[Android Apps and Games] -Happy Feet-:
OK nice info. I try it also
[Android Apps and Games] Dobsgw:
Don't worry I'm not a noob on this one.

Installed the latest apk over my system installed one (tried both /priv and data installs) and it still fails the same way.

I am on the latest unofficial and it still contains that library.

Also tried stable and one version previous unstable all the same result

Clean install of omnirom with microg and NLP flashed before first boot with ROM. All permissions from XML were granted.

I've set it up correctly but it still crashes.

If the new version doesn't work when it arrives then its a ROM issue.
[Android Apps and Games] -Happy Feet-:
Is there an newer version that would pass safetynet?
[Android Apps and Games] Dobsgw:
Not at the moment no. This project is great but I imagine very hard work to maintain due to Google's insistence on constant patches to safetynet and third party apps.

Safetynet shouldn't even exist...

And I guess safetynet isn't the main aim of the project so we will have some lag on fixes.

Still better than play services
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
The latest version fail but without the crash, so if there is still the same crash you have some old apk file left.
[Android Apps and Games] Dobsgw:
Weird clean flash from another ROM.

Either way no point to actually fix it until there is an apk with working safetynet support anyway. So on next version I'll have to do a clean install and see if I can make it work.

Thanks for trying to help its at least given me some clues on a solution
[Android Apps and Games] ThePhxRises:
I've got this installed and working great on my crDroid Sperry, but I accidentally left a few gcm apps installed while I installed microg, and none of them get notifications even after I uninstall and reinstall them. Namely Skype and Discord. Any solutions?

EDIT1: I've got Skype registered after some fiddling, but discord just won't work...

EDIT2: Discord works, but I had to install version 5.7.0 first, then upgrade. Will leave this here for anyone with this same problem.
[Android Apps and Games] .wojtek:
Have you cleared dalvik/atr cache after removing them?

[MENTION=3999488]MaR-V-iN[/MENTION]

what exactly happened if ROM doesn't support signature spoofing and I install microg?

last time I tried and I was able to login to may Google account

thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] dic1911:
it simply won't work, use xposed or tingle to patch your ROM.

.. And don't ping OP
[Android Apps and Games] wojtoo:
I know what ROM has it. FYI I compiled by myself for my purpose

But what happens if I don't have SS and login to Google ? Eg when only needed gms because APK ask for it

I don't want to use Xposed
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
Have you tried nanodroid patcher?
[Android Apps and Games] Setialpha:
You will likely run into issues, because you use try to login with Play Services, that have wrong signature. You're likely unable to login or atleast most apps with give you issues, as they'll report no Play Services being installed or unusable.
[Android Apps and Games] tiis:
Latest Twitch 6.2.0 pop-ups a warning that it will not run with outdated Play Services but continues to work. Using microG LOS for H850 May 3rd build.
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
Actually it depend.

Apps that doesn't check signature of Google Play Services (or that are specifically patched) will work correctly, while the others will behave as if you don't have GPS installed.

The Google login may work but I'm not sure.

The network location may work correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] .wojtek:
Same with telegram.
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
Use apps from f-droid
[Android Apps and Games] .wojtek:
The problem is that telegram is only 'semi' open-source and they do a very terrible job at updating the sources in their github repository so f-droid floss version is often behind.

(side rant: I fell for their "we are open source" mantra years ago …)
[Android Apps and Games] Dobsgw:
In fairness the app is completely open source.

The centralised servers are absolutely not hahaha

Same with openwhisper apps. Can't be helped I guess :(

Money has to come somewhere
[Android Apps and Games] .wojtek:
OT:

I would argue it's not open source - pushing a version-to-version commit every couple of months (longest stretch was a year if I recall correctly) only proves that they may simply drop pushes on a whim. And then FLOSS version is behind on the features/security…

Signal - AFAIR they have both client app and server OS, but it doesn't federation so having a server you deployed doesn't make much sense...
[Android Apps and Games] Mynacol:
That's why XMPP/Jabber is better!
[Android Apps and Games] DNikola:
Use this version of microg from pic.and everything will work..and use Galaxy Store and download apps they working fine
[Android Apps and Games] .wojtek:
I'm using this version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rk30b55jz9cbrr6/microg.png?dl=0

There was a problem at the beginning when I was using "stable" release but after installing the latest it went away. But couple of days ago it came back…
[Android Apps and Games] DNikola:
Im using latest over than month and no problems..
[Android Apps and Games] .wojtek:
Curious - there is already a bug about this: https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/issues/527 and I have the same log entry;

05-09 20:51:07.404 17398-17422/org.telegram.messenger W/GooglePlayServicesUtil: Google Play services out of date. Requires 12451000 but found 12221403
[Android Apps and Games] DNikola:
Hmm..i don't know why but from f droid will be work.anyway i don't use f-droid..i use Galaxy Store and download apps..they all working fine.only i have problem with gmail i can't fix sync.

What rom you use on phone?
[Android Apps and Games] .wojtek:
I have resurrection remix 5.8.5 / nougat 7.1.2. And f-droid version obvously doesn't require GMS/play services hence lack of problem, but the version lacks behind...
[Android Apps and Games] DNikola:
I have same rom..
[Android Apps and Games] DNikola:
What is happening here?
[Android Apps and Games] Mynacol:
Some ROMs only grant the signature spoofing permission to /system/priv-app = some system apps or only exclusively to microg

That is my guess
[Android Apps and Games] DNikola:
I need install gms core in priv-app ?
[Android Apps and Games] Dobsgw:
Yes
[Android Apps and Games] DNikola:
I installed now viber backup working but can't sync contacts and gmail..and signatrure spof again say disabled..
[Android Apps and Games] DNikola:
Do i need this all install in priv-app
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
No need to change installation. Everything checked in microG and no spoofing for a dubious checker app.
[Android Apps and Games] DNikola:
Hm i installed contacta sync in priv-app and enable premissions and reboot..after that contacts shows and i installed gmail and give premissions now gmail working..
[Android Apps and Games] DNikola:
Now no apps here..

Do i need this? I got notifications from all apps..
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
I doubt you get all notifications when device is in deep sleep. For that you need gcm.
[Android Apps and Games] Dobsgw:
You need to remove the apps and reinstall them again then when you open them you should get them showing in the registered apps section.

Worst case scenario nuke everything and download a flashable zip of Microg from either ale500's unofficial installer page or shadow53s no gapps website.

Both work fine and avoid a lot of the stress of moving apks around and setting permissions. Think of them as the equivalent for microg as a gapps package is
[Android Apps and Games] DNikola:
Thanks...i don't have too much apps i will reinatall .

Reinstall tested..working :)
[Android Apps and Games] wenna.speedy:
I cant sign in chrome in oreo (crdroid). play, keep, contact sync works ok.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
I'm not sure if this is where I should mention a possible MicroG bug. I asked in the lineageos 14.1 with MicroG thread with no help so I thought to try here.

I am running lineageos 14.1 with MicroG on a nexus 5 (along with some xposed modules). I also installed the patched playstore. Everything is working great until now.

The bug concerns the latest CNN app. It has worked fine under MicroG till now. But after latest CNN app update, the CNN app will not connect and I get this error (see attached image) asking me to update Google services. Obviously I don't want to update Google services! But MicroG is failing me here.

I restored the previous version of the CNN app ( CNN 5.13.1) from a tibu backup, and the error disappeared.

Updated CNN again and error returned. So it is caused by the latest version of CNN app.

MicroG problem?

Later, trying the updated CNN app again I also got the error in the second screenshot telling me that the intent verification filter service has stopped. Not sure if this is related.

Is this a bug the next version of MicroG might address?

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
@maybeme2: What's your microG Services Core version?
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Thank you for replying.

It says it is version 0.2.4-111-gf1cdb48

It came pre-compiled from

https://lineage.microg.org/

[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Did that help explain?

Are the developers aware of the problem?

Is there a later version?
[Android Apps and Games] Lanchon:
hi [MENTION=3999488]MaR-V-iN[/MENTION],

is there any official documentation on how google's uncertified device block affects microG users?

Google starts blocking “uncertified” Android devices from logging in

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/201...-uncertified-android-devices-from-logging-in/

i think this issue is important enough to warrant an entry on microg.org.

thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Google is continuing its attack on those not using Google Services.

I reported that after its last upgrade the CNN app would not work unless Google services were updated. Now, after my weather app updated, it too required a Google services update.

If the trend continues - and I suspect it will - microG will soon be ineffective as a Google replacement unless the developers figure out a counter strategy.

I hope they read this thread.
[Android Apps and Games] AmirKar:
what is the diffrence between this version to nanodroid ?

looks like nanodriod has more features and include more than just microg (it is included too)

would it affect about in app purchases ? cause i always getting errors transactions since google tracked me, would it fix it though?
[Android Apps and Games] Exabyter:
While I am quite sure that Google is trying very hard to marginalize Android users whose devices don't use Gplay, Gplay services and the general GMS frameworks, I'm not sure this app message about upgrading the version of Google services is an example of it.

I've never actually seen such a message myself, even though I often have over 200 apps installed on those devices. (Granted, most of those apps are probably not considered mainstream/popular apps, the majority of them are technical tools of some kind. But I do have some mainstream stuff like eBay and such.)

I have noticed on devices I still have limited Gapps on that the Gplay app and services are updating themselves at a frantic pace the last few months. (And often forcing device restarts without notice while the device is in standby, causing me in many cases to lose what I was working on in open apps at the time. Which was actually the last straw that led me to start testing microG, tbh.)
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
Nanodroid is just a microG installer. There are some others as well. They all bundle microG with other apps. Often with play store. All have latest version of microG with included. So no difference in core functionality.

Edit: there is a microG fork with updated gms version number to avoid apps ask for update

https://github.com/NoGooLag/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/ [MENTION=6910712]maybeme2[/MENTION]
[Android Apps and Games] AmirKar:
So what what should I install ?

I need a play store cause I wanna purchase and avoid

Google their errors while purchasing.

What do you recommend ?

By the way- should I use the frameworkproxy?

And what about the fake store? Or the other store? (If I gonna purchase ) or just is enough to install the nanodroid?

And I would still need to install some exposed for spoof signature?
[Android Apps and Games] Cookie Ninja:
If you are using paid apps from Google Playstore, there is a great likelihood of app FC / hanging at start due to app verification check, which will not work without a valid framework proxy, services framework, and in-app billing services. Others may correct me if i am wrong, but paid apps and MicroG do not go well together.
[Android Apps and Games] AmirKar:
I am talking about in app purchase, not purchasing an apps.

As I know it is a bit diffrenet.

So I will anyway need to install the frameworkproxy? And all what about the microg? Or nanodroid will just cover it all?

One more question- should I delete something before or just install and it is will replace all Google apps ?
[Android Apps and Games] Cookie Ninja:
read my text. In-App billing WILL NOT WORK.
[Android Apps and Games] AmirKar:
Got it.

In that case it is wont.

But any other idea if it not microg?

As I know there is some fix for it.. have to figure it out

just saw that -

F-Droid and it's privileged extension

modified Play Store to allow (in-)app-purchases with microG

this required the Play Store to be modified, see the > patch

alternatively Yalp Store can be installed instead
[Android Apps and Games] Setialpha:
It does with my modified PlayStore, bundled with NanoDroid.
[Android Apps and Games] AmirKar:
hey setia, pm me please :)
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Thanks.

But it is alpha rated which I am not knowledgeable enough to get into.

Why would microG not include whatever is needed to avoid apps asking for the Gplay update?
[Android Apps and Games] Dobsgw:
It does.....

It just hasn't been updated. A lot of work goes into the project so the maintainer will sometimes fall behind.

Microg - free open source project with little support

Google play services - backed by huge multi billion dollar company with money to just throw at keeping their software up to date.

We are playing the waiting game since we can't personally contribute anything to the project. You can definitely try the alpha version. Looks like they just added commits to the official microg to fix the issue for now. Should be fine :)
[Android Apps and Games] oF2pks:
Following updated (xda) portal https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-fix-device-not-certified-by-google-error/ , uncertified is only relevant for

complete

Gapps package and works for every one.

imho , it's just a financial strategy to make more billions :

-200$ charge for dev/map https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/8gkmeo/starting_google_maps_platform_arrives_with/

-full tracking remuneration https://www.theguardian.com/technol...es-google-data-harvesting-from-android-phones

-locked bootloader tight to Google Certification

-...

These are 'best' motivations for devs (and administrations) for real open-source derivations, and on android, MicroG (omnirom) is best you can find.

With PhoneSky (Playstore only & libs) it works 100% on latest aosp 8.1 patched.

[EDIT oc,except in app billing]

Actually, for me, the missing catch is Webview : whatever rom or provider you are using, it can suddenly be updated with FirebaseAnalytics embedded without any warning ; it would be great if [MENTION=3999488]MaR-V-iN[/MENTION] (or other) could patch MicroG apk with testing/notification for analytics in the activated Webview...

btw : does any know about ungoogled-chromium ports in android?
[Android Apps and Games] AmirKar:
but pheosky is working only at 8.1 version right ? like if i have lollipop it is wont work ?
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
The "alpha" releases [MENTION=3999488]MaR-V-iN[/MENTION] puts out seem to be more stable that most other projects' "release" code. I don't know why MaR-V-iN is so conservative in his release naming but it does seem to make people reluctant to use the latest code which is very stable and works better with most apps.
[Android Apps and Games] Exabyter:
Bromite is not technically a port, but it's partly based on ungoogled-chromium, is very privacy-oriented and they have instructions on how to replace your webview with it:

[Android Apps and Games] d1n0x:
It's a telegram group. AFAIK this is the only fork that has the updated signature, so no others will work. Also, it is only available through the Telegram group as far as I understand.

If anyone wonders over problems with yalp store (no network error) and possible connection to other issues as well https://github.com/yeriomin/YalpStore/issues/447
[Android Apps and Games] Exabyter:
Thanks. Apparently a bug in the network encryption library they are using. Seems they implemented a temporary workaround in v0.41 which enables some older protocols to fix the SSL/TLS handshake problem.

But F-droid doesn't appear to have that version yet, at least not for me.
[Android Apps and Games] andersjohansson81:
Yea there is a test version available on github, f- droid takes a few days more I guess.

Hi guys,

Running AEX 8.1 with microg on Lepro x722, I had serious problems to register Whatsapp on gcm. Finally, I did these steps to achieve it,from a guy on github:

backup WA chat

uninstall WA

set system clock back in time (before 2018-03-18)

install WA v2.17.351, do not run WA yet!

open WA app settings and enable all permissions

now run WA and register the user account

restore chat backup

WA should now register with microG GCM and be able to receive GCM push messages.

If you reset the system clock and WA cries that it has expired, you can do the following:

change system clock back to before 2018-03-18

adb install -r whatsapp_2.17.351.apk

run WA

Finally, I have it registered but unfortunately, on deep sleep I do not receive anything (microg core is NOT set to optimize battery), so the question is: is somebody able to work with whatsapp flawlessly? Sadly, for me, unless this is fixed, this problem means a no-go for microg and return back to the devil...
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
I've made best experience in AEX Oreo by installing WhatsApp without any GApps or microG. After disabling battery optimization for WhatsApp I even received messages in deep sleep.
[Android Apps and Games] Pedroles:
Thanks for the info. How is the life without Gapps? Many problems? What about the battery putting Wathsapp without optimization? I assume that you’re using Yalp?
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
Just playing around with Oreo. Will stay with nougat for my main device as long as security updates are flowing. I don't use microG for enabling Google stuff.
