google play store partI remember a while back hearing about custom google play store APKs, are they still a thing? And if so, could someone explain them to me? (Or just send a link to them)

I've tried Mobilism, but the search is locked behind a login and their activation emails aren't reaching my inbox.

rooting partCould someone help me root my phone?

I've never rooted phones before, and I can't find any trusted information on how to root my specific model of phone.

I have a Samsung A03s, please ask me if you need information.

First for good info for rooting your phone check xda forums. They surely have a forum for ur phone and surely have someone who rooted it and has more experience and is willing to help out.

For a store u could use apkpure app store (no account needed) or apk mirror

Be careful when rooting because there are risks of bricking and such. Dont root ur main phone it might be risky since its ur first time.

Second this, I'd buy another phone, maybe a used/new Google pixel from a few gen back, and practice rooting it. I've bricked my phone twice before and it's not fun. Once I got lucky and was able to get back in, but the other time I had to factory reset and rebuild all my personal stuff. Others have mentioned XDA, but I'd also check out Munchy: https://youtube.com/@munchy_cool

Search for an app called aurora store in f droid. Open source app so it's safer to use. You can download any apps from play store with it.

I probably should mention, I've checked the FMHY megathread but haven't found anything on the play store cracks, and the guide for rooting doesn't cover my phone.

There isn't anything as trustworthy or comprehensive as Mobilism from my experience. Your best bet is to try making another throwaway email to get the activation email.

There is a guide in xda

This is the magisk they are referring to: Magisk
