How to enable system package replacement with MicroG in 3.3.0.14

somehow i messed up with MicroG services core when updating some Android Apps

Signature spoofing does not work anymore

two problems:

  • when downloading and installin microG services core wit FDroid, I am receiving the message that the application's signature/key doesn't fit. Deinstalling and Reinstalling microG services core doesn't help
  • using the installed microG services core nevertheless, I cannot enable "enable system package replacement" with the Android settings from Sailfish's settings. Accordingly, the Self-Check of microG services core fails with respect to signature spoofing

Any idea (DrYak?)?

BTW: everything was fine after installing 3.3.0.14 until I mistakenly "updated" microG services core by means of Aurora Store (instead of using F-Droid). I was so stupid to press "update all"

EDIT: with my Xperia 10 I didn't do the same mistake, so everything is fine and system package replacement is (still) enabled BUT I also cannot change this setting.

This is because the step "push the "<|" Android back arrow" now (in 3.3.0.14) results in quitting the settings instead of leading to the main screen of the Android Settings App, as suggested in DrYak's instructions:

I made a factory reset, and thereafter I could enable system package replacement und 3.2.0 - following DrYak's instructions. This doesn't work in 3.3.0.14 because there is no way to access the main screen of Android settings (at least, I couldn't find one)

In F-Droid, I still have a signature signing key problem with microG services core (I don't now, whether it's related or not):not, but I believe it is not, because it still persists after a full factory reset):
