Thanks - I haven't been aware of that gms isn't installed as system app -as other features work and selfcheck looks good.

@MaR-V-iN : I would suggest to add that check.

Also important the hint about SatStat. Honestly that was my reference - as it is clear to see with red and blue position. Hopefully it can get fixed.

So just one problem seems to be left. Aurora usually idles after create API.
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
Sadly the developer of SatStat can't reproduce the bug

Problems with aurora store can usually be fixed by deleting app data, or selecting custom tokanizer in settings network.
[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
Some report about activating BT as workaround (), this was not helpful for me. I did dozens of stop and delete memory with different settings. At some moment it works. But I am not sure how consistent it is.

(https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraStore/-/issues/356)

I could reproduce the NAT64 prefix issue
[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
Happy New your to all of you!

No idea, I think it changes its behaviour. It is not same all time. Now it seems not to work again. Systemize just the core right?

I do get a clear errror:

"Allowing org.fitchfamily.android.gmslocation fine cecause it doesn't target API 29 yet. Please fix this app. Called from getCellLocation"

"Allowing org.fitchfamily.android.gmslocation fine cecause it doesn't target API 29 yet. Please fix this app. Called from getCellInfo"

Can someone recommend a "oflline database" backend that works in Android 10?

Also it complains about some "Access denied finding property "ril.xxx"

"GSNS locapi han't been set yes".

In OsmAnd I sometimes see a grey circle, but only sometimes and it disappears
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
org.fitchfamily.android.gsmlocation 1.4.23 works for me in Lineage.microg.org 17.1
[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
That's weird. That is same version (FDroid). And this time I do have an "official" LOS17.1. What does MatLog (Log) tells you? OsmAnd shows GPS pos blue and how it shows cell position? Mobile Network is on (to receive cell tower number) but mobile data are disabled.

Just to summerize it: It is GmsCore 0.2.16 (FDroid) systemized to /system/priv-app.

Beside Magisk I am using Adaware and AFWall, but that shouldn't influence that from my understanding. All is needed is cell number and the location database.
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
I was able to reproduce your issue on a fresh non-microG 17.1 installation.

What I tried without success

- install nomination

- uninstall magisk

- install minmicroG flahable zip

- several reboots

What succeeded

- install apple NLP back end

- switch between back ends

Now local gsm works. You see location is from gsm, when the uncertainty circle in osmand is several kilometres large.
[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
I repeated that test but result was mixed. I can confirm that apple-wifi delivers a position. But not sure that the other backends do.

I have updated some comments here:

Update to Android 10 · Issue #131 · n76/Local-GSM-Backend

It works with this fork (that is out of a comment above):

But there is still this 5s on/30s off issue:

cell tower based location is delayed by 30s, valid for just 5s and again not for 30s · Issue #1196 · microg/GmsCore

This location (I use GSM location service) is with newer GmsCore delayed. I SatStat I have to wait for 30s until I see the rough estimated blue location. This keeps blue for 5 seconds, and becomes ...

Nevertheless it is a big step ahead for me. Hope it keeps working after reboot too.

Is it possible to install MicroG from F-Droid directly as a system app to system/priv-app?

What would be the best way to achieve this?
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
The only reason to do that is the location provider. Everything else should work as user app. I use magisk module "systemized" to move ...gms to priv-app.

Thanks for all your help and have a nice day
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
Yes you can. Maybe you have to reinstall an app that should register in Google cloud messaging.
[Android Apps and Games] Tyrell.W:
Thanks @kurtn for your help and your answers ;)
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
The right place to ask about play store for microG is in nanodroid thread. But be aware: that play store is a real Google app, which you tried to avoid.
[Android Apps and Games] hypern0va:
I've clean flashed LOS17.1 in the weekend, patched it for signature spoofing, and then:

Installed GMSCore 0.2.15, DroidGuard Helper, Services Framework Proxy through F-Droid

Installed FakeStore

Installed Mozilla, Apple, Deja Vu NLPs

Installed Nominatim Geocoder Backend

Enabled modules in points 2 and 3

Got everything to be ticked in MicorG's self check

After this I didn't get any app to get network provided location. In addition, some other apps cannot display maps (they only show the Google logo in the bottom of the frame the maps should be in), while others can (by using Mapbox). All of these problems were not found on the same set of apps before the clean flash, on older LOS17.1 and microG builds.

Tried to fix those issues doing the following:

Flashed microG Installer Revived in Magisk to move everything to /system/priv-app/ (this updated microG to 0.2.16) -> did not fix

Updated to version 0.2.17 through F-Droid -> did not fix

Tried turning off/on NLP modules in microG settings to check if some of them is causing problems -> did not fix

Flashed the Maps v1 flashable zip from GitHub -> did not fix

Flashed the Maps v1 Magisk flashable zip provided in this repo fork -> did not fix

Network provided location seems to randomly work at times, once every ~10 nonconsecutive tentatives I'd say. I could not notice any action or condition triggering it to work. Funnily enough the "latest known location" entry in every NLP module settings page is actually correct, but since I'm not moving much (covid) I don't know how updated it is.

On the contrary, apps which could not display maps never got to display them in any tentative. Again, they were able to do it before the clean flash.

Any known condition comes in mind to you which could cause either the network location or the maps problem?

EDIT: Admitting I have no specific knowledge of the Maps API, I find the following logs interesting, appearing just after some others regarding an app which should show a map but it does not:

[Android Apps and Games] oswald_pu:
Hello folks,

in order to check a problem with microG crashes, I downgraded from microG 0.17 to 0.15 on a lineageOS 14 device: deinstalled the 0.17, installed 0.15. Since then, I can no longer make my location services work. I reinstalled several times 0.15 and 0.17, reinstalled my location providers, tried another, previously unused location provider (Apple); deinstalled microG core and all location providers, then reinstalled all - nothing worked. When using "Here GPS location" (network > read) it says "network not enabled".

Guess I messed up permissions - what should I do?

Cheers,

Wolf
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
LineageOS 14 has a feature to select location mode in settings. If you select " device only" the network location services are disable and you only get satellite location (GPS etc.)
[Android Apps and Games] oswald_pu:
Thank you for your hint. I'm familiar with that feature and set the control to "energy saving - use network only".
[Android Apps and Games] sabei:
Great post and I wish I could execute. Unfortunately I don't have the necessary knowledge of ADB commands to be able to work out exactly what to put and would probably end up in a big mess! Especially the "whitelist part" :(

I have downloaded and installed microG apk on AOSP Extended Android 10 ROM without issue but want to use the location back ends - and apparently cannot unless in privapp folder.

I have magisk (not used to install microG) and TWRP installed. I am not using F droid installer. If I use the Systemiser Terminal app via magisk do you know if it will achieve the same end? I am a bit concerned about the 644 permissions.

Are there any other options I should consider?
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
Check the Magisk module "App Systemizer". Easy to use without ADB knowledge.
[Android Apps and Games] sabei:
Thanks that was the one I was referring to. Still concerned about the permissions however. I would prefer to use ADB and found many articles online I could follow but not sure how efficacious they are with Android 10 and the whitelist/permissions aspect.

I guess I should just try and see........:unsure:
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
Personally, I'm pretty much concerned about privacy and security as my own threads probably show. However, every apk that I've in priv-app has the permission "644" and its respective folder, in which the apk is located, has the permission "755".
[Android Apps and Games] sabei:
Sorry I wasn't very clear. I do not have any concerns about granting the respective permissions but in the mechanics of doing so as per the post I replied to originally. That is the creating and editing of an xml file etc.

I have enjoyed reading your threads on privacy and my views tend to mirror yours in that regard. (y)

[Android Apps and Games] n0me:
Anyone knows what's going on with MicroG? There's a new version for GmsCore (https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/releases/tag/v0.2.18.204714) for 14 days now, but GmsCore has vanished from F-Droid (yes, my repos are up to date)?! Other components are there (Fakestore, Services Framework), but not GmsCore. So it's not auto-updating. Is the v0.2.18.204714 faulty and got removed from F-Droid?

Can I just use the apk from Github (https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/releases/tag/v0.2.18.204714) and update it maually? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
Yes, i updated manually and it works. In microG.org it still shows the status "preview"? I think that's the reason for f-droid not updating.
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
I downloaded this version on 5th March, and ar least for me it's still available on F-Droid (via the µG F-Droid repo); please refer to attached screenshots.

But anyway you can certainly download the apk from Github and install it manually.

Does somebody of you know who is responsible for https://lineage.microg.org/ ? Is there a XDA Thread? Is marvin responsible? I would like to know who is in control of this infrastructure and if I want to trust it or not.
[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
While push notificatiion works in general (thanks to the dev!) I sometime see a delay. That is not a big thing for messages but for calls - that will be missed.

I guess some deep sleep might responsible for that? I already set the apps to "not optimzed", but it doesn't help.

I found in microG/Cloud messaging/extended settings there are times that can be adjusted for each kind of network. It is set to automatic and in Wifi this is 30min.

What exactly does it does?

Can this help to solve the problem of missing calls?

Thanks for your replies. I will try updating it manually. Still, I don't know why GmsCore is not listed in my F-Droid anymore while the other microG components are still there. It doesn't even show me that GmsCore is installed inside F-Droid under installed apps.

[Android Apps and Games] Bracher:
I have updated miroG via F-Droid to version 0.2.18.24714 (LOS 17.1) the patched Playstore Version is 20.9.20-all [0] [PR] 320416846. Nanodroid MicroG 23.1.2.20210117.

Strange thing when I open some apps a message pops up I should update playstore in order to work better with this app. Otherwise nothing happens the app works well. I stopped via Warden the tracking apps of google Playstore, in playstore settings I cancelled all notifications as well as automatic uddates. so nothing happens but it's a bit annoying
[Android Apps and Games] Bracher:
Unfortunately I had to update my tablet to 18.1. But in theis version most applicatrions can't get the permission to access background location - only during use. I tried your proposal "for Android 10 and newer, additionally: pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION" but nothing changed. As for the commands "pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" I got the message /system/bin/sh: pm.grant: inaccessible or not found
[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
I update my LOS18.1 and (not sure why) apps like SatStat or OSMAnd doesn't show me "coarse/rough" location (that one from local gsm location). Selfcheck looks fine. I even see a location in microG/location modules/ module for gsm based location), but it seems not to be passed though to apps.

Is this a general Android 11 or LOS18.1 issue?

I am pretty sure I have seen that before.

Permissions look fine so far, but I never used shell commands as mentioned above.

Anyone can give me a hint?

Let me add that fake traveller works. In SatStat it's position is shown blue - coarse. (Red is GPS, fine).

I notices that in opposite to previous time the "cycling" is different and better. Before the coarse pos was valid for around 5s after 25s (don't remember exact number) of no position. Now it is like 5s to 5s - so much better.

Hi guys, I flashed yesterday a new ROM (AOSP Extended -Android 11) for my Lenovo P2.

At the beginning I had some issues to have the MigroG Self-Check all working (basically I missed the permission to have the location running in the background, solved installing the app both as system and updating it as user).

Now I have all self checks marked correctly but still I can't get a GPS signal.

my location modules are

GMS Location Service

Mozilla Location service 2

Nominatim

in GPSTest I can see a bunch of satellites but none from my zone (Europe) and I rarely get connection, and if I do, it stays "red".

Any idea?
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
Go outdoors. MicroG has nothing to do with GPS.
[Android Apps and Games] joshthemajor:
Funny. And misleading. I don't think your statment "MicroG has nothing to do with GPS" is right. I believe if missconfigured can interfere with GPS and I want to know if I did something wrong.

I'm about to install microG for just a few app the require Google play services to be installed.

I don't require Gapps / Google Maps / Google Cloud Messaging / Google Play Store - I use https://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader to get the few apps I require from the play store.

Have I got this right:

1. Flash ROM (supports signature faking) - Clean install from TWRP.

2. Flash microG

3. Flash magisk

4. Install magisk manager.

Is that all I need to do?
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
You only need half of that. You don't need magisk. You don't need a flashable microG installer. It's only needed to make microG a system app. And system app is only needed for network location provider to register.

You need service core and gsfProxy and fake store from microG repo and give them spoofing permission
