I'm thinking about uninstalling Play services (it's disabled atm) and installing microG but since it's a stock rom there is no signature spoofing.

So what do you guys think? Can it work?

Which ROM are you using? The only one where microG worked for me was LineageOs with microG, so where microG was baked in. I tried numerus times to get the microg installed with a rooted LOS and finally gave up. I am using my phone since 2 yrs now without Google or microG, to plain LineageOS. All the apps I need work just fine but I use only F-Droid apps with Signal taken directly from theit website.

Which ROM are you using?

One UI (degoogled and desamsunged)

Thanks for your detailed response. I use only foss apps as well but Telegram FOSS drains too much battery and leaks memory.

It works ofc but you won't receive notifications like that without Play services
