  • What exactly will happen will depend on what ROM you are using, some stock options may become bricked. If you don’t have google play services a bunch of features will not work such as nearby share, most notifications or apps that require play integrity. MicroG can replicate some of the features, however it only works on systems that support signature spoofing, which most don’t. If you want to improve your android privacy your best option would be a custom ROM. If you have a google device the best option would be GrapheneOS. It has strong security and allows you to install a sandboxed version of Google play. If you don’t have a google device I would look at LineageOS, iodéOS or /e/OS. They support a lot of devices. iodé and /e/ both have MicroG preinstalled while LineageOS has more DIY approach (LineageOS for microG includes it by default).
