I've bought DraStic some time ago and used it for a while. But now my phone runs on open source custom rom with every non open-source app isolated in sandbox. If DraStic didn't requied Google Play Services to check licence I would just run it in sandbox but it would not work. There is no way to sandbox Google Play Services. Is there any way I can run it without Google Play Services?

I know about a open source reimplementation of Play Services called MicroG Services Core, try it.

but it's still +10 sec to boot time. Is there really no way to do it without Google Services?

Drastic is a paid app and it has a anti piracy protection based on Play Services, is you want to use Drastic you have to sacrifice those seconds of boot.

No, not without the Google Play Store license verification API, you could try MicroG but support for license checking is limited. I don't understand how the extra boot time is a large problem for you unless you have an old device.

You can try the individual APKs from here if you only require that functionality from here: https://microg.org/download.html

error code: 291. I was getting the same error code before I've installed microG
