If you want to play with no mods you can do this and you don't have to be rooted or using something like vmos or vphonegaga but it still won't let you connect to your Google account.
To play normally, just download the original apk and sign it with the test signature. Lucky patcher has this option as well as SAI. Then install over the mod. It takes all the mod options off including mod menu but there's no way will you connect to your Google account this way.
Connecting to your Google account when on rooted phone or inside a VM isn't a problem, you can install the original apk over the top of the modded one and connect to your Google account but as soon as you install the mod over the original apk, there's no chance of still being connected to your account. The game will attempt it once, says no internet connection and reloads your game again putting you in guest mode with no save whatsoever. Even if you had a save before in guest mode it doesn't recognise it. It will just start you from the beginning which is very painful if you've progressed far in this game as everything takes ages to progress whether you use the mod or not.
SWGOH had the option of connecting your Facebook account which works modded but as far as I'm aware I didn't think you could connect to your Google account but haven't played it in a while now. Is this right
