yes LG has very big problems with phones.. G4 bootloop from hardware issue. this is replacement too.. i hope it last for ever.. also heard v10 and G5, G3 having problems..

no i do not want CM or AOSP.. i like stock.. for camera..

now am bootloader unlocked. and i have twrp..

yes previously i had LP. wich i also had locked bootloader.. so i had to use flashfire.. and a rootedsystem.img image..

yes playstore would not work for some reason it always crashed of fc.. and yes i did get aroud this issue... how.??

well the rootedsystem.img. i used was someone else that did the rooting to the image and he share his image.. so inly had to do was push it to phone... so i think his image had problems or was corrupted.. i decided to pull my own.. restore back to stock firmwre usein LGUP and KDZ file... then did the root method but extracting my own image and rooting my own image... this fixed the playstore fc..

now am bootloader unlocked.. twrp. and moved to MM.

the same things i deleted on LP i deleted on MM.

but i noticed tha when i remove Gservices it bootloops .. also disbling gservices network location would bootloop too. i tried in 3 different stock roms... even on stock firmware it bootlooped..

since am new to MM i tought it was a security feature that prevents you from deleting system apps..

so basically am doing samething as LP. only this time it bootloops and yes i have noticed the removing google play services gives me bootloop..or disabling a serivce....

sure pm me so we could see whats goign on.. thanks. :good:

Regarding the delays, maybe you need to decrease the heartbeat interval.

As for the issues with chrome, try an alternate browser. I suggest JumpGo, forked from Lightning Browser, and available on F-Droid.

Anyone knows which ROMs other than Omni have sig spoofing support? AFAIK Temasek CM12.1 versions 16 and above have it, but the S4 9505 is stuck on version 12.1, and has no L+ Omni...

(and for those who ask it, I don't want to use xposed because it's pointless to adopt a "bulky" framework just to get signature spoofing working IMHO)

Sent from my GT-I9505
[Android Apps and Games] AnonVendetta:
[MENTION=6018519]sonickles9[/MENTION]: Omni is the only one I know of that has the patch, and maybe a few unofficial CM-based ROMs made by individuals not officially affiliated with CM.

Xposed has advantages and disadvantages, but it can get bulky, cause bootloops and other bugs etc, and maybe has an adverse effect on battery depending on what modules are used. If you don't want to use Xposed then I would say your best bet is to directly apply the Needles patch to your system files. FakeGapps allows you to keep your system apps unmodified, whereas the patch requires direct changes to them. Are you more interested in keeping a clean system partition, or do you just want the patch with the least amount of hassle? I can attest that FakeGapps itself has caused no noticeable battery drain, neither has Xposed (I only have a few modules), but I may apply the patch later.

[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
I take it you have Xposed installed. You'll probably need the module to fix the "system support location provider" issue. XposedGmsCoreUnifiedNlp is the module I believe.

You'll need to download/install some location backends. In F-Droid search for nlp to find some. I use the Mozilla one.

There's more but I can't think straight. Sleepy.

[Android Apps and Games] AnonVendetta:
I'll try both patches in a few hours and report back. My testing will be done on clean-flashed CM13 (or a similar derivative). I last tried the Needle patch on my Lollipop 5.1.1 LG stock ROM (which I'm no longer using) a few months ago. The patch reported that it failed, but MicroG said that spoofing was enabled. So I tested a few common apps that are known to depend on Play Services, including Play Store, they all worked. I'm inclined to think that Needle sometimes reports errors/failure even if the patch did in fact succeed. FakeGapps is safer and allows to keep a clean system partition, but it needs Xposed. It also doesn't require repatching system files every time a new ROM build/system update is installed. I still would much prefer to patch my system directly.
[Android Apps and Games] AnonVendetta:
I just tried both the Needle patch and the patch by [MENTION=5627087]ale5000[/MENTION], on a CM13 v6.0.1 MM ROM. It failed each time with very similar errors. I must be missing something. I have adb/fastboot, Java JRE and Java SDK, and Python3 installed. I checked my user's Temp folder, but I only found a 1KB framework.jar after running each patch. MicroG says my system doesnt support spoofing.
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
[MENTION=7441667]AnonVendetta[/MENTION]: On the framework of my phone apktool fail, so in Tingle I have switched from apktool to smali/baksmali, plus other minor changes that improve error reporting.

Actually I'm looking for the least-hassling way to get microG working. Needle is a decent bet(though not-so-hassle-free) and I might use it from now on since im on linux (I was too lazy to install python on windows lol).

[Android Apps and Games] AnonVendetta:
I got ale5000's patch to work. I had to deodex my system apps and frameworks with Lordroid's deodexer tool. After that the patch applied successfully. FakeGapps isn't installed, MicroG says spoofing is enabled, and Play Store works. Apparently the patcher does work on MM, so does the deodexer tool.

Deodexer link:

http://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/tool-batch-deodex-rom-t3313150

I did read something on the GitHub pages for both patches, that the patches don't work on an odexed framework.jar. This would explain why my original framework.jar was only 1KB and only contained a meta-inf folder, because the actual files were elsewhere.

Normally CM is deodexed, but for some reason the guy who made my ROM decided to odex it.
[Android Apps and Games] bigsupersquid:
If you build dex-preopt (odex the rom) the first boot is significantly faster because art doesn't have to optimize all the system apps. Makes the rom bigger and build time increases though.
[Android Apps and Games] AnonVendetta:
[MENTION=2980661]bigsupersquid[/MENTION]: Yes, I'm well aware of why some ROM makers odex their ROMs. But it prevents things like the Needle/ale5000 patch from working. I personally prefer odexed ROMs.

True enough. I only posted that because of the "for some reason" bit which I felt needed filling in.

Except for that first boot time i prefer mine unodexed :p

[Android Apps and Games] stuckbootloader:
I know BlankStore's developement is more or less dead, but it appears that google has changed something server-side about the identification process.

I am running the official CM 12.1 (latest stock is 4.2), and applications for 4.2+ simply don't appear in the search results. Kustom, WebView, Swiftkey's neural net keyboard - nothing. I found out about Raccoon while looking for solutions, and I used the same android ID I used for logging in BlankStore - and the apps actually appeared when searching, and they ran just as well on the phone itself.

Oh, and yes, the API value in BlankStore was 22 when I was logging in.

Sorry for annoying you by asking you about a dead project, but I really don't want to run the proprietary Play Store application. Yes, I could as very well use Raccoon, but it's simply not as accessible as BlankStore. Needing to connect my phone to a computer each time I want to update (or check for updates) is a hassle.

[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
The geolocation without GPS exist also without microG (it is also present in Google Play Services through Google servers).

The fact that some apps do not accept location without GPS (that is less precise) has nothing to do with microG, I have never tried Google Maps without GPS so I don't know but I know that there are also other apps that support it and work correctly.

Instead the login problem is possibly related to microG, I suggest to open an issue here and post a logcat so he could easily keep track of the bug.
[Android Apps and Games] Tech 4 9:
Thanks for the reply. I tried a different UnifiedNlp because it wouldn't "bind in system"and now microG disappeared from my phone. ??

Sent from a Starfleet communicator
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
What do you mean with "bind in system"?

What version of Android do you have?

PS: microG GmsCore contains a copy of UnifiedNlp inside it, so you shouldn't install also UnifiedNlp separately (I have never tried but I suppose there will be some problems).

Try to uninstall both UnifiedNlp and microG, restart the phone and reinstall microG to see if it reappear.
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
UnifiedNLP standalone (NO GAPPS) works by using the Google Play Services app package name, so apps that use the location services will ask it for the location. microG, in providing its own Play Services implementation, also uses this package name and has UnifiedNLP built in. When you installed the different UnifiedNLP, I'm guessing you replaced microG with it.

Reinstall microG and, before you try using UnifiedNLP, reboot your device. This is needed to get the provider to work. Then make sure everything is set up to provide locations and test it. It should work.

Oh, and some (all?) navigation apps require a service to translate addresses to coordinates and vice versa. This is provided by the Nominatim back end, but the version in FDroid no longer works. Instead, there should be a version of Nominatim that I uploaded in a previous post if you would like to use it. That one requires getting a developer API key from Mapquest and pasting it into the app. The Nomination backend is not required for location-based services though. Just to be clear.

If reinstalling microG and rebooting does not fix Google Maps, installing that modified Nomination backend might.
[Android Apps and Games] Tech 4 9:
Yes, removing the nlp restored MG. Good info, thank you. I found a microG zip by someone else but no nominatim. Also, MG is crashing a lot now...which is new.

[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
Yes, you need all the buttons ticked.

The main problem is that your ROM probably doesn't support location provider.

I cannot help to much for this, but maybe others can.

I suggest to write ROM name and version, someone may know the way to enable it.

You can use Xposed how it is written in the self-check or wait to see if there is someone that have another way to enable it.

You have to use a relatively ancient version of maps for it to recognize location services from microg. I forget which version, it runs on my Optimus v though so it's pretty old. That version doesn't allow downloading offline maps so I can't tell you there.
[Android Apps and Games] barturblits:
Maps always worked for me with microg. Except for an occasional api update of google play service, but Marvin always fixed those within a day or two. Maps needs microg/unifiednlp and fakestore/blankstore for me to work properly.

Is it me or do all the "offline maps" options in f-droid just absolutely blow chunks?...or am I not using them right. They all tout offline use but then address search is a joke. I hadvnt had one work AT ALL yet. They don't find anything but my location and even that's sketchy...even with gps on.

[Android Apps and Games] darthvishous:
Don't remember seeing "setting up an account". Sure you using https://wego.here.com/ ?

As for OSMand maybe you have to install the nominatim backend for searching addresses.
[Android Apps and Games] bigsupersquid:
On marshmallow I've only installed microg and associated apps as user apps rather than system apps and they've worked fine.
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
Ditto that. I still use OsmAnd for some things (mostly off highway while hiking, etc.) but I've taken to recommending MapsWIthMe (maps.me) to everyone else. If you are technically minded you can figure out how to update the maps on maps.me about once a week which beats OsmAnd's current once per month map update.

But neither does decent address lookups, so I use AddressToGPS which does a Google lookup of any address you give it and then emits a geo intent which Maps.me handles better than OsmAnd. The most recent version of AddressToGPS recognizes the address/map intents from things like the AOSP Contact app. So I can touch on a person in my address book, touch on lookup in AddressToGPS, touch on the correct address returned by Google, end up in Maps.me with the option to route to it. Maybe a touch or two more than if OsmAnd and/or Maps.me properly handled the address intent themselves but not too bad.

Only two issues for me:

1. I usually run with data off and the Google lookup requires an Internet connection. So I need to do this prior to leaving WiFi coverage and maybe temporarily add the GPS location as a favorite.

2. It means giving information to Google which I prefer to avoid.

I have wondered about trying to make a geocoder backend for GmsCore that would use either Maps.me or OsmAnd to be the "server" so everything could be seamless on the phone with local data. But when I look at the intents handled by those apps and their documentation I don't see a way to make it work. I might try to dig into that more later, but I've got some other software to work on that is higher priority for me and don't actually have that much time to do work on software at the moment anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] darthvishous:
I didn't know about AddressToGPS, will look it up. But yeah not so enthusiastic about sending information to Google. If you can indeed make the geocoder backend then that will be extremely helpful.
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
GmsCore contain native libraries, if you install it as system app you have to extract and install them manually or many apps will crash.
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
I highly doubt the ROM doesn't support "Play Services" as a location provider, assuming it thinks microG is "Play Services". Under the microG self check, are all three of the boxes under "Signature spoofing support" checked? If not, that is your problem. If you are running a ROM that is patched to support signature spoofing and is Marshmallow, tapping the first option should pop up a box asking if you want microG to be able to spoof. Say yes.

If you do not have that option, you can either use Xposed with the FakeGapps module or the Tingle Python script which will patch your system for you. You can find a reference to the script within the past couple of pages in this thread.
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
The only thing that you might want to install under /system is the Play Store, and I believe that is only the official Google one. BlankStore should work fine as a user app, and everything should be installed as a user app as well. There are known issues with having microG installed under /system. Again: all of microG, including the location backends, should be installed as user apps.
