How to remove Google Play services dependencies with Lucky Patcher [but not Snapchat]

Curious if solution works for apps below:
Google Chrome for Android (& which versions)
Google Maps,


? BlackBerry Z30 ? If it Don't Make Dollars, It don't Make Sense ?

We did some serious testing on some patched apk's (thanks again, Sally), but still there are chances that I missed some special cases, as byte patching is different in many ways to patching smali code.

Just try to patch your app and report back if it doesn't work. I'll will then look into it. As Sally stated correctly, this will not make any apps run that didn't work after patching with GMAPS Patcher, especially if it requires to login to Google+ or similar.

Google Chrome doesn't have to be patched, it works just great on OS 10.3. Google Maps also must not be patched. It works out of the box.

Anyone tried it out with 10.2.1??

Yes, it supports Google Maps API v2 if you have installed the patched Google Play Services from the first post.

I know the system requirements mentions 10.3 but I gave Life360 a shot on a Z30 STA100-3 10.2.1.2126. It patched successfully and runs the app although Google maps still doesn't show. It is grayed out initially and you can even see "google" in the lower left but eventually shows a blank beige area where the map should be. Am I able to adjust the settings in Lucky Patcher and attempt a patch without decompile resources?

Did you install Google Play services? On my device Life360 works just fine.

What happens under the hood is that the installation fails and something wonky happens with the app, where it won't open properly after until you do a full uninstall then reinstall. This is especially important for users of snap to take note of.

So if I downloaded my apks through Snap then I shouldn't use this patcher, but if I did from amazon or 1mobile I can?

Just trying to clarify. Thanks.

If you download an apk from Snap, the procedure is as follows:

1. Download and install the app via Snap (this step is required to get a copy of the apk, check settings in Snap to see where the apk file will be saved)
2. Uninstall the app (important!)
3. Patch the app with Lucky Patcher
4. Install the patched app (it is in on your device in folder misc/android/luckypatcher/modified)

That's it.

Cobalt232, Thanks for Lucky Patcher !!! This is great.

Yes. I installed the Google Play Services 5.0.84. After failing that I uninstalled and tried the 5.0.81 version. The 5.0.81 version kept giving me errors that the services had stopped. The 5.0.84 version seemed fine in that respect.

Which of the four options after selecting rebuild is it supposed to be? The ad removing doesn't seem to work.

Posted via CB10

It't the first option (custom patch).

OK I tried the custom patching and it takes a while. Can I still try to remove ads after patching?

Yes. I went back to that version but still unable to get the maps to come up. I'm on 10.2.1 so maybe that's the hangup.

Cobalt232, I patched my legally purchased Tom Tom app downloaded from Snap using the custom patch and I still get the "Network connection" error message.... Maybe it is bk Google services is not the problem. Also, tried patching the licence and I get the same error message.

Any ideas?

Note: Anyone knows if Xposed Framework works on BB10?

Oops, sorry. Just realized that wasn't directed to my previous comment. Feel even sillier than usual now.

in 10.3 still have network connection errors when play services are installed with apps like YouTube, maps ,when GooglePS are uninstalled app like Yelp stop working so still d�pends on apps needed by users

Could you folks check Boston metro cab? Followed instructions and the app starts but when I try to book a cab it opens Google maps then says, "unfortunately, metro cab has stopped"
I'm on 10.2.1 on a z30 and have gmap 8.1.1

I can now confirm that Life360 is working on 10.2.1.2126! All I did was uninstall and begin the process over so I'm not sure what difference or error I made the first go round. Thanks Cobalt.

If it didn't, chances are this won't either.

If you don't know if it worked, go into the other thread and click "search this thread" and type the name of the app you're curious about. Because it's probably been asked before. Other thread:

How do I search a thread from my mobile device? I only see a general search but not thread specific.
