I have a us Samsung phone so I an unable to root and replace GMS with micro g. Would it he possible to patch apps (with lspatch for example) to use another app for push notifications? Firebase notifications are the only reason I have GMS at all still.

No idea if this would he possible but my starting idea here is using a server of some sort to grab the firebase notifications and push them all over one webocket similar to GMS. What I don’t know is how registering apps works. I know from micro g they register themselves to receive notifications but I’m not sure of what data is actually given to micro g or the relationship between the app and micro g/the web socket.

Ah. I see what you are thinking. I don’t think that would work as most apps don’t register with UnifiedPush.

I wonder if we could use lspatch (or similar) to hook in and change that. I might have a project ahead of me. We’ll see.
