Is it possible to reverse engineer apps made by phone OEMs to work without Google Play services? (lemmy.today)

I've loaded LineageOS which has been great, so far. However, missing OEM apps from OnePlus like the camera to take full advantage is really lacking.

Through APK Pure you can obtain the OEM apps, but they don't run bc I'm missing the services necessary to function. I don't want to use AI to do this, but I've seen a lot of game ports or resurrected games come to light, thanks you people reverse engineer games removing DRM of other limitations, so I've considered it. I believe this requires a locally run AI tool cuz commercial versions obviously would stop that ASAP.

Any app tools anyone is aware of to just deactivate the need, or remove, etc? My old TCL phone had the best IR blaster app I've ever used, and I'm missing that dearly, too!

in some cases it's not very complicated. i think your tcl ir blaster app might just work. (if you have ir blaster, ofc)

for camera i recommend using gcam port (like bsg mgc.. search xda) they tend to not work without gapps but actually works fine after installing gcam services provider from fdroid, no need for even microg
