★★★ Should work on any device with appropriate Android version! ★★★
For now only XS version, planned regularly updated normal version and XL, custom package with additional apps.

Remove Google AppsThis is a magisk module which remove only apps available in stores, so you can easy install any of these app if you like.Requirements:
Magisk v8
Features:
Remove apps list:
- Google Play Books
- Chrome Browser
- Google Drive
- Hangouts
- Google Play Music
- Google Play Newsstand
- Google Photos
- Google Play Games
- Google+
- Google Play Movies
Important:
The best use of module is after clean install rom before google apps get updated.
If you install module on "long used" rom first you must remove update of apps you don't use in "Application manager", because almost all apps have been updated already (stored on /data).

WORKING -Everything 100% & Nanodroid (NanoDroid-microG) works perfectly
Any custom AOSP ROM should work, as long as it supports signature spoofing and as long as it's deodexed.
ROMs WILL NOT WORK
(1) PixysOS doesn't support signature spoofing.
(2) LineageOS doesn't support signature spoofing.
(3) Colt-Enigma doesn't support signature spoofing.
(4) Pixel Experience as GAPPS are included in the ROM & odexed and don't have signature spoofing.
(5) Mi Globe Rom as GAPPS are included in the ROM & odexed and don't have signature spoofing.
(6) RevengeOS as GAPPS are included in the ROM & odexed and don't have signature spoofing.
(7) OMNIROM-UNOFFICIAL Stuck in a log for more than an hour but should have worked if OFFICIAL.
(8) Evolution as GAPPS are included in the ROM & odexed and don't have signature spoofing.
(9) LotusOS as GAPPS are included in the ROM & odexed and don't have signature spoofing.
(10) CrDroid Android doesn't support signature spoofing.
(11) ViperOS doesn't support signature spoofing.
(12) ion-OS as GAPPS are included in the ROM & odexed and don't have signature spoofing.
(13) ZirconiumAosp doesn't support signature spoofing.
(14) Vortex OS as GAPPS are included in the ROM & odexed and don't have signature spoofing.
(15) Android-P Pixel sGSI as GAPPS are included in the ROM & odexed and don't have signature spoofing.
(16) PRISMA-OS doesn't support signature spoofing.
(17) MoKee doesn't support signature spoofing.
(18) Atom-OS doesn't support signature spoofing.
(19) CESIUM OS doesn't support signature spoofing.
So far I have tested Android 10 OS most of them have included Google apps so that's a NO GO Zone, due to Signature spoofing nothing has been working even the Gapps removed. We will find a breakthrough very soon. Stay positive people and keep the fight going.
NOT WORKING

15. Now you should see apps being registered in microG.
16. Now you can install / restore them from a backup as well, but it often doesn't work. The middle ground solution is to install the app with the F-droid / Aurora Store / Yalp Store & then restore its data with Titanium Backup for example.

Aosp Extended, WORKING - Pie -Everything Highly recommended. Nanodroid (NanoDroid-microG) works perfectly.

I've been using lots of different ROMs and depending on Google play service to do the background work, however after reading your simple post, I though to give a try. Its worked fine.
Thanks for the showing me the way that we can be independent from Google.
I was surprised this post hasn't got any attention, even after you have listed YT videos, I do believe people are still sleeping or they they think after installing a custom ROM would save them.
Anyway thanks for your time and hard work.
Ps- i was using XDA for long time and didn't care to login but for this post I though to do so,
Hope this little helps

Follow the step 09 carefully, in two place you have to change
For Havoc-OS
Settings => Havoc Settings ----> System ----> Signature Spoofing.
settings----> Apps & notifications ----> App permissions ------> spoof package signature. -----> click on the 3 dots and check system app for playstore/fakestore.
Otherwise you have to download https://forum.xda-developers.com/asus-zenfone-max-pro-m1/development/rom-havoc-os-t3852830 to download as its works for me.

I don't think Chrome will work as its detoxed, its better to use Firefox or other browser. But I'm using Havoc OS as I download from the list in the post.

I really wanted to move from Google after reading post and what they do, and to be true I didn't try anything to restore from backup. Sorry that I can't help you on that or I don't have any experience regarding it, but that should work fine however as Google Service is removed so that's kind of impossible as well. Anyway why don't you restart or switch off the phone for some time and try it again. Because when my F-Droid didn't get the updates that's what i have done.

Hi, I think it should work as I have tested and used it from yesterday, Please follow the steps carefully as every step very important to make the phone work and perform better, Do not avoid any of it and if you have any problems, please reboot and check back as it should work.

I don't test any google apps as we are trying to move from it, however, is you wanted to check some of the Google apps to work, please go to MicroG Settings ----> Account and login, that will definitely help you a lot to make Google dependance to work.
