t set up the “system spoof signature” option. But even if I do set it up, I’m concerned about:
-
microG running some background services, wasting battery (because the app functions without any extra services)
-
unnecessarily connecting/sending information to Google’s servers
-
edit for clarity:
The “pop up” is an in app widget-like thing, not an Android notification. It looks like this:
it’s not solved yet, but thanks to everyone for your support! :)
That means TripView does not have any notification catagory. If you dont use this application a lot than i suggest you to install it in a separate profiles or work profile.
