FakeStore that you can download from F-Droid is quite an essential piece of software to allow you a good Android experience in Android-Open-Source based systems like LineageOS or SailfishOS with API level 29 i.e. Android version 10 and above. It basically mocks the existence of Google Play Store to the Play Services Client. If you search for „FakeStore” in this forum, you will find several threads like How to get microG running on XA2 with SfOs 4.4. There you can find information why this is needed in combination with MicroG. After setting up those right, please check also the necessary settings for MicroG and the SFOS settings (activate both in the Android app support sub-settings beforehand), you’ll will be like with any ordinary Googled Android device but your device will then spoof GAPS. You can measure your phone battery drains and compare to Android, so you might use less of your battery power since less ATS (advertisement and tracking services) are attacking you. In general, SFOS is better with this since it allows you to do the Android signature spoofing.
