google play store part

I 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 part

Could 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.

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
