Hey guys, as on XDA there is an awesome guide on how to remove system apps without root, I have removed google play services this way as it is a RAM-Sucker without comparison. I would like to see the possibility to patch apps to have them avoid GCM/FCM or the google play services in particular, and either use some modded version of MicroG that works without root, or something of luckypatchers own. All in all I can not root as I am dependent on keeping my manufacturers warranty as I have a waterproof fone which I often use in water and I want it to be replaced if it breaks...

Here is the guide in case anyone's wondering:
