I've tried downgrading the LocalGSMNLP to 1.4.3, 1.4.4 and restoring to 1.4.5. No luck..

Upgraded to 0.2.3-6, still no luck =(

Go to unified nlp thread
[Android Apps and Games] pokemonnogo:
Hi,

I'm running CM13 without gapps.

I've been using UnifiedNLP for location with LocalGSMLocationProvider as backend.

Maps.me as my map app.

To install gmscore, I uninstalled UnifiedNLP and installed the following:

1. FakeGApps Xposed Module

2. microG Services Core

3. microG Services Framework Proxy

Location on maps.me works fine.

StatStat shows an accuracy of 20 m.

I still get the "GPS Signal Not Found" Message on Pokemon Go.

Could you guys share your setup/settings? Do you have FakeStore also installed?

Thanks!

pokemonnogo
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
Which version of microG gmsCore? From other posts it seems you need the latest "preview release" of 0.2.3-6-gbee7bc9 for Pokémon Go to work.
[Android Apps and Games] pokemonnogo:
Yes. I read through the thread and I'm using the latest release.

some people are not able to play pokemon go so i have just made it easy for them by putting it in a zip
[Android Apps and Games] manojtpoulose:
I like to know about the working of gdrive, contact and calander sync,mail,location, playstore , will it work ? I don't need all to be working. I am asking just to know..
[Android Apps and Games] antigapps:
after flashing i don't have a messaging app also i have google play. not trying to be needy or unthankful but if i wanted gapps i could just flash them
[Android Apps and Games] blastagator:
I didn't install transport apk. I had searched thread and installed the contacts apk. Will try again tonight with the transport apk. Thanks for info :)
[Android Apps and Games] shantam3108:
Yeah It works and auto syncs too.. Only first time you need to manually sync
[Android Apps and Games] blastagator:
Awesome! Calendar doesn't seem to want to sync, but I'll live without that. Thanks guys.

edit: Did the original play store stop working? I installed the latest one from opengapps and it wants my logon. When I under my logon the message changes to "Sorry..." and then hangs.

edit2: Google Voice works :)
[Android Apps and Games] AnonVendetta:
So now I know why I got an FC when trying to sync with Google Contacts Sync Adapter. But I'm not willing to install Backup Transport to make it work. What I did was make a backup of the data/cache of Contacts and Contacts Storage (when my device still had GApps), then restore it later. I can always add new contacts locally and import/export vcards, and sync with cardDAV.
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
I recommend QKSMS, it's both one the best messaging apps while being lightweight at the same time.
[Android Apps and Games] Young881208:
Can anybody reply me?

Now vision is 0.2.3. When the new vision release ,will it auto update?Or can anybody teach me how to update it?

Forgive my poor English
[Android Apps and Games] jerryshaw12:
Open microG website, copy microg repo link, download f-droid, go to repositories, press plus button, paste it, disable f-droid repo (optional) refresh f-droid and it will download app list, you can find microg in installed menu which called Âµg UnifiedNlp (no GAPPS)

Or you can just manually update it to download from microg website
[Android Apps and Games] AnonVendetta:
Thanks to [MENTION=7231667]Aaran Stone[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5358804]moriel5[/MENTION] for Action Launcher and QKSMS. I had been looking for a version of AL that was newer than v3.7.3. And an low-resource open source replacement for my stock messaging app, which always insists on starting at boot and chewing through my battery (despite only using it occasionally).
[Android Apps and Games] shantam3108:
Yeah normal. Play store doesn't work but theme ready play store Works
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
Try the Boxer calendar from the CM13 C-Apps, it also looks awesome.

Or use the standard CM13 Calendar.

Note: For the Boxer Calendar, you may need to insert the Boxer permission found in the C-Apps package to /system/etc/permissions and mount as 644, I didn't check if it works without.

Alternitively, put it in the vendor partition, however I don't know whether it will be in /vendor/etc/permissions or /vendor/permissions.
[Android Apps and Games] Young881208:
But I don't have UnifiedNlp in fdroid ,but I have microG service core in fdroid.Is it the same?

And when I disable f-droid repo and open fdroid repo it shows UnifiedNlp (no GAPPS)

My UnifiedNlp setting is in microG setting.And it works fine.

I don't know how to post a photo
[Android Apps and Games] jerryshaw12:
Check the repo name, if it's microg f-droid then it's microg

[Android Apps and Games] shantam3108:
Not all versions of play store are working. Tried keeping in system priv app too. While signing in it says sorry while contacting to Google servers and I follow exact same procedure.
[Android Apps and Games] Aaran Stone:
did you try my zip
[Android Apps and Games] shantam3108:
I have it working. I was just saying that when I was trying the latest playstore version didn't work for me. But when I flashed theme ready playstore it worked flawlessly

What does microG afford us?

After reading through the OP, and feverishly scanning the microG website, I'm left without an understanding of what this app affords us. Initially I thought this project was a drop in replacement for GmsCore (etc) that was completely free of Google (e.g. BYOS). Yet the more I dig in it seems like it's not.

While I prefer open source over closed source all day long, if we're still phoning home to Google and sending all communications/metadata through GCM what has this afforded us exactly?

I hope this comes off as a genuine question/concern because it is. This isn't meant to downplay the effort here - just trying to better understand who the target audience is. Are the people using this misunderstanding that the project has freed them of Google? Are there other benefits I'm missing?

s13
[Android Apps and Games] shantam3108:
Gms core is very light weight compared to heavy Google play services which drains battery like hell if not kept in check with amplify. Gms core hardly consumes any battery. It let's us use play store without play store services. Thus it's easy or battery ram and power. Also many apps rely on Google play services to run although they have no use for it this Google play services runs in background keeping device awake. In contrast gms core doesn't do any of that. It just redirects the app to make it feel it's using play services and that just it but doesn't drain battery in background
[Android Apps and Games] sensati13:
Ok, thanks for sharing. So this is in no way a privacy/freedom alternative but something meant to reduce memory usage and increase battery life. Makes sense and can see the benefit to those who do not mind the Google tracking thing. Ironically I did come across more than a few posts describing how microG drained battery faster than gApps by a large percentage, but maybe those were simply development/growing pains that have been resolved.

With that said, OP, would you consider changing your messaging?

e.g. "microG GmsCore is a FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software) framework"

This is misleading for the folks that have come here looking to move away from Google tracking. Not to say this couldn't be construed as an "accurate" statement, it's still misleading. The "framework" must include the server side (Google) in this case and it is in no way shape or form "FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software)".

Anyway, I come in peace, not a demand, but please consider it. It will save others in my boat many hours of research only to find out this isn't what we were looking for.

Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] shantam3108:
Google cannot track any of our location with this. With micro g none of our location activities or the apps that request it is sent to google. You can Completely get rid of Google. Its just that we want to download apps from playstore without Google services this creates a unique identifier for Google services. It's not misleading. Google cannot track anything with this. You can download apps from playstore but cannot purchase it with this. You can consider it a loop hole to download app and access apps that require Google tracking without actually tracking by Google

---------- Post added at 07:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------

Also there are some people like me who have contacts synced with Google so need some support with Google. If u want you can use other means to restore contacts to phone. Yes one aspect of this it reduces memory consumption and is light weight and battery friendly and another aspect of this is to spoof Google servers that you are using Google play services. So in short yes you are completely moving away from Google.
[Android Apps and Games] MaR-V-iN:
microG itself is completely free software. However it is possible to use certain services that are not. This is the same as with your Browser: you can optionally decide to use proprietary services from your open source client.

However for some services there is no possibility to provide a custom server, because it is technically not possible. For example, the way Google designed push notifications, it is not possible to use a third party server, even if we would provide one.

Initially, microG was not build because Play Services' battery- and memory-usage, but because of the privacy and freedom values you were seeking. It does not come with any tracking and all features that contact Google servers have to be manually activated or actively confirmed. Wherever possible, we use open source pendants, for example the Maps implementation is based on OpenStreetMap instead of Google Maps.

As time passed, Play Services started to bloat even more and users have found another reason to use microG. Due to its compatibility, even most Google apps can run with microG GmsCore. Although it was not the original intention, the ability to use less Google services is already a nice feature and this allows users to move from Google to fully free software step-by-step.
[Android Apps and Games] silentvisitor:
More and more people need to know about MicroG but I doubt if it can be advertised by users. Google might shut this project down then :(

You're doing an awesome job [MENTION=3999488]MaR-V-iN[/MENTION] :good:

I would like to know how license check is taken care of. Can you please pm me? (I hope pm is not against XDA rules). I used to use raccoon however more and more apps started using license check and I've to have play store for that.
[Android Apps and Games] sensati13:
Hi MaR-V-iN, thanks for chiming in. This makes a lot of sense and is what I originally "visualized" when first stumbling upon this project. After scouring both the net and the microG website I was unable to come up with a list of components/toggles for microG that do not use a Google server and/or phone home to Google to function. This would be awesome, is this really possible? Is there a wiki page that discusses this? I've tried digging though the code but it's easy to get overwhelmed, so I figured asking the creator would be best.

I'd genuinely love to see those steps, again after scouring the net I'm not sure how to take those steps without my phone communicating with Google.

FWIW I undertook the process of using CM13 without gApps as a daily driver. I've been overly successful but this project is still very intriguing for the "FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software)" proposition mentioned in your description. I'm just having trouble understanding how to use it in that manner.

s13
[Android Apps and Games] jujjk:
Seems like microG is having problems with CM13 stock. I wiped my phone and installed latest Blisspop and it's working flawlessly with the setup you mentioned. microG 0.2.3-6, FakeStore, FakeGapps, LocalGSMBackend with WiFi Scanning enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
For the boxer calendar and permissions, I created a little bash script that would download the C-Apps zip, unpack it, remove anything you did not want, and repack it. It could be used to keep only the Boxer apps and permissions. I haven't tested it with the Marshmallow version of the C-Apps, but it's here if anyone wants to try it:

https://github.com/Shadow53/ModCApps
[Android Apps and Games] wdevil12:
Mine is AOSP based Dirty Unicorns but the problem similar to the post above occurs. is Pokemon Go really working without problems with your setup?
[Android Apps and Games] MaR-V-iN:
I strongly discourage you from using the so called C-Apps package. It is basically the same as G-Apps: a proprietary software package full of user tracking and a walled garden to make people dependent on a single company and their products. Cyanogen Inc. is doing no better than Google in that manner! Or to phrase it like McMaster would do: We get you out of Google's tyranny, just to put you in to Cyanogen's tyranny.

Don't think you are driving any better by replacing Google Calendar with Cyanogen's proprietary calendar.
[Android Apps and Games] wdevil12:
Couldn't find the solution, sadly. will have to try with gapps. People are so interested in pokemon and this might the biggest reason of leaving microG in coming days if it doesn't support the game.
[Android Apps and Games] Dr_DjEnder:
I got it working how ever when you say stock I think no root (maybe) and definitely no xposed framework... But I got I working on my phone with cyanogen 13 only module I really needed was the signature spoofer module and compatibility one for one reboot for UnifedNlp to register or 'bind' into system after that it has yet dis attach
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
That's actually why I stopped using the Boxer apps in that package (plus the fact that I had to pay for Exchange support - apparently the AOSP Exchange connector isn't good enough). The program - after waking up this morning I realized it was a jar file, not a bash script - is meant more for people who don't mind using proprietary solutions. And, actually, you can remove the apps that outright track you - like CyanogenStats - before repacking. And like I said previously, you can tell the program to only keep Boxer, which removes ALL other packages from the zip, including everything Cyanogen.

Boxer itself is someone that Cyanogen partnered with and whose apps can be downloaded/purchased on the Play Store. Getting it from C-Apps means getting one of those $10 purchases for free. So in my mind that's a little different from the G-Apps package. Still, this is the microG thread, so I suppose we should return the topic back to that.

(If someone tries the ModCApps.jar from the GitHub I linked to, they should inspect the zip file and PM me if it missed anything in the new release of C-Apps so as not to clutter this thread more)
[Android Apps and Games] barturblits:
Anyone some more info on the proprietary c-apps? It seems I have an apache licensed audio fx but unknown/prop? licensed gallery3d and theme chooser in my ROM. Are there different apps with different licenses but with the same name?
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
The CM13 Gallery and AudioFX are way better though than the Cyanogen counterparts.

I'll try the modded zip when I'll have time.

Can't promise when that'll be, though.

And about Cyanogen's behaviour, I am also angry with them, however, I have yet to find a foss calendar which fits my needs and wants, without weighing too much.
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
Just curious, what needs and wants do you have? I might be missing out on some features that if I know about them will become "must haves" for me.
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
Not much, and not necessarily.

And on the wants list, not everything has an answer yet.

Needs:

Reliability

Standard calendar and reminder functions

Light on system resources

Small apk size

No dependencies on GApps, C-Apps, and the like.

Wants:

Recurring alarm tone (like on my Nokia C2-01)

Month mini-view (like in Google Calendar)

Nice Material design

Advanced calendar functions

I have no qualms using closed-source and/or paid apps, however I do prefer open-source/foss apps.
[Android Apps and Games] V4lve:
XDA labs tells me I ha e this installed on my unrooted Moto G2 running stock Marshmallow. I don't recall installing it and not sure I would be able to anyway. Is that a false positive?
[Android Apps and Games] dic1911:
microG has the same package name as the original Google Play Services, so it's normal
[Android Apps and Games] MaR-V-iN:
It is rather easy to find if apps are proprietary. If you can find the source code and it does not reference proprietary libraries or binary blobs, the app is very likely free software. For CyanogenMod related stuff: Try to find the app on CyanogenMod GitHub. If it's not there, the app is very likely proprietary. Now open the app's repo and select the appropriate CM version at branch (upper left). In the list of files, open Android.mk. If there are any references to "ambientsdk" or "play-services", the app is at least partly proprietary.

However, for the apps you mentioned (AudioFx, Gallery and ThemeChooser) there are two versions: The proprietary "Cyngn" version and the open-source CyanogenMod version. In most cases your ROM should come with the open-source version. For other apps bundled with CyanogenMod-based ROMs, you might want to check out/follow the list of blocked apps in freecyngn.

Yes it's working just fine.

[Android Apps and Games] duminduweera:
Thanks for the Zip :) Telephone, and SMS gave me FC on everyboot after I install xposed and restarted. Before that, I had no issues.

I edited the Zip and removed Telephone and SMS, and its working great now:)

2 question though:

1) could you tell me where you got the CalanderSync and ContactsSync apks, I tried to insert the latest ones from OpenGapps pico, but didnt work.

2) Why do we need Google Backup Transport ?

Thanks a lot again.
[Android Apps and Games] Dr_DjEnder:
Yes install the latest core unifiednlp and a backend maybe Mozilla... And a few exposed modules there are two for nlp try both till it binds to the system... Then fire up maps to test it then try go
[Android Apps and Games] d3ighty:
Isn't unifiednip integrated in microg? Also I can only find one xposed module
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
It is. The two NLPs are probably referencing the GAPPS and NOGAPPS versions. The NOGAPPS version is the same as the one in microg: it is meant to replace GMS core and use the same package name. The GAPPS version is meant to exist alongside a proprietary G-Apps installation with a different package name. AFAIK you only need the FakeGapps closed module.
[Android Apps and Games] Dr_DjEnder:
I'm quite new to this so it maybe integrated but I always install off of apks on the microg website... Most of what I know is from tinkering.... Try just nlp in the search inside the xposed framework Manager thing..

Small side note enable beta and experimental builds on the xposed manager so you get more recent modules for nlp

Im using the one in the screen shoot
[Android Apps and Games] Motoko-Kusanagi:
Hi,

I'm also trying to get Pokémon Go running on my phone.

I have installed:

- Xposed

- Xposed FakeGapps module

- microG Services Core 0.2.3-6-gbee7bc9 from F-Droid

- microG Services Framework Proxy from F-Droid

- MozillaNlpBackend from F-Droid

However, I'm still getting the "GPS signal not found." error in the game.

I guess I have missed to configure or install something?

Here are screenshots of some bits and bobs: http://imgur.com/a/z4MxC Maybe they tell you something, since you are more experienced.

Best regards,

EDIT:

I managed to fix it. I installed FakeStore from F-Droid and that's it! However, https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/wiki didn't say anything about it, but https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/wiki/Installation did. Furthermore, the link on https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/wiki to https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_UnifiedNlp/wiki doesn't work. I guess I should have read the documentation more carefully, and I would have saved myself from some hassle.
