I made an open-source Android project called Sorry Google that provides APK stubs for replacing a few Google system services that some users may not want on their devices.

The project currently targets:

- "com.google.android.safetycore" — Android System SafetyCore

- "com.google.android.contactkeys" — Android System Key Verifier

- "com.google.android.verifier" — Android Developer Verifier

What are these actually used for?

Android System SafetyCore

SafetyCore is Google's on-device safety/classification service. It provides infrastructure for features such as Sensitive Content Warnings in Google Messages. Google says the classification is performed locally on the device rather than sending the classified content or results to Google's servers.

Android System Key Verifier

Key Verifier provides a standardized system service for verifying public encryption keys used by E2EE messaging applications. It can be used to verify contacts through QR codes or number comparison and helps protect against attacks such as key substitution.

Android Developer Verifier

This is Google's newer developer-verification service. It is designed to verify the identity of developers behind apps, particularly when apps are installed outside Google Play, as part of Google's upcoming Android developer-verification requirements.

So, to be clear: these aren't random or inherently malicious Google apps. They are legitimate Android security-related services.

The reason I made Sorry Google is about user control. If you don't want one of these services on your device, Android can make simply uninstalling/removing them difficult, and some system components can be restored through system updates or Google services.

The project uses package-name/signature behavior to install a minimal APK with the same package name as the targeted service. The replacement contains essentially just the required manifest and resources rather than the original service functionality.

The project is open source, so you can inspect exactly what the replacement APKs contain and build them yourself.

Important: Replacing these packages means you may lose functionality that depends on them. This is intended for people who understand the trade-offs rather than being a recommendation for everyone.

Previously, Morphe had a Theme patch that allowed you to change the YouTube background color - but there was a catch:

>You had to choose the color during patching, and you could only have one color.

Now we've made it a little less... painful. 😎

Will be added soon.

Now you can finally spend 20 minutes choosing the perfect shade of black.

It won't let me press install. What to do please help, thanks

I recently installed the new YouTube Morphe Patches, and I noticed this new feature: there’s a small button in the bottom-right corner that lets you select different languages and completely translate the audio.

I find this really useful, especially for videos where I don’t understand the original language.

Is this a built-in feature from YouTube/Morphe Patches, or is it actually a feature provided directly by YouTube?

Also, is there any way to enable it manually? I have the exact same version of YouTube Morphe Patches installed on another phone, but for some reason, this language translation feature doesn’t appear there.

I’m a bit confused about why it’s available on one phone but not the other. Can anyone help me figure out how I can get this feature working on my other phone?

After installing Piko's Instagram after patching, it initially stays on the latest layout, but after 1–2 days, it automatically switches back to the old layout.

Can someone check why this is happening?

My device is a Pixel 7a. Interestingly, when I share the exact same APK with my OPPO F23 phone, the layout remains the latest one and doesn’t revert.

Is there any solution or workaround for this issue?

There is present two methods to install morphe patched apps. First method with ADB, Second method is through developer setting to allow sideloading apps:

Open the developer options.

Enable the setting for apps from unverified developers.

Authenticate using their screen lock.

Confirm that nobody is forcing them to change the setting.

Restart the phone.

Wait 24 hours.

Return to the settings.

Choose whether to allow these apps for seven days or indefinitely.

I love the apps that Morphe supports. That said, it'll be great if there's a way to categorise apps (tools, social media, etc) and if there's a way to know about the app from within Morphe, rather than having to go to Google Play and searching there.
