Edit: I suggest using obtainium so that if the app gets any new releases or updates you can easily get notifications and manage that. I also originally submitted a bad json code snippet which I have corrected and tested.

After deleting googles safetycore, do the following to ensure Google doesn't reinstall it.

install the latest release of Obtainium

also available on IzzyOnDroid
also available on F-Droid

Via Obtainium, install Safetycore-placeholder

it might take some messing with Obtainiums settings to ensure that the latest version of the saftycore placeholder is installed so here is an export of my settings just for this app. Just copy the text and save it as a json to import the settings.

Why would obtainium be needed instead of installing the apk directly?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

You can install it directly, I have.
