There is an alternative to google play store API. https://microg.org/ https://microg.org/ They are an open source re implementation of play store APIs that work with play store apps, without all the bloated tracking and spy... sorry "telemetry", and without giving Google remote root on your phone, with the ability to selectively install and do whatever the hell they want to your device silently (sounds like a targeted intelligence operation dream to me). Removing gapps stuff and using microg instead saved a large amount of ram, and more than doubled my battery life. Its a great way to make old devices suck less. No implementation of this API yet, but it seems rather trivial to do, and will likely see implementation.
