I have downloaded the apps, and micro-g setup seems OK. But none of the google apps i tried work (keep, youtube; translate works but it sends a notification that says "update Google Play Services") I haven't tried gmail and rive yet. Actually I can't. Because i installed play store apk but it stucks on the "just a sec.." screen.

LG G3 (D-855), FulmicsROM 7.6 with Xceed Kernel

Edit: btw when i installed the rom play store services was installed. I deleted it and then installed micro g

my phone is not a pixel or nexus. but i flashed this unofficial installer it automatically removed some gapps (i manually removed google play services, then some gapps stayed but so far there was no issue, as a matter of fact most of them still works) just try to research more if this will work for you.

I did cleared data and force stop thing, but before your message i had updated play store. It didn't work. Then i restarted phone and the problem solved. Thanks.

But then i wanted to use other things like contacts sync and realised how dependent i am on Google and said "what's the point of using micro g if i am gonna install all the google stuff" and deleted micro g and installed gapps pico lol.

Thanks for helping, at least i tried and managed to use it for a while :D

UnifiedNlp not registered in system

Hello,

I have a problem with UnifiedNlp. The MicroG self-check says, UnifiedNlp is not registered to the system (see attached screenshot) everything else works fine. I did some research and ended up at the MicroG installation Wiki which says the following:

I think that might be my problem. My question now is, how do I install the GmsCore to the privileged app folder?

I use the latest "Services Core" preview release from the MicroG website, the other apps are installed from the F-Droid repository.
[Android Apps and Games] Bludwurst:
Just saying, but that has been answered multiple times in this thread.

Please take the time to use the thread search bar to look for the answer.

(Although one suggestion I haven't seen is using the "app systemizer" magisk module, but I dunno how well that works)
[Android Apps and Games] BootloopedMillennials:
Using microg, I've learned to appreciate moreso how far Google Services have come. The battery life difference isn't as drastic as you'd be led to believe.

Having said that I'm sticking with microg because I like learning about other services beyond the Google ecosystem. I've been using it for 2 weeks and haven't run into many issues.

There's quite a lack of roms tbh and you're right about it being too difficult.

That is quite old, like really old at this point. but thanks anyway.

Pixel is currently on Oreo... I'd downgrade to nougat but there's hardly any good roms.

Thanks guys for the advice.
[Android Apps and Games] MaR-V-iN:
1. Make sure you push PlayStore apk to /system/priv-app or use a modified version that does support being installed as user-app (it's linked in this thread somewhere and provided by the Crackberry community).

2. On Android 6.0 you need to grant the dynamic permissions for PlayStore manually (PlayStore does not correctly implement Googles guidelines) in system settings as this is not done by the system automatically . To access the Google account you need at least the contacts permission.
[Android Apps and Games] Draygon:
Thanks, I'm able to start the Play Store now.

Sadly it still isn't working, since it's crashing whenever I try to download an app.

Edit: Just a permission problem, play store had no access to my file system.
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
Interested to see how you make out with this.

Playstore installs as a user app. What is supplied on /system/priv-app is what gets fallback to when uninstalling the user version. Apparently, one needs some version there on some ROMs. This gets promptly upgraded by Google and is a user app at this point.

You might check the permissions.

(On my old dinosaur, I have no room on system for any gapps stuff. I have an old, tiny, phonesky.apk around, auto-upgraded Playstore as user app by Google, but everything else, gmscore (theirs), Calendar, Google+, etc, gets installed as user apps, either from Play and upgraded by Google, or side-loaded.)
[Android Apps and Games] MaR-V-iN:
When you have an app in /system/priv-app it can be granted privileged permissions. PlayStore requires this as the permission to install/upgrade apps without user interaction is privileged (normal apps should not be able to do this). Once you update that app, although it resides on /data now, it will continue to have this permission granted. You can even ask the package manager if an app was originally installed to /system using the flag http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/ApplicationInfo.html#FLAG_UPDATED_SYSTEM_APP
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
Very useful information. Much thanks. This is why that old phonesky needs be around, been wondering about that forever! Funny that Play Services (and others normally distributed on system) need not be on system, though its frequent crashouts, why I am interested in the microG alternative!, might be caused by permission problems (but I have not room for Google's on system, period!). Omni (and using Xposed app permissions) have an app permissions settings. What does gmscore need that might be causing it to crash (besides the irritating FC messages, works perfectly otherwise).
[Android Apps and Games] MaR-V-iN:
Play Services as well as microG GmsCore does not require to be on /system. This is mostly for legacy reasons: GB and ICS do not have Play Services shipped and thus are not on /system, so it can't require privileged permissions

Hello,

is it planned to implent Chromecast support or is it already working somehow?

The chromecast app is just crashing and apps that support chromecast miss the chromecast entry (spotify, youtube, bubbleupnp).

[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
In MicroG Settings > Self-Check > Network-based location enabled isn't check (the only one).

I'm a bit lost to understand what I have to do to fix it.

I have a Nexus 5 with Android 6.0.1, no GApps. I have installed:

► GmsCore.apk (v0.2.0)

► GsfProxy.apk (v0.0.1)

► FakeStore.apk (v0.0.1)

► FakeGapps1.apk

► µg UnifiedNlp (no GAPPS) from F-Droid

► MozillaNlpBackend from F-Droid

Maybe this might help you :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
I've just tried but it didn't help (I can't install NLP Test though).
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Maybe this is the problem. According to OP, the UnifiedNlp is now included in microG and any previous version has to be uninstalled.
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
If i remove this, the MicroG settings app is also removed. I didn't install this package from F-Droid. It's linked to GmsCore.apk I think.
[Android Apps and Games] Wh1t3Rose:
Hey Primokorn! Great to see you here. Do you have xposed installed? If u do then all u need to do is install XposedGmsCoreUnifiedNlp. Then just activate and reboot

Did you install the applications, which depend on GCM, after the installation/flash of microG. Actually, I apologise for my stupid question as you certainly read the OP that I briefly quote:
[Android Apps and Games] xdaq:
Yes I did. Even reinstall airbnb app but to no avail. The push notification tester working properly though =(
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
I searched the web a bit and realised that quite a few guys are regularly having issue with the airbnb notifications. This immediately raised the question if the issue is more related to the app itself than to anything else.

Okay, if the push notification tester works as advertised I assume we most likely can preclude that microG has any issue. However, please allow a few questions to hopefully narrow down the problem:

Since when are you using microG? What's your Services Core (GmsCore) version?

Did you recently upgrade to a new airbnb version?

Did airbnb in former versions worked with microG?

Does/did airbnb in all versions you used worked with GApps?

Do other applications (if you have any) that depend on GCM notifications work properly? If applicable which ones don't?

Just to be sure, can you please provide screenshots of your complete microG settings including the Google Cloud Messaging settings?

What's your device, ROM, and kernel? Do you use Xposed? If latter is the case, which modules do you use/are enabled?
[Android Apps and Games] xdaq:
Since when are you using microG? What's your Services Core (GmsCore) version?

I just started using it last week. I'm using 0.2.4-103.

Did you recently upgrade to a new airbnb version?

I flashed a new rom.

Did airbnb in former versions worked with microG?

Yes. In other rom.

Does/did airbnb in all versions you used worked with GApps?

Yes.

Do other applications (if you have any) that depend on GCM notifications work properly? If applicable which ones don't?

Others are working properly.

Just to be sure, can you please provide screenshots of your complete microG settings including the Google Cloud Messaging settings?

My settings are default and I change the ping for both WiFi & Mobile to 60 seconds. Screenshots as attached.

Ok, before we continue with anything else, I suggest to upgrade the Services Core to the latest preview release i.e. to 0.2.4-105 from here. Then try airbnb again.
[Android Apps and Games] neyvermore:
Hi guys,

Did anyone try this with Huawei P10 Lite? The XDA Forum is kind of dead, so I prefer to ask here. Did someone manage to remove all Google apps from that phone?
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
Slightly off topic but I can't seem to find this on web searches and it could help improve my WiFi backend that some of you are using.

Does anyone here know what the typical default SSID is for in-car WLAN/WiFI systems?

Follow on question, is it possibly the last three octets of the BSSID/MAC address?

The reason for asking is that I noticed on a recent road trip that my local WiFi backend for MicroG/UnifiedNlp was giving locations in very rural areas where there was no apparent places that might have WLAN/WiFi access points. But there was lots of other traffic on the road and many newer cars have built-in WLAN/WiFi based entertainment systems. It is possible, actually very likely, that is what the backend was detecting, storing and then working with to compute locations.

The backend attempts to detect moved/moving access points but given reasonable highway speeds and the range an access point (AP) can be detected in rural areas there is a significant period of time between when the backend detects the WLAN/WiFi signal and starts to use it in the computation and when it detects that the AP has an improbably large coverage area (i.e. is likely to be moving). If the AP is on a car moving in the opposite direction it might not detect is as a moving AP at all. If traveling in the same direction it may take 30 or more seconds (depending on speed) before the AP will be ignored.

This might not be an issue with computing location for initial start of navigation as the in-vehicle APs will likely have moved out of the area and thus not used in the computation. But it does clutter up the database and wastes space on the user's phone, so I'd like to detect the condition and avoid storing the in-vehicle based APs.

Reviewing the database that the backend collected on my road trip, I see lots of cases where the SSID is based on the MAC address (e.g. a MAC address of 01:23:45:67:89:0A has a SSID of '67890A'). I am wondering if that is a default that a number of vehicle manufacturers use in setting the SSID. If so, then I can block them from being collected and used in computing location.

On the other hand, are there any fixed point APs that come with a default SSID based on the MAC address that the backend might falsely reject if I implement this type of filter?

Thanks!

I tried installing the 0.2.4-105 apk but it showed "App not installed". What is the correct steps to upgrade? Pls advice. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
I find the easiest way is to add the microG repository to F-Droid and then simply use F-Droid to do the update.

The update will be installed as a user app and you've probably installed microG in /system/priv-app/ but that is not an issue as Android is smart enough to see it as a update and allow it to work properly. (I think this is how official Google updates are made to work as the old original Google stuff is installed in the read only /system partition and can't be updated directly either.)
[Android Apps and Games] wis3m0nkey:
Hi all, this question is not related to micro g. However I thought people reading through micro g would have better idea.

I've been using micro g and xprivacy in combination for around year and half. I can see micro g is easily available on Android 7 and up, I'm having hard time finding anything that can replace xprivacy (provides fake information to app instead of restricting access so app doesn't necessarily crash) though.

Do you guys have any options?
[Android Apps and Games] xdaq:
Installed F-Droid but microG service core is not listed. Pls advice.
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
F-Droid can get confused. . . Turns out that UnifiedNlp and microG have the same signature, etc. so microG might show up as UnifiedNlp. And in your case it does, notice that the version shown for UnifiedNlp is actually your microG version. Update that app and you should be good to go.

FWIW, the latest F-Droid beta seems to have that bug fixed and has a much more modern UI too. You might want to consider updating F-Droid.
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
@n76 is right, there are certainly different ways how to "install" the GmsCore apk but by simply using the package installer doesn't work. By the way: I don't like the new versions of F-Droid with the "revised" UI at all i.e. I stay on my old one.

Assumption: Your microG is installed in /system/priv-app i.e. there is a folder called "GmsCore", and it contains "GmsCore.apk" (see first two screenshots).

Rename the downloaded 0.2.4-105 apk to GmsCore.apk

By a root explorer (I personally use MiXplorer) replace the GmsCore.apk in /system/priv-app/GmsCore by the new, renamed one.

Ensure GmsCore.apk has permissions "644".

Reboot

Other methods (flashing via TWRP/recovery): Nanomod by Setialpha (that's the one I use), microG unofficial installer by

Anyone run into a issue in Hangouts where it's saying select SIM card whenever I try to type a message. Calling works and replying from notification works but with the app, no. Hangouts is not set to default SMS client.

Good to hear that your ROM comes with microG; it's certainly the easiest way to achieve the goal.

However, just for my interest: What root explorer do/did you use? A root explorer (with root permissions granted) must be able to delete files. Did you ever tried the one I use? It certainly deletes whatever I want it to delete in /system.
