Ahhh too bad, wanted to remove g-services and install this instead but unfortunately i cant find root method for my phone (crazy Japanese :D )

thx anyway for the info
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
You don't have Google's Play Services installed, do you?

If not, you can try a number of different flashable installers for microG instead. I've got my own at https://shadow53.com/android/downloads/

Dont pass the verification, algo using magisk module for that :/

[Android Apps and Games] OSheden:
Then it's not related to microG. Maybe your hosts file is not systemless for instance.
[Android Apps and Games] OSheden:
Is there a workaround now?

I decided to remove the last Google app on my phone i.e. Google Play Store. From now on I only use F-Droid and Yalp Store so I had to install FakeStore.

Is PhoneSky apk still mandatory to pass the online license checks?

Just wanted to express a huge thanks to Marvin, (as in the martian?) for releasing what must be an enormous undertaking to get this stuff working. And for me Everything is working great, everything does all I need it to at this point. It's so awesome having my battery life back as well as piece of mind. I'm working to ditch google from my life including gmail and so on. In the very near future I'm going to setup a nextcloud service at home, as well as, an email server, and so on so that I don't have to depend on anyone else for my cloud services. Nextcloud should be easy to setup on one of my linux boxes, and I'm building an AMD quad core 940 out of scraps for this purpose, or I may use this old dell xeon workstation I obtained when my office shutdown and was laid off work.. Either one would suit my needs. Okay way off topic now..

Bottom line, MANY MANY THANKS to MAR-V and anyone else who has contributed to this most difficult and needed endeavor.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.. Should I find gainful employment, I shall be donating to this cause.. It's one that needs to be supported as it can be used on any phone with a rom that supports spoofing, or xposed, so this more than anything I've found on xda in all my years of modding, deserves recognition and support above all else.
[Android Apps and Games] xdaq:
Yup! After setting the permission, it works for me. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] akoyaxd:
I can only say the same for me! Thank you Mar-V for all the time you invested in this!! I'm trying to get rid of Google as much as possible. I already use my Nextcloud for Contact and Calander Syncing and it works way better than I expected it. My biggest issues are some Paid apps, that need to be installed via Play Store to be "licenced". Yalp can't do this.
[Android Apps and Games] Vtrendzzy:
Just one question.

Does this work on lineage OS 7.1.2?

I did everything as per instructions. I even got the xposed module.

Problem is, it stays at "Just a sec".
[Android Apps and Games] gh0stzk:
Yes it works but u need to put in priv-app all the files
[Android Apps and Games] daktak:
On N and O, just gmsCore needs to be in priv-app
[Android Apps and Games] Vtrendzzy:
I'll report back. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] jackulus:
Yes, it works flawlessly. I followed [MENTION=7126506]Shadow53[/MENTION]'s instructions a few days ago - they are posted two pages back.

Being more detailed, I used NanoMod - it works great, the benefit is that after flashing almost everything is properly configured and operates properly. Trying to do it manually, I had some problems with microG apps versions.
[Android Apps and Games] jiojio:
google map can work in this method without gapp ??
[Android Apps and Games] jackulus:
Sure
[Android Apps and Games] griz.droidx:
Hey fellows, looks like I spoke too soon earlier, I thought everything was working but I was wrong.

I'm using CrDroid Android 7.1.2 with built in spoofing and I have installed the latest microg gms core and related apps from both f-droid and Marv's site directly. I've moved microg gms manually to /system/priv-app. I've installed all location nlp app's except for the gms one only because my phone service uses cdma. I originally installed mozilla and the wifi one, but to get things working I got em all. Anyway, Everything is check in the self check, it even says a location was found 10 seconds ago. So everything should be hunky dory. I've used an app called nlp test and selected the gms radio button to test the location mechanism which gave me the correct lat/long for my area rather quickly. However, any other app I try won't get a location using only network / battery saving location services.

Any suggestions here?

Also, one more question, I am going back to the RR rom today hopefully. Should I use the xposed module, magisk, or a patching method. I have access to both win7 and Linux boxes so it wouldn't matter which patching method. The one from ale*** seems easier, but haystack claims to be a better method. I've read ale's response to the haystack dev, where he refutes those claims but I figured I'd ask here. I don't want a war started, and prefer to stay away from xposed. Not because I've had trouble with it in the past, on the contrary, it's always worked great it's just that it seems like one more thing layered on top of the rom, and I already use substratum. perhaps that's my problem with microg ulp. I'll try disabling the overlay for microg and see what happens, but again, I'm getting a location with the nlp test tool. Just not in any other apps. This is my main concern, the latter issue is completely secondary and optional.

I tried searching this and google for hours doing research before and after this issue arrived. Because even though this is an easy process, it helps to be familiar with the process before beginning. Thanks for any help provided. If it's already been answered I apologize. I read one answer by Marv where he said to disable the dummy app in xposed, but I'm not using xposed in this rom. I like CrDroid but it's no longer being updated by anyone, and a couple people have been updating RR lately unofficially and those have worked well in the past. This is the main reason I want to change. But I want to get everything working with microg first. I don't want to go back to gapps, my next step is to install nextcloud on a PC to be used as a server I'm building or removing Win7 from this xeon workstation I'm typing this on and using Linux on it. Sorry I'm getting off topic.

Anyway, bottom line is everything is checked in the checking tool in microg, it reports a location from the last ten seconds probably from nlp test (the tool I installed to test location). But no other apps can get a location from microg which is installed to system. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
Last crDroid build for my phone was in August. I will probably switch to another ROM once Android 8 seems stable but in the meantime crDroid seems current enough. I am considering going to the LineageOS builds with microG built in or the ASOP Extended for Oreo. I used to build my own ROM to get spoofing support built in but if such a ROM already exists it is a lot easier to use it.

With respect to your network based location issue, what does the SatStat app show? My experience it that it accurately reflects both the GPS and the network based locations.

Also, could you be a bit more specific on which backends you are using. There are a couple of gsm backends including at least one that I don't think is maintained anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] pnsdhrn:
Dear MaR-V-iN,

Before installation this in my Redmi 2 Prime running with AOSP Oreo ROM,I would like to know the following things.

1.In Playstore whether the installed and purchased apps can be updated?

2.In Titanium BackUp,whether backef up apps can be restored with data and also can the datas be backed up periodically?

3.While installi g these modules whether rooting with Magisk is compulsory?My preference is SuperSu.

Opinions from experts are also expected.

Waiting with thanks

Correct installation of Microg

Hi,

So, I tried to install lineageOS with microg, but until now I guess it doesn't work.

What I did:

- Download the zip LineageOS bundled with microG

- Wipe everything

- Upload the zip and flash it

- Wipe delvik cache

- Check signature spoofing in the settings

- Install blankstore

- Install mozilla and nominatim back ends

- Check the boxes in microg settings and reboot

- Flashed the Map v1 zip

- Untick battery optimization as written in the installation guide

But I still get the google play services doesn't work message.. How do I solve this issue?

By the way blankstore doesn't work, so I installed some apps from yalp store.

Some info:

Device = OP2

Lineage version = 14.1-20171011

Not rooted
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
Not sure why the other back ends you used did not return a position, but the WiFi back end learns by passively listening to the GPS. So it is best used by setting your phone to high accuracy.

The GSM I wrote requires you download a database before it will return a position. The other GSM back end has a built in database but I don't think its database has been updated in a long time.

The Apple back end didn't work for me last I tried it but the Mozilla back end does work for me.

FWIW, I am working on a new back end that is sort of a follow on to the WiFi back end. A similar learning mechanism but supports GSM/LTE towers in addition to WiFi APs. It is getting pretty stable so I will probably publish it in the next month or so.

Oreo Version and Signature spoofing patch

Hi there,

After reading through this thread, it seems that people are experimenting with Oreo on this. Then I saw the bundled Version for latest Lineage nightlies.

However, is there any official status for Oreo? New signature spoofing patches? Would like to try for my own AOSP, but I seem to miss the proper documentation and patches.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Regards

Chris
[Android Apps and Games] Koloses:
There is Oreo patch that should work in pull requests for android_packages_apps_GmsCore on microg github.
[Android Apps and Games] griz.droidx:
From what I've read Oreo isn't ready for prime time yet at least los isn't.

---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

Well crap it was working off the database it builds for WiFi AP's.

Last night I patched an unofficial RR and stated over. Same location backends but nothing works. All the self check is fine except for actually getting a location it even says Location providers are setup and ready.
[Android Apps and Games] griz.droidx:
Okay o think I may have struck gold. Patched unofficial RR with haystack. That went great. If anyone wants it fur klte let me know. I'd put it up somewhere but wouldn't know where to start with giving credit to and don't want to be accused of anything.

Anyway I reinstalled microg and the same backbends as before. Here are what I believe to be my unique issues.

1. The Apple provider I just funny think works because sumeine else the guy who nicely replied to my first post suggested it may not, if it were it could easily provider location because of the amount of their devices out there.

2. The build your own WiFi provider requires you to basically build from locations provided via gps.

3. The Mozilla one couldn't work because I live where their database is empty. So Im going to ride around a few days with my GPS on to let their tool update their database/area.

This have to be why it doesn't work initially, then works, then not work when I change locations. . o could be wrong but this makes perfect sense to me.

Thanks for developing such awesome tools
[Android Apps and Games] Colossus96:
Some apps are asking for google service update like ampere. Can't use them without updating. But fdroid says there's no update for microg. Pls update the apps.
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
Are you using the 0.2.4-105 preview release? If not, then set your F-Droid app to allow for beta software and install it.

I am not sure why [MENTION=3999488]MaR-V-iN[/MENTION] hasn't marked those newer releases as stable as I've always found them very stable.
[Android Apps and Games] Vtrendzzy:
Yeah, It flawlessly worked but there's no location. I've checked backends of nlp. Still no location.

I only need location so that i can put this device in my car all the time and use it as a navigating tool. Plus if location works, then I'll put google assistant and make it more intuitive.

So please guide me how can I get location on this gapps free device.

OS : Lineage OS 7.1.2
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
What back ends do you have enabled, can you share screen shots of the microG self test and of your UnifiedNlp back end settings?

FWIW I've been using MicroG (and UnifiedNlp before microG was available) for in car navigation. I use both OsmAnd and Maps.me.
[Android Apps and Games] Vtrendzzy:
These are my screenshots. Please guide me if there's anything wrong or needs to be added.

My priority is location. Suggest me the best solution.
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
Your self-test screen shot shows that network location is not enabled. . . Go to your system settings and under location change your mode setting to "high accuracy".

Also, the UnifiedNlp not registered with system check box should be checked. For recent versions of Android that typically means that you don't have microG in /system/priv-apps/ and/or haven't rebooted since you moved microG to that location.
[Android Apps and Games] BootloopedMillennials:
The two issues from the screenshots is microg services core is battery optimized and not installed as a system app. microg services core should be in /system/priv app (also in /data/apps for ease with rom updates) with the correct permissions.

---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------

This is unrelated to quoted user.

I use local GSM Location Service and WiFi Location Service as location backends. Works great but maybe battery draining. This one phone will become a dedicated motorcycle GPS. It would be without a SIM card and rarely connected to WiFi. Putting the location settings in Device only, doesn't use these backends?
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
Some time ago, in their infinite wisdom, the Android project changed to their current wording which can be slightly misleading in this context.

"High accuracy" means using GPS and network based location

"Battery Saving" means using network based location

"Device only" means using GPS only

The second confusing part, is that the Local GSM and WiFi backends provide "network based location" without using the network. So they will only provide locations in "Battery Saving" and "High Accuracy" modes of location operation.

In the case of the WiFi backend, the on-phone database is build by passively monitoring the GPS when that is enabled by some other app. So it works best when "high accuracy" is enabled. That way it can build its database when the GPS has a good position and then later be able to give you a good position when you first start navigation before the GPS has it first fix.
[Android Apps and Games] BootloopedMillennials:
Thanks for the explanation.
[Android Apps and Games] Vtrendzzy:
As you advised me, I flashed the Nanomod. So is it not in priv folder? Should I upload some more screenshots with system/priv/ folder showing?
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
I would hope that Nanomod did the right thing but since I don't use it, I don't really know what it does.
[Android Apps and Games] Setialpha:
It does, but some roms have packages that conflict with unifiednlp like com.qualcomm.location or others.
[Android Apps and Games] Vtrendzzy:
I'm uninstalling nanomod then.

I'll start from scratch. If it's not much to ask of you, would you guide me in short with steps I'll have to do to get location?
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
[MENTION=4187311]Setialpha[/MENTION], the creator of NanoMod, confirmed that it does things correctly.

If you want a guide, though, I have one on my website at https://shadow53.com/android/no-gapps/setup-guide/ with a section for setting up UnifiedNlp and one for microG as a whole.

If you insist on not using NanoMod but want a zip to install, I provide my own zip for microG as well. There isn't much difference between mine and NanoMod, except I think [MENTION=4187311]Setialpha[/MENTION] uses his own patched and compiled version of microG while mine uses the release from microg.org.
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
Not sure you need to start over.

One question did occur to me: When you enabled the Mozilla backend did you also assure that it has the position permissions it needs to run?

That is, however, secondary to getting the two check boxes in your microG self test to be checked. One of those appeared to be simply a matter of proper system settings.

[MENTION=6204913]n76[/MENTION] Is the gsm provider app you wrote work with phones that can use GSM but use CDMA as their network provider? I'm on big red because of my location on a state line. There are CDMA towers in both directions but not gsm in Virginia until I drive miles away. I'm thinking it won't because I'm not actually using a gsm provider so I'm thinking it won't work because the modem flashed is for big red. Again I'm just guessing. Thanks for your past assistance.
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
I don't know the answer. Big red, like the rest of the industry, is making the transition to LTE. The back end should be able to detect those Big Red LTE towers with a Big Red modem. But you will also need a database that contains those towers and I don't know if the usual stumbling apps for Open Cell ID or Mozilla collect that data.

So I guess the answer is maybe.

[Android Apps and Games] Mynacol:
Simple rule: Don't. Use. Titanium. Backup. For. Restoring. Apps.

After they are installed by hand, app data can be restored with TB
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
If you restore data they will not work, they need a clean install after microG (otherwise there is a procedure to force re-registration but I have never tried it)
[Android Apps and Games] pro.aggro:
Ok. Never mind. I will do a clean install and only restore the data. But why is Signal working without problems?

Edit:

It's working now. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] :
Some applications do check if their connection to GCM has been lost (e.g. after restoring them with Titanium Backup) and try to re-register themselves afterwards. Other do not.
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
If Signal does not detect GCM, I believe it falls back to a WebSocket-based connect instead. It's possible that happened, or it reregistered
