Hi,

When I start whatsapp, I log in using the sms code. After that it asks me to recover a backup from my google drive. Now when I want to give whatsapp access to my google drive, it just gives me the option to add a new google account. My current one (where my google drive backup is uploaded) is not in the list. When I add it by using the whatsapp prompt, it says that the account already is on my device. When I remove the account in the settings app, and add it as a new one in whatsapp, it just loads forever.

Sadly Pedroles method didn't work for me, as the old whatsapp version detected that the system clock is set wrong.

I would really appreciate your help, as this is kinda a dealbreaker for me :D

How did you guys get gmail to work? mine crashes when opening app altought sync still works (lol).

Also anyone got google app and photos to work?
[Android Apps and Games] DocBrowns:
Blankstore
[Android Apps and Games] kalapapa:
I was trying to figure all this stuff out too but I think I did

First install all stuff in op except don't install blank store or fake store. Instead go to apkmirror.com and find the latest play store apk. Install it like usual but don't open it. Use an app called /system/app mover

to move play store to a system priv app. Then do the same thing for Google now if want it to work properly. After rebooting, if you're on Android marshmallow then go into settings and grant all of the microg apps and play store permissions and then use the play store to download gmail. When gmail is downloaded then go to its permissions and check everything. Make sure that on microg and on gmail you have the extra permission called something like Google sync clicked and then it should work.

I added marvins GmsCore repo to my F-Droid repos and installed GmsCore and GfsProxy successfully.

Sadly GmsCore seems to be hidden in the store now, GfsProxy is still there. I think it collidating with UnifiedNlp, which is showed instead as installed.

I never installed this one.

Is there a fix for this?
[Android Apps and Games] terirem:
Uninstall UnifiedNlp and then install GmsCore.
[Android Apps and Games] barturblits:
Have the same thing and unifiednlp is not installed. Problem is that unifiednlp and gsmcore are seen as the same app in fdroid.
[Android Apps and Games] kalapapa:
Has anyone successfully been able to use the hangouts app. Every time I open it, it doesn't load.. I have tried older apks but those don't work either. I also tried installing it as a system app and it still won't work.
[Android Apps and Games] MaR-V-iN:
F-Droid might display a wrong app name and description but the actual app installed still is GmsCore. You will still receive updates and can install nightlies, it's just about app title, description and icon. I might work on a fix for the F-Droid client in case I find some time for that.

A GitHub user reported that he was able to use Hangouts 2.1.100 for messaging.
[Android Apps and Games] kalapapa:
Thanks it worked. I wish a newer version worked though but it's whatever

Hi [MENTION=3999488]MaR-V-iN[/MENTION]

I am having trouble updating/or downgrading using the F-droid repo.

I have tried upgrading from 0.2.0 stable to the latest available 02/08 nightly. I have also tried downgrading from the 02/08 nightly back to 0.2.0 Stable. Each time I do this, I get the message shown in the screenshot. As a result, I have had to reinstall my rom and microG from scratch when I update or downgrade. All versions have been from the F-droid repo.

I thought that both the nightly and stable versions were signed with the same key, so uses could go between versions easily? Am I wrong? The F-droid version I am using is 0.98. Here is a logcat of what happens when trying to update or downgrade:

Just wanted to report/point out, while installing from f droid look for microG and select unified NLP (no gapps) however instead of clicking install, pick a specific package. Check screenshots:

If simply clocked on install the package seems to be 1.1mb

And package installed is unified NLP

But if latest package is clicked on (2/08/2016)

Size is 3.1mb

And package installed is microG
[Android Apps and Games] MaR-V-iN:
Please check that signature spoofing is enabled. Use Checkey app to verify it reports the signing key of microG services core is by Google. The F-Droid repo will fail to update when signature spoofing is not supported (native or via Xposed).
[Android Apps and Games] darthvishous:
Use k9. IMHO one of the best email app despite its dated look and the perfect email app for a nogapps system.
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
Ot try Boxer
[Android Apps and Games] darthvishous:
Boxer's pretty good. But it's not open source.
[Android Apps and Games] jiji.james:
Not sure if there are any other open source email clients other than k9
[Android Apps and Games] darthvishous:
Not to my knowledge, unless you include the aosp email client. But k9 does the job pretty well.
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
I'll agree
[Android Apps and Games] Cookie Ninja:
Second the post by [MENTION=2825967]darthvishious[/MENTION].

Use K9 mail app. Best when downloaded from F-droid....

I am running this on a Galaxy S8 renovate ice rom, but a couple of apps are not giving me push notifications. I have tried deleting an reinstalling but no luck. In microg setting these apps do not apear under the registered list for google cloud messaging. Can anybody suggest how to troubleshoot? I am running latest gms core. One of the apps is zoho mail.

Hi I'm new , sorry 4 my misunderstood but ... May u explain me what's the function of the microG .. Because I don't know and I don't want to blow up my device ??
[Android Apps and Games] Exabyter:
Looking through the changelog for Gplay Services 15.x, it appears that GCM is now deprecated in favor of "Firebase Messaging" - suggesting that if you block Firebase you lose push messaging too now?

https://i.imgur.com/wZq0gNZ.png

If so, that would be a real shame as GCM is the aspect of microG that I've experienced the fewest problems with. :(
[Android Apps and Games] guest4711:
See the description in the opening post (https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-...ore-floss-play-services-t3217616/post63131189):

microG GmsCore is a FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software) framework to allow applications designed for Google Play Services to run on systems, where Play Services is not available. If you use your phone without GAPPS this might become a useful tool for you....
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Updated to the latest version (May 24) of lineageos 14.1 with MicroG and can confirm that the problem of updated apps requesting Google services to be updated for the app to run has not been solved. Updated apps still request that Google services be updated or they will not run.

Furthermore, the update changed my Google Play setting to "auto update" which I do not want.

Restored backed up nandroid.
[Android Apps and Games] d1n0x:
Use this for updated play services

It has an updated signature plus more inside the zip (it is customizable so you can just delete the stuff you dont want in the zip)

To download, you need to join the Telegram group
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Glad you asked. I didn't know either.

Here are 3 screenshots. The provided link goes to #1. From there #2 and 3 follow.

A) where do we find the correct file to install?

B) install via twrp?

C) how does one subscribe to the Telegram channel? Or maybe we should wait until the zip becomes available through mainstream channels.

Thank you.

It's an app. You have to make it a system app yourself.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Thank you Kurtn.

I downloaded it but it wouldn't install (see screenshot). So I guess I need to uninstall the patched microg first. How?

And, how do I make it a system app?
[Android Apps and Games] mcatis:
Does anyone know what's going on with this? Should we assume that SafetyNet will be broken for the foreseeable future? It's such a shame because microG is so great overall, but there's still a handful of apps I really need which won't function properly with SafetyNet broken.

May Bump version number & ro.control_privapp_permissions=enforce

OK,so I followed this 'thrill' Bump version number and rebuilt [MENTION=3999488]MaR-V-iN[/MENTION] MicroG debug apk 112 and ...

-indeed, on a May 14 aosp µG patched edition, I can launch Playstore (with paid app), install CNN app and watch this "'respectful' free world"...

-unfortunately on the same but synced May 21 aosp µG patched edition, Playstore now closes systematically and restart to [sign in] process... and again.

EDIT2 ...due to {ro.control_privapp_permissions=enforce}

The good is that, if I add missing system/etc/permissions/privapp-permissions-google.xml , Playstore (and respectful CNN '...') works back; maybe you could link this somewhere to latest [MENTION=3999488]MaR-V-iN[/MENTION] oreo patches on github https://github.com/microg/android_p...aster/patches/android_frameworks_base-O.patch

Edit : oreo 8.1-r26 tested with MicroG_debug112.apk installed as normal (regular removable) app and a 'respected' system/priv-app/Phonesky.apk 10.1.08

btw: does anyone have helpy documentations on these specifics lines 38-50 https://github.com/SonyAosp/vendor_...works/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml#L38 ?

I think this is the github link where they're trying to find a solution: https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/issues/482

That can be done with /system app from f-droid. Need busybox.
[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
I installed microG out f FDroid. Selfcheck all seems to be ok. Only NLP isn't registered.

In Unified NLP setting the location backend is enabled and a database has been downloaded. What am I doing wrong?

Which of the microG components I have to convert to a system app?
[Android Apps and Games] Mynacol:
Please post a screenshot of the NLP part of the MicroG self-test so we see what's going on
[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
Here we are.

[Android Apps and Games] guest4711:
Gmscore afair. Don't forget to extract the lib (lib/arm/libvtm-jni.so )
[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
After apply "/system mover" to core, the microG setting disappeared. And I never extracted any lib before.

I installed the core again and converted framework to a system app. But still Unified NLP is not registered, although it is installed.

Edit:

Sorry, you are right:

https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/wiki/Installation

I just copied the base.apk from /data/app ... to /system/app-priv.

Not sure why the /system mover doesn't work properly.
[Android Apps and Games] anon1135:
hi I tried searching the thread but couldn't find an answer. I want to dirty flash a weekly rom for my phone and was wondering if microg has to be flashed again like gapps did along with custom kernel, magisk etc.
[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
Should work but thing about spoofing. I guess this has to be repeated ("tingle" the framework)
[Android Apps and Games] anon1135:
ty it shouldn't hurt to re flash it anyway right? seemed like the obvious choice
[Android Apps and Games] chris42too:
Status of Microg

Hi there,

out of interest, who is actually working on microg? The official repository has been pretty much dormant for a year. Only Play store signatures have been updated. More and more things are now broken, GCM, Safety Net, etc.

So don't get me wrong, I do not want to pressure anyone in doing something, just know who is now behind this and still interested in developing further and if this happens in the official repository.

Thanks

Chris

Why does the admin of the NoGapps group ban people for absolutely no reason? One day I clicked the group and it is gone because I was apparently banned. Such practices are nothing short of draconian and will lead to nothing.
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
You flashed some microG installer. Most of these generate a addon.d script. So you don't have to reflash as long as you don't wipe system or data. Same with GApps.

For complaining
[Android Apps and Games] d1n0x:
I am already in that group. What I don't get is the admin randomly banning people for no reason.
[Android Apps and Games] guest4711:
If you perform a proper dirty flash (wiping cache, dalvik and system) it is necessary to reflash microg. In all other cases it should not harm...
[Android Apps and Games] Exabyter:
Can you explain what "for complaining" meant in your response?

Is that a Telegram group specifically for complaints, or was the person you responded-to banned for complaining, or ??

---------- Post added at 01:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 AM ----------

I'm interested in an update on this as well.

As far as I know, someone calling themselves (from memory) Mar-V-In is the lead developer, yes?
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
There two telegram groups. The nogapps group. Marvin is a member, but not active. The admin is very strict, has no humour and is very active in banning people.

The other group often changes name. Most of the time something like "official microG" in it. 60± admins. Much off-toppic and complaining about admin of nogapps group.

My point is: telegram discussion should stay in telegram.
[Android Apps and Games] oF2pks:
https://github.com/mar-v-in?tab=overview

Like Magisk, TWRP, F-Droid or Xposed, MicroG is an icebergy project that needs

- patience (android P is also now emerging),

- an official Google device (Nexus, Pixel), each 2 years (?donations?).

[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
I don't use it but people in noGooLag seem OK. The more paranoid do self-compiling from github sources.
[Android Apps and Games] dic1911:
that's just the admin(t.me/g333k, I'm pointing at you) having emotional and behavioral disorders IMO, and the other group is just a bunch of people trying to save people from there, I once had a disagreement with the admin(g333k) and he banned me and "report spam" on me, his group is just cancerous, and with the other group, people are just friendly, the most important of all, we are free for all opinions, we won't kick you, or randomly flag people spamming here.
[Android Apps and Games] Nosepull:
Well, Magisk, TWRP and so on work and get regular updates, but MicroG no longer works and there is no discernible progress. So I think the question is understandable. I also don't understand the connection to Android P and Nexus devices.

For those of us who don't want Google Apps MicroG provides (provided?) an essential part of the smartphone infrastructure (for what I think we all are grateful), but if there is no solution for the current problems in sight we have to reconsider the options.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
I too am among those considering the options. I'm sure we're not alone.

Shadow53 will you update your website for alternatives to microG?
[Android Apps and Games] Nosepull:
I also do not understand that NoGooLag Telegram group cited a few post ago. Apart from the fact that I do not like the fact that I have to register on a web service just for downloading...

It seems to be a flashable ZIP of MicroG stuff, which is nothing special. But they seem to have updated MicroG, too. What does this upgrade solve, and will it be reincluded in the original repo?
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
The only update in nogoolag microG is the version number of spoofed play services. Marvin has done the same some time before. This is only to stop some apps asking for play services update.
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
Personally unable to concur to your quoted statement. microG perfectly works on all of our devices in their given configuration.
[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
What kind of apps do you use? Some apps ask for update of google service, as others here mentioned before. This might not cause a problem right now but is at least annoying.
[Android Apps and Games] Nosepull:
I have two devices which I installed quite some time ago with MicroG which still work mostly. Some apps, including the simple PushNotificationTester, fail because they want an update of the PlayServices. SafetyNet fails, which is not yet a problem, but given the current developments concerning certified devices I guess this will become a hassle.

The real problem seems to be new devices. Right now I wanted to replace those two smartphones with newer hardware. They are installed from scratch with Lineage-based ROMs. Here MicroG completely fails with push messages, new apps cannot register. The problem is known, it's in the MicroG bugtracker for a few weeks. It is a Google problem. However, there seems to be no real idea how to handle the problem, and no discernible developper activity.

I repeat, I greatly value the efforts of oss developpers. So this is no critique, I just want to know if the fight against Google security measures has to be given up: I consider push messages, PlayStore-access and networ location as must-have for a phone.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Where is "Marvin's" updated version?

The latest update I installed did not solve the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
Did you see the ops name?
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Yes but the latest update I installed did not solve the problem of requesting Google update.

I guess it was only a lineageos update.

Are these the correct instructions to follow?

https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/wiki/Installation

Don't want to screw up my current installation.
