It will not work, I already tried it without signature spoofing.
IIRC, you should patch system's services.jar, otherwise micro g will be installed, but won't 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.
wouldnt aurora store / you downloading the xapk file from a browser work?
It works ofc but you won't receive notifications like that without Play services
You could patch your ROM to add signature spoofing with Nanodroid's patcher. I had success with it on my Redmi Note 8 back when I used stock LineageOS.
It may not be supported on your phone/Android version though. Also make sure to read the important parts of Nanodroid's README if you plan on using it to install microG too. Ask me if you need any help with the process!
