New MicroG 'feature'

I think I will use a second user on my phone when I’m leaving home, because in second user profile you can disable microG complete

An alternative would be to replace microG (GmsCore) manually:

On several of my microG-based ROMs I found I needed to manually replace microG when it was not possible to update via normal means (like when I was using modded builds during their “down period” or get signature mismatches).

It’s a simple matter of replacement while in TWRP. Copy the new microG apk to /system/priv-app/GmsCore/ directory. Copy/save/backup GmsCore.apk if desired, then delete it. Rename new microG apk to GmsCore.apk. Give it permission 644 (rw-r-r).

EDIT: Oops, forgot to mention. On A/B system-as-root devices the path would be /system/system/priv-app/GmsCore/.
