Yes, i'm agree, this app give easy performace but not noob friendly step, pro cons must be taken, right

But i'm sure an explaination by member like us about installation is enough, for those who new here want to use should use search function, there are plenty explanation that explain correctly how to install this app, even use PS normally

Like this one below

Yes I think we have the same "problem" (as it is surely not related to microg)
[Android Apps and Games] jisoo:
I think it's caused by this commit c5a4398fae1116f0db5a6fe2b3a36fb74c4b723d, which disables GPS location if Google Play Services is installed.

It may cause location a problem when relying on getting location from microG.

I think the only work-around is to use a ROM which does not include this commit, or at least extract and replace the apk with a version which does not have Google's libraries included.

I did everything following the instructions.

Yesterday I made a copy of my main rom and installed according to instruction Omni 6 with MicroG.

I used GooglePlay.apk verision 7.0.25.H-all_0. I set it as an application system using the / system / app mover ROOT.

ROM: Omni6 nightly 2016.08.30 Specifically I chose this rom due to spoofing support.

- microG Services Framework Proxy 0.1.0

- microG UnifiedNlp v1.6.6

- SuperSU 2.78

All recommended checkboxes in the MicroG Settings are marked.

Generally, it works well with the exception of:

- Tapatalk: when I trying to run it just crash every time,

- Contacts: I can not synchronize them with my Google account, when I try to log into the account error pops up and connects me with the support team,

I assume that I need to restore them from a file or from the SIM card.

- CF Lumen, location settings: When I click on the map application does not determine my coordinates, I assume that this is the problem with Map.API, I have not installed this,

Running test build of omnirom7 with signature spoofing integrated on my nexus 6p. Blankstore, gcm, signature spoofing etc is all working except for unifiednlp. It is not registered in the system and satstat shows no wifi location. Any idea where the problem is located? Microg or omnirom?
[Android Apps and Games] bigsupersquid:
If it's like my build of cm14 you may have to put gmscore in priv-app to get nlp to bind in the system.

Something changed in N that somehow blocks the nlp subproject signature in gmscore unless it's in priv-app, at least that's what I've seen in my logcats.

Though I could easily be incorrect and I didn't capture the relevant logs to post here like I should have.
[Android Apps and Games] barturblits:

Just tell me if this is normal behavior of the application Contacts and Tapatalk., I had never used microg so I don't know everything.

cLock widget works with microg unmodified if you use cm weather underground provider and get an API key from them to activate it.

Yahoo provider f***ed up their API to not use latitude and longitude anymore and it's broken for microg.
[Android Apps and Games] justmix4:
Thank you! I'll try to do it.

Okay, so I restored backup. I will try to copy the CF Lumen in Titanium and restore it in the Omni, it should solve the problem of coordinates.

Now Tapatalk, the problem may be due to the fact that I log into it using my Google Account. Before the first start I restored a copy of Titanium .. try without it. It should work.

What can you say about Tapatalk guys, it works for you normally with MicroG?

[Android Apps and Games] 2phazt:
Sometimes it seems that the location backends dont' provide a location and the last known location is used.

That's no dealbreaker for me it's just a possible reason for not updating weather widgets.
[Android Apps and Games] Izzysoft:
[MENTION=7489364]oF2pks[/MENTION] I didn't install any Yahoo (or other) weather provider. While I tried with OpenWeather unsuccessfully in the past, it suddenly started working again when I tried last. No exact idea how, why, or what I might have done "specifically different" this time. And I don't dare touching it now ("never touch a running system" has a very specific connotation here for me).

I have some suspicions, though, so let me list some possibly related facts:

It works on my LG P880 running CM12.1, but does not work on my Wileyfox Swift running "stock" CyanogenOS 12.1

I didn't get it to work on the LG in the past either

I suddenly got it working with my P880 on the latest install, which is an updated 12.1 using Bandwagon (whatever that is, I'm no dev – you should be able to better explain this as you're the "baker" of that ROM; and I just see I missed a couple of updates already, but "never touch", see above :D)

AFAIK Bandwagon integrates several backports (right?)

My conclusion is it must have to do with that latest ROM having integrated some fix – whether intentionally or unintentionally (some funny side-effect). Those backports didn't reach my Wileyfox Swift, which is why I assume it's not working there. There should be alternatives via different weather providers – but forgive me, I'm not willing to pay with personalized data just to see what the weather might be. So I'm happy it works on the P880, but won't "enforce" it on the Swift. Prognosis isn't that accurate anyway (e.g. showed me 12°C and raining for a whole day of 18°C and sunshine), so I rather consider it a toy for now :)
[Android Apps and Games] oF2pks:
OK, I dislike these weather addons (battery and privacy), but I remember CM' cLock is a 100% GooglePlayServices dev, using yahoo (provider by default).

There is an option cLock/weather/provider and guess that microG is compatible with OpenWeatherMap (favourite cm outsider : http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/plug-play-weather )

(I can feel red marvin thunders in the sky...)
[Android Apps and Games] Izzysoft:
Then I wonder how it works on my P880: No GApps there, just microG. Configuration options let you chose between Yahoo (not working due to API issues) and OpenWeather (working fine ATM). Apart from those, I just use the clock itself and the calendar events on the lock screen (not checked recently; I somehow remember those lock screen things stopped working with LP), no other plugins. Just checked: calendar events don't even show up on my homescreen currently, though I've set that to show "a week in advance". Strange.

Nope, no such option before MM/CM13.*. That was introduced after CM13/MM was already released, and thus that option cannot be available before some update to the initial CM13.

You've quoted the right source: That's the update I'm speaking of :) But as I wrote, OpenWeather works fine here with µG.

[Android Apps and Games] n76:
I've been using Blankstore without an issue. At least no issue after I gave it all the permissions it needs but does not ask for. You might want to go into your system settings and make sure that Blankstore has the permissions it wants.

(@Izzysoft ,sorry for my erratic posts, I remembered KK...)

I defrost cLock and microG , they just both, yahoo_loosy & openweather_ok , work on cm12: simple test is to get clock-widget, in launcher, then tap the clock+3dots/Widgetsettings/weatherpannel...

You don't even need microG's location, if you type your city.

Not using a widget: go to Settings/Notification drawer and tick Show_weather +launch clock_app+3dots ...; then tap it upper/right notification panel.
[Android Apps and Games] Izzysoft:
[MENTION=7489364]oF2pks[/MENTION] I never got Yahoo working again after it broke more than a year ago. And yes, I'm only using CM12 – several reasons why I don't want to update to MM or higher (the borked permission system, which doesn't deserve the name anymore even, being one of them).

[MENTION=5842893]BryanByteZ[/MENTION] I also use BlankStore without any issue (if you're on MM or above, you will need to manually grant it some permission – I don't remember which one, but it was only one playing the "show-stopper"; IIRC something with storage), but use Raccoon as well. The latter can even download apps you've paid for.

Btw: Using BlankStore as user-app has one huge advantage: if there is an update, you again see before installation exactly which new permissions are added (if any), as it brings up the package manager. System apps don't need that, and as we all know Playstore does not do a good job at that.

For me on MM Yahoo weather provider works with chronus widget, but not with clock. Also I can't download weather underground provider in PS.
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
I have not used BlankStore myself so I cannot help so much with some of your questions. I *can* say that it offers you more privacy in the same way that microG offers better privacy over the official Google Play Services. I do not know why it offers downgrades as "updates," if that is what you are describing.

Personally, if I use something to take the place of the Play Store app, I use the Play Store itself because it is most compatible. Currently I am not even running microG, as an experiment of sorts, but someone in the microG/no-gapps telegram group linked to this Firefox add-on that allows you to directly download the apk from the google play website (desktop only for now): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/apk-downloader/

That add-on may be a suitable replacement for the play store. I have not tried it yet, but it is well reviewed. You can also try using only alternative app stores like F-Droid and Amazon Underground.

PS: If you are curious about the group, you can join using this link: https://telegram.me/joinchat/CZQJakEwQHsKiqNsv5GK4A

I'm in the same situation. I test since yesterday MicroG services and I'm happy with it. Battery life of my good old friend Nexus 4 is much longer compared to Google services ... But I'm afraid of losing the account, I might go back to gapps ... I do not know, but I know one thing .. the loss of my Google account will be hurt much. We should think about the other account for microg, and yes I'm a little paranoid lol.

Or not, just trust MicroG developers and Jesus Christ.

Does anyone know if there were cases removed to a Google Account for use microg?
[Android Apps and Games] bigsupersquid:
Well, fwiw, I've run more time on custom Roms without any Google services or replacements like microg than with.

I've used throwaway and my primary Google accounts both with microg without issues, at least six or eight months now.

Instead of contact sync you can export your contacts to vcf file on sdcard. I think Google account in browser will let you export contacts too.

There's no need to delete your whole Google account for privacy, just don't use any Google services you're worried about.

Most Google-ware has browser alternatives so you don't have to clutter and clog your devices with play services at all just to use a Google account.
[Android Apps and Games] 2phazt:
I made a titanium backup of my contacts storage and a restore gaves me everything back.
[Android Apps and Games] enban:
For contact syncing you can either use Fruux.com or, even better, you can make a free account on Owndrive.com. I use the latter. You only need to download DAVdroid and set-up it to point to your Owndrive account. Calendars and contacts are synced seamlessly. It can also sync Tasks, but for this you have to install OpenTask before installind Davdroid (and probably running it once, before setting-up DAVdroid).

If you need help with DAVdroid just send me a PM. The setup is quite straightforward, though. Please, take in account that

1) I'm not involved in any of the aforementioned web services/apps (i.e., not spamming)

2) If you send me a PM it could take a while for me to reply, as I don't log in daily on XDA.

Have fun!

You can also use ownCloud for cantact, calendar, files and tasks...

I like to use this method. You can even install ownCloud on a RaspberryPi and run everything under your roof (your personal private server). Form there you can sync with your computer and other mobiles.

[Android Apps and Games] bigsupersquid:
I couldn't really puzzle out enough of the source to modify it, but it'd be nice if it (BlankStore) accepted play store intents to open apps from other links. Right now those just open the market with no input, and I have to manually parse the apk package name from the link and copy/paste into the market.

Good evening every1,

just a little question, cause i am new to "google free android": does any1 know if microG works on CM13 for Samsung S4 (GT-I9505)? and if yes, is there anything i should pay attention to?

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] BryanByteZ:
It works on any kk/lp/mm gapps free ROM, read the op carefully and everything should be okay.

[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:

[Android Apps and Games] GasLoop:
Yep CM13 is GApps free
[Android Apps and Games] 135Shadowsoul:
so for next clean CM13 install i can use microG? any issues known for a GT-I9505?

and two more additional questions:

1. does google calendar sync work? I am using a 3rd party calendar app on my devices, but this app is using google calendar sync for syncing between devices

2. does a customrom device pass or fail safetynet? anything spectial to do to pass always?
[Android Apps and Games] GasLoop:
Yes you can.

1. Don't know, but it should I guess. I use OwnCloud instead.

2. An unlocked bootloader makes your device fail safetynet. I've read that [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] has found a temporary fix, but you'll have to find out yourself.
[Android Apps and Games] 135Shadowsoul:
about 2. : at the moment i am running CM13 on my GT-I9505 (Samsung Galaxy S4 intl.) w/unlock bootloader by default. With systemless superSU (by Chainfire) and suhide and rootswitch i am able to pass at the moment

About 1.: yes, calendar sync works fine. You have to manually push the calendar sync apk (can be found on apkmirror; rename it to GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk) to /system/app/GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter (create the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter folder manually and set its permissions to 755) and set permissions to 644. Then reboot and you're good to go.
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
Near as I can tell, BlankStore uses no resources unless you actually have it open and are using it. It won't even check that you have the latest versions of your installed apps until you press the "Installed" button to force it to refresh.

Down side to BlankStore is you can't pay for apps. And the search is a bit limited so some free apps can't be installed because you can't find them. In general though, it works well enough to get free apps.
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
What location backend(s) have you installed for GmsCore? By itself GmsCore does not provide geo location, you need to install one or more location provider backends to have it work.
[Android Apps and Games] justmix4:
It is worth mentioning that Blank Store is no longer supported.

True that it is not being supported in that new features and general bug fixes are not being done. But Marvin does fix it when Google makes changes that break it.

Has anyone tested Google Allo with MicroG? For me it just hangs on "Connecting" after trying to verify my #, then a short time later it (sometimes) says my # isn't valid (my # and country code are correct). I recently switched from T-Mobile to MetroPCS after SIM-unlocking my device. My old # is verified and tied to my Google account (but no longer valid since I cancelled my account). I made the switch a few weeks ago. My new # isn't verified. Allo also doesn't give an option to resend a new verification text or call me, I have to force close it. All permissions are granted, battery optimization (Doze) for Allo is disabled. Signature spoofing is enabled and MicroG is configured correctly. Play Store works as well. I don't think Allo uses the Safety Net API (I'm rooted, Xposed is installed, as well as Magisk, etc). I really don't even care about Allo, I really just want to use the Google Assistant feature that is bundled with it (supposedly exclusive to Pixel devices, but already working on other devices).

Has anyone also tested Google Duo with MicroG? For me it does pretty much the same thing as Allo, except it doesn't even say "Connecting" or give an error, it just hangs on a white screen after the # verification screen.

Thanks!
