[Android Apps and Games] Dead-end. E:
Did you ever resolve this? I'm having the same issue, I'd already added my Google account either via Play Store or Gmail, but I'm brought back to the Set up email page, or it didn't recognise that my accounts already added and I can't select it from a list.

Does anyone know how to resolve this please?
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
It is probably my fault, I will investigate and fix it when I have some time.

I don't use the Gmail app, so this is just a guess: after Gmail is installed, does it have permission access to Contacts? I believe that is the permission required for accessing accounts such as the Google one.

Install microg unofficial and Google sync addon. And enable contact permission for chrome and Gmail.

Hello xda. I just got a new smartphone, Motorola Moto Z play, on stock rom 6.0.1

Do you know if deleting all google related apps, such as the clock (did'nt knew it was from google) would be advised in order to install microG ? On my previous S5 mini it was an easy task but I'm scared of bricking my new device ; I only uninstalled youtube for now, and disabled all the rest except Google Now and "Google".

The easiest solution would be to flash a custom rom without gapps, but every rom out there is based on Nougat and I can't use Android without Xposed. Sorry if my post was unrelated somehow but I'm conflicted and mostly scared of doing anything wrong since I just got this new phone and I don't want to put it in jeopardy :(

I did'nt find Z play users in the search fonction so that's why I'm asking.

Live Location sharing

Hi everyone, is the live location sharing feature of Google Maps working for anyone? For me Maps just closes, when I try to enable it...
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
Google Play Games is a known thing.

Don't know anything about Photos.

If folks insist on using a bunch of Google Apps why not just use Google's Play Services (i.e. a normal gapps package) and be done with it.

Anyway, there's a list of which apps work (to some degree) and don't.

[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
I'm personally using microG because I didn't want to use anything by Google i.e. unable to reproduce your issue.

And I fully concur with @marcdw's statement just above... Needless to add something.
[Android Apps and Games] gorillus:
Well I actually asked for people using Maps and not for people not using it - would be kinda pointless, huh?! If you don't want to use anything by Google, so why are you using MicroG or even Android? There are some things made by Google, all of us are using (Why should you read this thread otherwise?). For me it's about reducing them to only the ones I really use. There are other people with other reasons... It's a personal decision
[Android Apps and Games] FSadino:
You are using Android made by Google ;)
[Android Apps and Games] drakonizer:
The Android Open Source Project is developed by the Open Handset Alliance, a group of OEMs LED by Google. Even though Google does most of the development, AOSP is generally free of Google bloat. This is where microG comes in.
[Android Apps and Games] gorillus:
MicroG is connecting to Google... Less Google would mean to not use MicroG ;) For network location UnifiedNLP would do the job. All the other functions are there to provide the basic Google-Services-features. So I don't see why someone would use MicroG, if he doesn't want to use Google-Apps or apps, that make use of Google-Services...
[Android Apps and Games] Mynacol:
I'm using microG WITHOUT internet, this means I have blocked all internet connections for all microG applications. I enjoy therefore UnifiedNlp and "google" services some apps need/tend to need without any google servers:victory:
[Android Apps and Games] drakonizer:
As elaborated in the post above me, microG does not imply use of Google services.

In fact, the main intention is to duplicate the APIs present in Google Play Services, which are required by some apps to function. Not all of these APIs are necessarily connecting to Google and sending data.
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
Just to add to your wise words: Gratefully, some APIs will never be implemented in reference to the implementation status.

https://shadow53.com/no-gapps/setup-guide/
[Android Apps and Games] Dede525:
It did not work... actually i cannot set my google account. should I install the microg gsm in priv-app? (I think so but I don't understand how to do it) Any help?
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
I can assure you that it should work, since I use the exact same zips. Maybe you should take a look at https://shadow53.com/no-gapps/faq/playstore-not-loading/
[Android Apps and Games] Dede525:
I did as you explained but I it is still stuck on "just a sec" screen... I gave the play store all the permission that where under "permissions" in the app screen.

Even if I go in accounts and try to set a google account from there, it stuck on "just a sec".

As I just wiped and flashed the rom I don't have any firewall or anything that could prevent the playstore to connect... that's why I thought that maybe I had to install the microg gsm in priv-app rather than just clicking on it and tap on intall .

Any suggestion?:rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
Did you look at that link? It suggests checking that you have Device Checkin and Google Cloud Messaging enabled. That's required to get the Play Store working
[Android Apps and Games] Dede525:
Ye I did... I did follow what you said in that link. Ithe thickboxes are checked, both of them. Also in self-check i gave all the permissions to microg and it checked all the thickboxes (just the last two in unifield Nlp are not checked)
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
Try closing out of microG and the Play Store completely, then try again.
[Android Apps and Games] Dede525:
tried... Rebooted and tried again.. nothing change. I cannot set the google account at all.

I tried using your zip with play store and microg included as a system app, but still nothing changed :(
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
1) How did you patch your system for signature spoofing?

2) Are you sure it worked?

3) How did you install microG previously?

Or, what may be easier is to do a clean flash of your ROM and do the patching and microg installing from a clean slate
[Android Apps and Games] :
You can try NanoMod MicroG package and NanoMod patcher for signature spoofing following a clean flash of your ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] Dede525:
I did it through Xposed... and I think that worked because in the "self-check in" of microg settings, it has a thickbox checked for "system spoofs xignature".

Anyway, i am gonna reflash everything and try directly with your zip from 0
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
Alright. Be sure to flash Xposed too, then.

I personally use Tingle by ale5000 from my computer to patch my system. Works great, but does have to be reapplied after every update before the reboot
[Android Apps and Games] Dede525:
Alright. It worked... I might have messed up something during the first installation. Thanks a lot.

However I noticed that the gsm core apk you provid in the zip is different from the latest one that is on github, and in the latest one there is not "battery optimization ignored" . What is that? does it have anything to do with Doze maybe?:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
Ohhhhhhh.

It all makes sense now.

You were using an outdated version of microG. That version on GitHub is the latest "stable" release while my zip includes the latest "preview" release. The "stable" release pretends to be an older version of Play Services and causes apps to prompt you to update or not work at all. The "preview" release is stable (i.e. doesn't crash), pretends to be the newest Play Services, and has newer features.

TL;DR: Use the "preview" version of microG from https://microg.org/download.html (Click the arrow next to the download button and select the latest preview version)

And yes, that is an option to add a Doze exception for microG. Highly recommended if you have apps using Google Cloud Messaging for notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] Dede525:
Good to know...So if I use apps like force doze, I should remember to put in the whitelist the microg... Thanks again!

Edit: i still have problems though... I just can connect to play store but not to the other google stuff. I cannot connect to chrome nor gmail... is that normal?
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
Are contact permissions granted for chrome and gmail?

You might want to consider to install the Google Sync Add-on from here.
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
I have done some improvements to Tingle, it would be nice if you could try it and report back if it work for you now (currently the improvements aren't yet complete for mode 3).
[Android Apps and Games] karti16:
Google opinion rewards force closing. Any solution.
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
Generally the answer to "it's crashing, can you fix it?" is "I need more information."

A logcat would be huge to figuring it out. Maybe it needs to be granted a permission it's expecting. Maybe you need to enable something in microG. Maybe something it needs isn't implemented yet. Hard to say without logs.

[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
I've never had problems with newer Play Store versions but I always flash it (when I was using Them Ready or TBO versions). Otherwise I would just replace the existing one with a new one (like the one from NanoMod which the dev has made available a time or two).

Anyway, see if this helps.

Our devices are GT-i9305. Just by accident this morning, manually updated the Play Store on both devices to v7.9.90.Q-all[0][PR] 159479238, and it's running without any problems.

Procedure I used:

Download from apkmirror.com

Rename the file to Phonesky.apk

With any root explorer, move this file to /system/priv-app/Phonesky and replace the "old" Phonesky.apk

Ensure Phonesky.apk has permissions "644"

This is way late but just wanted to say I finally got around to putting CarbonROM on my Axon 7. You may be right. I got the exact same behavior/results as you. Flashed a couple of times with NanoMod-microG and ale5000's installer.

ROM not compatible with this UnifiedNlp package (though it has signature spoofing support in general). So we get the two boxes always unchecked.

Certainly! I'm running RR-N-v5.8.3 on a Samsung GT-i9305. System is much smoother with microG and without GApps. I don't use any Google applications at all except the Play Store. Battery endurance solely depends on yourself in my opinion but at least I personally achieved an improvement. GApps-free now for nearly six months. Here is the story how I started and continued.
[Android Apps and Games] zeeBomb:
Wow that's awesome! Are you using anything with magisk like nanoMod to help spoof? I guess I have to full wipe in order for this to work right?
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
If you are running a system with google apps installed, you'll definitely want to clean flash your ROM. You can use TitaniumBackup to back up your app data, text messages, etc, but in order for the apps that use GCM to work, you can't restore their data until they've registered with microG. Otherwise they may never register with GCM.

People tend to use either the NanoMod patcher or ale5000's Tingle script to patch their systems. Personally, I prefer Tingle.

You can find my own guide for setting up microG at https://shadow53.com/no-gapps/ as well as flashable zip downloads to help with installation.

Note: If you use the one with the bundled Play Store, you may run into an issue where it doesn't have the signature spoofing permission. You'll have to run the command 'pm grant com.android.vending android.permission.FAKE_PACKAGE_SIGNATURE' as root on your device to fix that. I'm currently looking into a solution.

The Play Store my zips use has been patched by the author of NanoMod to allow making purchases on the Play Store without it crashing, so it does not have the same signature as the official app.
[Android Apps and Games] zeeBomb:
Thank you so much. One more question, what is GCM and I heard it's possible to disable it? Where can I find tingle?
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
GCM stands for Google Cloud Messaging and is the method most apps in the Play Store use to receive notifications. It's generally better for battery life than each app polling in the background and is disabled by default in microG. It's recommended to enable it though because the microG implementation strips out a lot of metadata and, without it, the apps using GCM won't receive notifications until the app is opened.

You can find Tingle at https://github.com/ale5000-git/tingle It requires Java and Python to be installed, if I remember correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] zeeBomb:
Is it me, or I can't find the gmscore and the proxy for it? But I did manage to find the other ones.
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
It's probably you... where were you looking for the apps? They are available on https://microg.org/download.html (Use the dropdown for gmscore to select the latest "preview" version. "Stable" is too old). There are also a few installers scattered around, including my own.
[Android Apps and Games] Hs Games:
Great app! Be sure to install
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
Some time ago I have updated the readme of Tingle with instruction to install dependencies on Linux and macOS (in case someone have problems finding them).

On Windows 7-Zip is already included and it miss just Python, Java (only JRE is needed) and adb.

Thanks in advance, I had not followed the project for about a year or so. I only use Playstore, I always flash the pico open GAPPS.
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
Even if you only use Google Play Store (like me too) your ROM must be absolutely GApps-free prior to using microG.

Maybe it helps how I achieved this; meanwhile I use Nanomod but MaR-V-iN's procedure from the OP works excellently, too.
[Android Apps and Games] freegame619:
I will try it out and report back, thanks for the help.
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
The contacts sync adapter expects to be a system app and have the necessary permissions, so it doesn't know to ask for them. The Backup Transporter app also appears to be necessary for syncing with Google - it's possible that that is the incompatible app.

Contact me via PM and we can help each other figure this out.

EDIT: I was right, the backup transporter was the incompatible app. I have modified my build scripts to create separate zips for lollipop, marshmallow, and nougat. Try downloading the marshmallow one at https://shadow53.com/no-gapps/downloads/#google-sync-adapters and let me know if it works this time around.

[Android Apps and Games] vladniko:
I've been doing a lot of reading and have had no luck. Here's the thing. My notifications aren't coming thru at all. Not my GCM apps, or my non GCM apps. For example, google voice wont push a notification when I get a new message. Inbox by Google, which wasnt registered for GCM when it was working fine with GAPPS, isn't pushing notifications at all. I have to either manually refresh for emails or resync my google account in settings. Also, the official reddit client will not send notifications either. I am using microg 0.2.4-103-gd9e86d9 with droid guard helper installed as a user app as it was force closing when it was installed as a system app. To achieve all this I used nanomod, which is great, if my notifications worked. So, if you need any logs or anything of the sort I'm all yours, just might take me a while to get back to you because I will have to manually refresh to find replies.

Edit: I restored my apps with titanium backup, but even after reinstalling them nothing works. I tried Push Notification tester and it works with no delay, and using a delay and turning my screen off so Naptime puts it in doze, but since microg isn't battery optimized the notification goes through. My only question is why none of the other notifications are going through. Also, I've looked and most apps have registered for GCM, but not inbox or reddit, but I dont think they need to.

Edit 2: After digging through logs I've narrowed it down to this
