hi [MENTION=6046143]marcdw[/MENTION], thanks for your response.

Of course I debloated GAPPS, hope I removed all of them (with use of titanium backup). I definitely uninstalled whole core (service framework, store etc, I deleted also all google apps like search,gmail, YT....). I think there is no problem, I can send list of uninstalled apps, if needed.

About instalation of MicroG.

Just in case, if I talk about STOCK ROM, I mean Original software by LG, but there is TWRP and Magisk properly installed ( and GAPPS removed).

First of all, I tried to install MicroG classical way in system, then after phone reboot checks in MicroG were all OK. (cache&dalvik wiped). But GCM wasnt working. (just no notification for incoming emails, Signal messenger messages, etc. and some apps were crashing) If I installed app "Google cloud messaging tester"(or something like this), it crashed after few second of checking. Alternative App wasnt working correctly too.

So my idea were there is problem with spoofing with xposed(module for spoofing seems not maintained long time), because "spoofing checker" said "SPOOFING DISABLED".

I was thinking about use NanoDroid patcher for spoofing and then for install microg zip via TWRP (MicroG documentation talk about this alternative), but there were problems with system unstability right after signature spoofing were done and system boot up. And if Nanodroid package with microG were installed (NanoDroid-microG-20.7.20190310.zip), there were no changes, system was just corrupted somehow.

So teoretically, it could be some problem with incorrect installation of MicroG by first way( but strange is, MicroG said its all OK and "signature spoofing checker" said its NOT OK).

Second way, using Nanodroid patcher is probably corrupting system. So, i think its not OK for this device.

There are maybe other better ways I didnt tried. or?

I have to say, I tried that both of methods about 3 times for sure there were no possible random error or something, spend a lot of time on it. After I felt I probably failed with that, I tried to ask here :)

so any suggestion are welcome, thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] Mynacol:
If I remember correctly, the signature spoofing XPosed module exclusively grants this permission to microG. This is why the "signature spoofing checker" does say "spoofing disabled". As long as every checkmark in the mocroG self-test is checked, everything (at least regarding installation and setup) of microG seems fine.

You know that GCM/FCM usually only works for newly installed apps, so apps that were installed after the installation of microG and setup of GCM? It seems you installed the " Google cloud messaging tester" after the setup of microG. If that is indeed correct we have to elaborate more. Please send us a screenshot of all the checkboxes in the microG self-test.
[Android Apps and Games] lokomot1:
Hi,

I think there maybe were multipe minor problems in my instalation of microG.

But...I tried reflash clean rom few times and tried install microG correctly again.

I found possible main problem in google service core, that wasnt properly uninstalled with titanium backup or system app uninstaller too(because microG core couldnt be installed in system -unknown error, if flashed in twrp, there was problem with crashing system apps).

So I deleted it manually via root explorer (Im sure I did it few times before, but microG wasnt working...hmm, interesting...) and now everyhing is OK and working like a charm.

So thank you for help guys, thanks a lot!

Hi everyone!

I installed microg via fdroid on unofficial lineage 16 for my pixel 2 xl. I also installed magisk.

It is going well, except for passing safetynet (both fail with magiskhide) for logging into snapchat and using certain weather apps.

Can I do anything about this? Everything passes the microg check except for network-based location enabled (i turned on location in settings)
[Android Apps and Games] guest4711:
To turn on network based location you have to install and configure location provider (e.g. Radiocells.org UnifiedNlp Backend (UnifiedNlp location provider (Radiocells.org)) - https://f-droid.org/app/org.openbmap.unifiedNlp - and NominatimNlpBackend (UnifiedNlp geocoding provider (MapQuest Nominatim)) - https://f-droid.org/app/org.microg.nlp.backend.nominatim ) and put Nominatim into /system/apps and microG into /system/priv-apps afaik. I did it this way and all is fine.
[Android Apps and Games] Bilge656:
What Microg package do I move?
[Android Apps and Games] guest4711:
Core module (com.google.android.gms).
[Android Apps and Games] Bilge656:
I did both and rebooted. This led to a bootloop.

(Interestingly, the same thing happened when I tried using NanoDroid to install microg)

Edit: I tried to move the microg package back, but now android won't recognize it
[Android Apps and Games] guest4711:
Strange. If the installation of Nanodroid results in a bootloop too there seems to be something wrong with your ROM, perhaps some g-apps (pre-)installed?

I usually don't change any file on /system partition, I use Magisk to mount it on it... So I only need to go into TWRP and disable a module/force Magisk to start in core only mode if something went wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] wojtoo:
If you put microg core to priv-app you need add permission file to system/permission
[Android Apps and Games] guest4711:
Did not need to do so, but the ROMs I tested with this configuration run selinux in relaxed mode...
[Android Apps and Games] Bilge656:
What is a permission file?

Also, whenever I move the file to priv-app, it makes me bootloop. I have to delete it to get back into android.

Hi, I am referring to that point in initial post:

"You can test Google Cloud Messaging using this test application. Push notifications do not require account registration."

Looking at the linked app, it is (now?!) using Firebase Cloud Messaging Push.

So my question is:

Is this really still working? Do I have to install/reinstall that app to check different microG/system setting? I am asking as I read that normal apps should be reinstalled (after microG).

I confirm, I updated push notification tester some days ago and it was still working
[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
With the downloaded version I get registered, but not receive the notification with device 1. (will try that again)

The other for device 2 seems to work. :)

The download app (thanks!) has 2.9 in its name, but there is no version number in about.

Thanks so much.

The question is now, why it is not working for the Playstore version....

Have any of you managed to get Discord and other apps that is entirely based on FCM, to work? Discord registers with GCM/FCM fine and gets a token. But I'm only receiving notifications and can't interact with the rest of the app. Serverlist is empty, etc, and app thinks it needs to resort to its non-working WSS fallback.

I'm on a Pixel 3 with NanoDroid. Everything else works.
[Android Apps and Games] patrickdrd:
I've got discord and it's working but my usage is a bit different:

I was in contact with author of "push notification tester", because this app crashes with micrG.

https://github.com/bbindreiter/PushNotificationTester_App/issues/7

He means that he just uses offical API and there is not much to do wrong and suspects that something is not ok in microG. But of course I have no idea what is actually happend.
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
As mentioned above, just use YouTube Vanced. Can be installed via Magisk or flashed in TWRP. If you're not rooted that's fine. There's a non-root version of Vanced and a standalone microG apk to go with it (for using your Google account).

Yep, I'm finding across my various microG-based ROMs that having webview v74 is breaking a number of things. From Aurora Store telling me I don't have network to DAVDroid/DAVx failing to connect, as well as the aforementioned login stuff.

Downgraded webview to v72 and all is good. Will err on the side of caution and stay put for awhile.

Cool. Which version do you have? v74 is what seems to be causing issues for people. Not Bromite specifically but Chrome/Chromium v74 webview. If accounts were already setup then things are fine but if one had to start over or recreate an account then the problem hits.

But scratch the davx5 thing. Not sure that uses webview anyway. I just get the occasional sync error (Google) and was coincidental.

Look for OpenGApps and flash the pico or nano package. They're small enough that they may fit just fine. Nano package has Google App/Search. If you don't need that then go for pico.

Bromite/Chromium 74.x breaks Google Login with microG. Use an older Version or legacy AOSP WebView (as a temporal workaround). If that's what you use. [MENTION=9302285]Veerab[/MENTION]
[Android Apps and Games] Exabyter:
I'd like to see the settings you use to restrict that app.

Historically I've used the LineageOS version with embedded MicroG. But LOS (and the LineageOS for microG fork) has discontinued support for tons of devices this year, most of the official builds now seem to be for devices from companies like Huawei and Xiaomi which do not properly support US carriers and are not available here. Resurrection Remix has also dropped support for a lot of those models.

So I'm considering going the nanodroid route instead for future installs, esp since the patched Gplay app will give me some functionality I am missing with eg Yalp.

I ended up setting up a phone specifically to run Gapps (pico) so I could get a usable version of location services for the various location-using apps that fail to various degrees under MicroG. (Some examples include Lyft, Zipcar, Scoot, CarMax, Weather Underground, Quicky, etc.)

It also allows me to once again install paid versions of important apps from developers who do not provide any way to buy a registered version without using the Gplay payment service.

The saddest part is I'm actually considering getting an iPhone for that purpose, because I don't have time to constantly diddle around trying to get various apps working with the limited MicroG-supported APIs.

---------- Post added at 06:50 ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 ----------

I temporarily installed the current (as of about a week ago) regular Gplay version of Discord (via Yalp Store) on a device running an older build of LineageOS for microG, for testing.

Basics seemed to work fine, successfully logged in, joined a group, chat and notifications work OK.

There seems to be some issue with output from an in-group bot not displaying, though that could be due to other restrictions/blocking I do. (Eg I have AdAway installed on that device)

Yup the failure of location services on MicroG has always been the only reason i could never fully switch to it

Its never been addressed, and so ultimately to me its a rather dead entity, sadly

Ive tried it so many times over the years...

The premise is great, but the reality is one of losing functionality & features, compromise and endless fiddling...i simply dont have the time or inclination for it

If someone actually figures out how to fix the location services fully, i'd be happier than larry.....

[Android Apps and Games] Exabyter:
That's good news, especially regarding the location services issues, I wish that sort of news would get posted here.

The issues I have with location services seem to revolve mostly around any sort of interaction with a map (eg cannot pick/search/add destinations from a displayed map, this is what makes apps like Lyft mostly unusable), and also unreliable location updating in general.

When I used to try using realtime location-based apps with microG, it would often stop updating the location unless I restarted the OS, and then after a short time it would get "stuck" again and/or couldn't get a fix on anything until another restart.

The other thing I worry about are Google's recent moves to deprecate a long list of APIs, subsume all of them under Firebase (including push messaging) and force all apps to only use the Firebase services going forward. I fear this will break many apps running on a microG device.

(Aside: I wish there was a way around the "posting nanny" they use here which appends new posts onto prior posts for 30-60 minutes after the last post. When you post a response to someone like this one, they and anyone else just reading new posts will never see it unless you waste your time waiting for that timer to expire.)
[Android Apps and Games] crypta:
The firebase information given should be enough for any advanced user just to kick apps, needing this.

I do apps myself and yes, it is kind of a hard choice not to get this deep into the cuddle warm Google eco system. But on long term, the enterprise buzzword is vendor lock in. From user point of view, it is today more easy and doable to get rid of Google then some years ago.

Everyone of us shapes the society of tomorrow.

To microg : if installed some market apps force close with microg installed. Without everything is fine. And bott, of course without gapps. Someone any idea? One of the apps is swift keyboard. (I do miss a good Foss keyboard)
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
Very well spoken - thanks a lot.

And yes, I also miss a FOSS keyboard that suits my needs. I've tried quite a few but none is really suitable for me. Therefore, I continue to use the Swift Keyboard; from my personal point of view currently the very best of its kind if you only look at functionality. But you have to be aware that a lot of crap has been implemented into Swift, the reason why I restricted Swift very much including denial of internet access (if interested refer to attached screenshots). Swift permanently tries "to call home" or somewhere else.

Anyhow, different to you I've never had Swift to force close, and I'm using µG for years.

From my understanding, Google Plus support isn't fully implemented in microG. A table of what is implemented is found here: https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/wiki/Implementation-Status

I think the app should still be able to install and just not work, but the lack of (good) support might be part of your issue and, at the very least, should make you question how badly you need the app.

I personally don't use the YouTube app and instead use the WebTube app that doesn't require Google Services. It can be found on F-Droid or maybe even on XDA. A similar app exists called NewPipe, but that wouldn't load anything on my phone.

You can use getprop to check which sdk version the system is running, then use a if statement within the updater-script to unload the files. Have two separate folders, one with things in KitKat order, and another with things in the Lollipop+ order. Or you can easily add another page to your AROMA setup asking users to tell which Android version they are running and trusting their wisdom on it. If possible, I shall do the new release utilising this method if you allow me to.
