microG Services is a free and open-source reimplementation of Google Play Services for Android. It lets apps that depend on proprietary Google APIs run on AOSP-based ROMs without installing Google's proprietary software.
Use cases
- run Google Play apps on LineageOS without GApps
- replace proprietary Google Play Services with a free alternative
- get push notifications via Google Cloud Messaging on a de-Googled phone
- use apps that require Google account authentication on custom ROMs
- enable network location services on AOSP-based systems
- reclaim privacy while keeping Android app compatibility
When to choose
- you run a custom ROM like LineageOS and need Google API compatibility
- you want a privacy-respecting, open-source replacement for Play Services
- you need push notifications and location services without GApps
When to avoid
- your ROM does not support signature spoofing
- you need full fidelity with all proprietary Google Play features
- you are on an official Google-certified Android device with Play Services already
