So just the default android that came with the phone? microg is usually used in combination with custom android versions like LineageOS, CalyxOS, eOS or GrapheneOS. So if you want to degoogle your phone you should look into those. Be aware that without google services certain banking apps will stop working because of bullshit security theater by the banks.
Microg isnt an addition to your OS its a complete replacement of large parts of the core systems of the OS.
If that happens to be the command you ran, then all you’ve done is disable google play services. You should run pm enable com.google.android.gms to get it running again.

Well, I’m still looking for my first job to purchase myself a Pixel, so I can’t really change OS yet.
I see. What phone do you have currently? LineageOS for example has support for a huge list of devices.

There is also a version of Lineage that comes with microG preinstalled and it supports all the same devices.

Installing a custom OS isnt super hard but if you arent familiar with using a terminal and such it might be a bit daunting of a project.
SamsungA15. And I also wanna have a separate android phone, just in case. I’m not going full on another OS before making sure it all works well.
Wait, you removed system apps on a Samsung phone? How?
Brevent. Command was something like pm user uninstall or… I keep forgetting it :(
Brevent looks to me like an app to help you force stop other apps. How did you use it to run adb commands?
You tap the upper left corner (3 lines), then “Execute Command”. Then, you type in the command and press enter.
Also,
pm userisn’t a valid command. Did you meanpm disable-user PACKAGE_OR_COMPONENT?If that happens to be the command you ran, then all you’ve done is disable google play services. You should run
pm enable com.google.android.gmsto get it running again.Having a quick look, the A15 seems like a notoriously hard target to degoogle. 🫤
I know, I’ll buy another phone soon.
