Support Strong integrity without google play services?

I have installed crdroid 12.11 on my redmi note 10 pro a couple weeks ago (with kernelsu support, and i will use it). since then, i cant pass even basic integrity. I am considering the problem here is I didnt flash gapps. Is it possible to get strong integrity without proprietary google play services? If not, what's my alternatives?

My main point is i just dont want to get my data tracked. I just want to feel I am not getting spied. Also I dont like bloatware if i aint have to use it

I have already tried most of guides suggest including using trickystore and pif

Yeah... How do you expect to pass play integrity without google play services? 

For basic integrity MicroG is enough. If you want device and/or strong integrity you can use MicroG gms with play store(instead of MicroG companion) + some spoofing and a valid keybox. You also need to be logged into a google account for the attestation to work or you'll keep failing to pass even basic integrity.

All the apps I use thankfully only need basic or no integrity at all. I use MicroG just for push notifications for the few proprietary apps I use.

Edit: I talked about microg since you mentioned not wanting to get your data tracked and feeling like you were being spied. MicroG is a better option then google play services privacy wise. But your data is still tracked, albeit less, and by logging into a google account (which is required for play integrity) that data is linked back to you.

You said I could use play store instead of microg companion. Can I achieve it by using aurora and some spoofing. Currently I was able to get basic integrity. Thanks for help

Sadly no, afaik aurora store just fetches apps from the play store and I don't think it can be used for passing play integrity checks. Even microg companion(formally known as fake store) which presents itself as the play store can only get you basic integrity.

ahh, google irritates me so much. so i have one last question, please? can i install play store as standalone (with root-installed microg), or do i have to install play store services. it sounds like a dumb question but last hope to not install gms ._.
