(I enter my password and Android ID, but after that is shown Installed apps button, I click it gives me FC)

what I noticed is that sync for Google Play Account (the one for BlankStore) is not sync at all

and I tried to sync manually and not work too. and I try with my real google account, and it's have same problem

and I install Xposed + FakeGapps

finally after 4 hours of searching, reading, and testing, this app up and running (inc latest playstore) on RR M CAF Oneplus One, yeaayy!! thanks a lot dev :D
[Android Apps and Games] Mokmo31:
You may try to move BlankStore to /system/priv-app and give it 644 permissions. Otherwise, you can install the app "/system/app" (I downloaded from F-Droid) and use it to make BlankStore a system app.
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
[MENTION=3126811]FiRe || TeaR[/MENTION]: Have you done in this way?

1) Remove google account

2) Remove Gapps

3) Install microG

4) Readd account

5) Reinstall apps thay use GCM

Do not skip step 5.

Playstore 7.1.1 is working for me on beta 2.4.22

Allready bought paid apps are working fine.

But I'm unable to buy a new app.

Any idea?
[Android Apps and Games] :
It is a known problem :(

You will probably have to use the Play Store website.

on cm13 if i install through aroma installer , should i install xposed ?
[Android Apps and Games] FiRe || TeaR:
not work :(

I do all what you wrote, not work

I flash cm13 with clean flash, and I install with same instruction, same problem!
[Android Apps and Games] 2phazt:

I'm asking for BlankStore

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
[MENTION=3126811]FiRe || TeaR[/MENTION]: A logcat would be useful to know what is the problem.

[MENTION=5914361]2phazt[/MENTION]: To buy apps you need an old version of the play store, the 5.1.11 should work (not sure about others), and it should be in /system/priv-app. You also need to block auto-update of the play store.

I patched and built CM14, and microG self check said GmsCore has correct signature, but not Play Store (using FakeStore). Any ideas?

[Android Apps and Games] justmix4:
Google should not ban my account for using microg, right?

I want to try this again, and use application from the Play Store to do BlankStore system application. Maybe that's why this not wanted to work on my N4 as once I tried.

Guys, I am having problems with signature spoofing on Honor 8 (EMUI Android 6.0). FakeGapps does not work, I tried to use needle method, patched framework.jar but nothing happened, I still do not get a correct check box in Self-check settings.

Any ideas how to enable signature spoofing?
[Android Apps and Games] bigsupersquid:
Easiest trick I know to keep an app like play store from updating itself, if you can't block it in settings:

Let it update once. Copy the name of the folder it creates in /data/app.

Disconnect from the internet.

Uninstall the update, then create a file (not folder) in /data/app with the exact name of the update you want to prevent.

Reconnect to internet.

After that it'll silently fail to update itself.
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
[MENTION=5914361]2phazt[/MENTION]: The method is the one explained by [MENTION=2980661]bigsupersquid[/MENTION].

[MENTION=7474499]pupsidze[/MENTION], [MENTION=4087304]daktak[/MENTION]: Try to uninstall FakeGapps, restart the phone, reinstall FakeGapps, restart the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] pupsidze:
[MENTION=5627087]ale5000[/MENTION] thanks, tried it but no luck :( I suspect signature spoofing is not that easy to achieve in EMUI ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
I'm using BlankStore on Android 6.0.1, but I think this will be the same: In your system settings go to Apps->Gear Icon->App permissions->Spoof package signature

There should be two items there: "Android Market" and "microG Services Core". Assure that both are enabled. Sounds like you only have the "microG Services Core" enabled.

Does UnifiedNlp work for anyone on Android 7 yet? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] daktak:
That is indeed correct! Thank you. [MENTION=5208894]user822[/MENTION] note I had to move GmsCore into priv-app to get UnifiedNlp working in cm14.
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
That should not have been required. What version of Android are you running?
[Android Apps and Games] user822:
Thanks for your reply

Install with the normal apk installation proccess and then move the apk, or download the apk and move it straigt to /system/priv-app/?
[Android Apps and Games] daktak:
I installed normally, then in TWRP file manager mounted /system and move /data/app/com.google.gms-1 to /system/priv-app. But I'm sure this would work by moving in a root file manager as well.

Some ROMs do not seem to allow non-system apps to register as network location provider as far as i know.
[Android Apps and Games] enban:
Hi guys,

just a simple question. I apologize in advance if it seems trivial but I can't for the life of me understand how the signature stuff works.

I normally install microG along with Google Play Store (the original store). Then I install and activate FakeGApps, the XPosed module, just because it is recommended in the OP. I thought it was necessary to make google Play work with microG. Nonetheless, now I have deactivated the Xposed module and the Play store is working without any issue. My question then is: what is the spoofing signature thing for?

Maybe it's only for OTHER apps to believe that Google Play Services are installed, instead of microG?

Thanks in advance for your clarifications.
[Android Apps and Games] pupsidze:
AFAIK, spoofing is required for MicroG to mimic the original Google Services, otherwise it won't work.
[Android Apps and Games] enban:
[solved]

Thanks for your reply. But then I can't understand why Play Store is working without the needed Xposed module...

EDIT: ok, I tried installing Allo and it wont' run, saying that it needs Google Play Services. Now I understand what spoofing is for.

Can Google ban account for using microG?

---------- Post added at 10:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 AM ----------

Can Google ban our accounts for using microG?
[Android Apps and Games] pupsidze:
Theoretically yes, I don't believe they like the idea of MicroG
[Android Apps and Games] Mokmo31:
Hi everyone,

first of all I'd like to thank the developers for this huge and great project! I installed and configured correctly, everything works smoothly, but today I found an issue.

I downloaded and installed the app "Moovit" from Google Play (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tranzmate), which has been updated on Oct 10th: when I open the app, it reports the message "you need to upgrade Google Play Services".

Of course, if I update Google Play Services, it will overwrite microG or, in the worst case, mess up with my Android. Is downloading an older version the only solution to make it work?
[Android Apps and Games] pupsidze:
Try to edit MicroG's manifest and put versionCode='999999999' there or use Play Market, that does not update Google Services.
[Android Apps and Games] Mokmo31:
Ho do I edit the MicroG's manifest?

Which are (or may be) its consequences after this operation?
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
I don't know if there is a different solution with MicroG, however the last version which does not require Play Services is 4.2.10.210.

It still throws up a warning the first time you launch it after installation, and you can't login to Google or use the carppol feature, however the rest of the app works fine.

I don't use GAPPS at all, not even MicroG (I do not know about the future, though), however I am recommending MicroG to others.
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
[MENTION=7397294]Mokmo31[/MENTION]: The version of Google Play Services is updated by MaR-V-iN when it is needed, you just need to update microG Services Core to the lastest preview version (currently 0.2.4-22, note the 22)
[Android Apps and Games] Mokmo31:
Yes, at the moment I've installed one of the last 4.x version taken from the Aptoide's main repo and it works for my purpose.

I installed the version 0.2.4 from F-Droid repo, I tried to update but it tells me that I first have to remove the old version, which implies that all my configs will be removed. That means that I'll have to install again all my backends?

Now I've got another problem, two actually.

My Android smartwatch connects to the smartphone but doesn't sync anything, even if I installed Android Wear and the app Google.

Moreover, in the section "Account" my two Google account do not sync and I've got the message "Synchronization is not active" (but WhatsApp works....).

PS: I'm running this Cyanogenmod 13 version for my Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro
[Android Apps and Games] Resurrector99:
Is it possible to use the original google location services with unifiednlp? Cause the location with MLS is very off in my area...
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
Don't know if you can run both (I run with as little Google code as I can get away with). But you can install the Mozilla stumbler app and contribute data for your area which should improve the locations returned by MLS.
[Android Apps and Games] FiRe || TeaR:
Finally I found the problem + fix, it was in app permission. Give BlankStore all access > restart > open BlankStore :good::D
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
[MENTION=3126811]FiRe || TeaR[/MENTION]: Probably it was some permissions related to read / write, from the log "java.lang.RuntimeException: could not init /storage/emulated/0/.nogapps/blankstore!"

Wouldn't this nullify the efforts to retain a bit of privacy using microG?
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
[MENTION=3898263]enban[/MENTION]: All backends are optional and there is always a tradeoff between features and privacy.

You can say the same for the Apple backend I think.

Same problem with cm13-based ROM. I use Cronus which works.
[Android Apps and Games] Deities:
I've honestly tried everything I could. There's no hope for me.

I'm running a One Plus 3, with the Community Build Oxygen OS. It comes preloaded with Gapps, so I had to manually delete all the files that the link provided in the first post of this thread.

I'm trying to install MicroG with Magisk v7 and Systemless xposed.

I've tried installing MicroG first, then Magisk and Xposed. = Fails

I've tried installing Magisk and Xposed, then MicroG = Fails

I've tried JUST installing MicroG = Fails

------

I've tried uninstalling Gapps with Titanium Backup, TWRP File Manager, Gapps Removal Scripts, and Disabling in system with root (All separate attempts) and still can not install MicroG core...

I honestly can't find a solution to installing MicroG other than Flashing an unsupported non-Gapps ROM (Which the whole point of my attempt was to get MicroG on OxygenOS)

You win Gapps, you and your dirty hidden files and folders. You win :(
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
You know, it helps us help you if you tell us *how* it fails. Can you install microG? If not, what's not installing? Does it think it is already installed? If you can, is the issue with the signature spoofing? Have you tried one of the methods of patching a ROM (i.e. Tingle)?
[Android Apps and Games] Deities:
When I remove all GAPPS , and have xposed sig. spoofing app installed, the micro core all file just doesn't install. Ends with the error of 'app not installed'

I've tried the needle patcher, but still didn't work.

I can install blankstore, microgsf , xposed and fakegapps, and magisk. With everything on my device working with no known trace of GAPPS to my knowledge .

I follow the instructions, installing the core first then gsf and then blankstore, but my progress stops at the core all install since it just fails.

I did get it installed once. So I know sig spoofing works. But I honestly can't remember how I got it installed since my phone bootlooped after that trial upon restart
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
[MENTION=7724441]Deities[/MENTION]: There are a million of ways that it can fail, so just saying that it doesn't work is useless.

To diagnose the problem you have to say the exact error message word per word, plus the exact steps you have done.

If you want to try the patcher (Needle/Tingle) you have to do it withOUT Magisk/Xposed (they can be installed later, but it is safer to do the patching procedure with a clean system partition).

Tingle have a better compatibility for some edge cases.

So if it still doesn't work post the exact messages displayed + the logcat.
[Android Apps and Games] Deities:
Oh no, I'm saying it does work, but I'm too lost to figure it out.

Due to multiple failed attempts, I had to factory reset my phone. So let's start from there.

I flashed Oxygen OS Cm 3.5.3 and TWRP recovery.

I restart and fill out the initial first time boot setup.

-I add my playstore account and download non Google Apps. / load any third party ask like F-droid

I then delete my Google account from system and reboot into recovery.

(At this point I would try to flash Needle patch, but let's explain how I tried to make it work with xposed)

-I echo SYSTEMLESS=true > /data/.supersu

Then Flash supersu 2.78 beta, Magisk v7, and suhide v.55 followed by a reboot

-I give my apps permissions, and delete suhelper from Magisk because it makes my phone crash.

Finally I reboot into recovery and flash system less xposed 86.6.

I now have the basic setup that I want, including all needed xposed modules for signature spoofing

Here is where things get messy.

Attempt A:

-I flash the remove_gapps script zip and wipe cache.

I reboot to see all my GAPPS and services removed other than gmscore.

I Uninstaller the playstore apk

-I try to install microg apk

Returns with 'app not installed' error

Attempt B:

-I flash the remove_gapps script zip and wipe cache.

I reboot to see all my GAPPS and services removed other than gmscore.

I manually remove gmscore in priv_apps using twrp.

I attempt to install microg with the same result.

Attempt C:

I manually remove all gapps with Titanium backup. = same result

Attempt D through G: (including manually removing each gapps file using twrp manager)

I can't get past the step of installing the microg apk.

I'm assuming it's because of some hidden gapps folder I'm missing or isn't being removed.

Maybe.... It's signature spoofing, but my results are the same with needle patch, or the fakegapps xposed mod active

Either way, it all ends with a simple error: 'App not installed'

P. S: yes, I factory reset maybe 6 times for this, which can't be healthy for my phone hardware. I think until an installer script that supports marshmallow is released, I'll have to give up on microg simply because I'm not tech savy enough to figure it out.
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
[MENTION=7724441]Deities[/MENTION]

Why do you add a Google account before setting microG? It will just complicate things.

You can just download F-Droid from its official site without any account.

On my phone I just do:

- Enter in ClockworkMod

- Wipe data

- Format /system (wipe data isn't enough)

- Flash CyanogenMod

- Flash Gapps removal

- Mount /system if not mounted

- Running Tingle while the phone it is still in the recovery

- Restart phone

- Install microG

You just need one reboot.

microG will install perfectly even if signature spoofing is missing (it won't be used by other apps but it still run), so your problem is different.

We can understand better the problem if you post a logcat (while it give the 'App not installed' error in the logcat can be seen the reason).

[MENTION=7724441]Deities[/MENTION] [MENTION=5627087]ale5000[/MENTION]

I just had a thought: perhaps removing gmscore is only removing the system installation and not the updates stored in /data? That would likely lead to the installation problems that are occurring.

Hello,

thanks so much for the development marvin!

Can someone tell me if the chromecast is support fully now?

Can I stream from Spotify to my Chromecast Audio with MicroG?
[Android Apps and Games] BryanByteZ:
After some "experiments" i finally managed to make this work on my Moto G 1st Gen (falcon) so here it is what i did:

Flashed latest CM13 Official nightly

Installed apk (xposed material installer) then latest xposed official and reboot

Installed FakeGapps module to enable spoofing and reboot

Installed gmscore, gsfproxy and blankstore, ticked necessary things on microG settings then reboot

On blankstore after i generate my AndroidID and sign in and it just FC, uninstalled it and installed Official PlayStore i didn't work too (it just ask for the user and pass) so i moved it to system and it worked!!!

So far so good I will test it for a bit more and probably will be my primary ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
Some people say casting works OOTB (usually with YouTube), others say you need BubbleUPnP installed. I haven't tried either because I don't have a Chromecast, but it's worth trying.
[Android Apps and Games] 2phazt:
Bubbleupnp works. Native not.
[Android Apps and Games] bilbonotry:
Right. But maybe bubbleupnp needs its xposed module.

I guess so, too - but I have not tested it so far - only video.
[Android Apps and Games] bilbonotry:
Hello, concerning Google voice search, I tried to prevent it to go to Internet with privacy guard, it does not FC's but does not display any word and does not find anything. With data off it does not let me do any search whereas voice input in SMS works. Of course with data on and no privacy guard search works. Using xposed and fake gapps on CM 13 like ROM
[Android Apps and Games] BryanByteZ:
So guys one more thing to ask

Is possible to just remove gapps and install microG? all apps will work fine (GCM)? and

its okay to use my principal account (where is my paid apps)? no ban or something like that?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
I tend to use my main account, though there is the chance of Google banning accounts using "derivative" services. As far as removing gapps and installing microG... It might work. It might not work. It's certainly not the recommended method of doing things and I would suggest flashing a ROM from scratch and setting up from there if you can. You'll have to be careful about which files you remove. Also, microG provides service bindings for other apps to use, which requires the apps that use the services to he installed after microG. I don't know how that plays in with previously having the proprietary gapps, but I can see apps potentially needing to be reinstalled.

Without having tried it myself, I would recommend:

- (Optional: remove all user-installed apps for reinstallation after microG, just to be safe)

- Rebooting to TWRP and using its file manager to delete gapps files from /system and /data. Also wipe the dalvik cache.

- While in TWRP, patch the system to enable signature spoofing using the Tingle script

- Reboot into Android. Install microG apps, preferably from F-Droid (include a location provider)

- Set up microG in the app

- install the Play Store or Blankstore (Play Store works best when placed in /system/priv-app

- Reinstall all other apps

Seriously though, a full wipe and reinstall, if possible, is a much better option with much less chance for weird things to happen.

Hi, I installed microG Services Core (latest), mapsapi and microG Services Framework Proxy on a LG G3 D722, CM13. Works really nicely - and does not slow down the phone, as GAPPS do.

Everything is fine, exept:

I cannot complete the login into play store. The login works, I get an email from google saying something like "your google account was connected with your LG G3...". But the phone will not stop to show the screen "Your device is connecting to google... - This may take several minutes".

Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Have you move PS as system app?

On me, PS have must be on /system/priv-app and then it work fine

How precisely did you do it?

Thanks a lot in advance,

[Android Apps and Games] SilentEYE:
Maybe some screenshots will help you.

Don't forget to reboot after that.

Afterwards check the micro self settings checkup and give there all the permissions that playstore is asking for.

[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
Check out the following page that I put together with some help from the No Gapps community: https://shadow53.com/no-gapps/compatibility There are two sections for Keep, depending on if you use it for notes or to-do lists. Some apps appear in both, so if you use it for both purposes try one of those.
[Android Apps and Games] ferivon:
What do you mean by "FC's"?

If I understood you correctly, then you have the same problem as me:

While being offline, Voice-To-Text works and voice commands do not work.

I have not been able to resolve that problem. But I am planning to write a simple open source app that let's you define your own voice commands. It will require some scripting knowledge on the user side though.

Doubt he'd be too interested in adding that since the main focus of microg is avoiding the closed source proprietary Google blobs like play store

If that info isn't already in the wiki [MENTION=7126506]Shadow53[/MENTION] mentioned they'd probably be happy to add it it there
