Hey, does enabling Google Cloud Messaging compromise privacy? With other words: Will Google get any data (for example who I'm talking to) if receiving a message (via Kontalk for example)? Thanks...

Anyone got WhatsApp working with GCM on Oreo with this approach? If so, which older version of WhatsApp did you use?
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
I've got WhatsApp running on Oreo without any G. It works OK. Sometimes messages come late.
[Android Apps and Games] Punkiderma:
Disable battery optimization (doze) for WhatsApp and you should receive messages without delays
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
[MENTION=3999488]MaR-V-iN[/MENTION]

There are now a lot of apps that started using Firebase Cloud Messaging and they have become really unstable with microG.

Can this problem be prioritized please?

I humbly second this request.

The author wasn't active for the last three months. I doubt we could expect any update soon unless someone else takes a look at this. Still, keeping my fingers crossed.
[Android Apps and Games] Setialpha:
He's working on 0.3, but time is limited. Stated in a GitHub issue. So, let's be patient.
[Android Apps and Games] rnadomuc:
Is there a GApps removal script like the one in the OP for Oreo?

One of the few signature spoof enabled ROMs for my device ships with GApps.

Also the unofficial installer won't work for me since I want to use NanoDroid.
[Android Apps and Games] oose5:
Yeah it works fine without GCM & disabling battery optimisations. Undesirable however.
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
You can execute the uninstall.sh script from microG unofficial installer stand-alone.

It is here: https://github.com/micro-a5k/microg-unofficial-installer/blob/master/zip-content/uninstall.sh

You just need to...

From the phone:

su
sh uninstall.sh

Or from the pc (it is better if the phone is in the recovery):

adb root
adb shell path/of/the/script/on/the/phone/uninstall.sh

(replace "path/of/the/script/on/the/phone" with the real path)
[Android Apps and Games] rnadomuc:
This seems to only uninstall microG, I don't see anything in here for removing stuff like Google Play Services or anything else that would conflict with microG.
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
microG use (for the most part) the same filename / internal names of GApps so the script is removing both.

GmsCore is the name of Google Play Services.

Look at the part "Or from the pc (it is better if the phone is in the recovery)" (TWRP is a recovery).

You can place the script in the microSD and execute it using adb when the phone is inside TWRP.
[Android Apps and Games] rnadomuc:
Yeah I caught that just before you posted. However when I try to do it in TWRP it tells me permission denied, even though I did adb root right before.

---------- Post added at 01:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 AM ----------

Ah wait nevermind, I was doing ./uninstall.sh

but sh uninstall.sh works
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
Try to use:

adb shell su

and then inside the shell:

sh path/of/the/script/on/the/phone/uninstall.sh
[Android Apps and Games] rnadomuc:
adb shell su will just tell me that su isn't found if I'm in recovery.

My problem was I was doing ./uninstall.sh instead of sh uninstall.sh :)

Thanks for your help.
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
In the future version I will make the uninstaller directly usable from the flashable zip so one can choose if install or uninstall (but there is no ETA since I have many other changes pending).
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
You can remove /system/app/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk

PS: All contacts saved ONLY under the Google account will disappear.
[Android Apps and Games] RobotPhone:
Anyone have success getting youtubetv running with microg? I granted contact permissions for the YTtv app to find my gmail account, but am stuck on 'we can't determine your device location.'

My gps is on, and I granted location permission to the app. I tried with both deja vu and mozilla backends enabled through microg settings; no luck.

Took a log and the following stands out:

03-13 20:56:24.920 D/SafeParcel(3252): Unknown field num 3 in com.google.android.gms.location.LocationSettingsRequest, skipping.

Anyone have any ideas?

google play store

hey guys i am running microg latest version not stable version

google store running perfectly and google chrome sign in.working. its needed for bookmarks sync.

ok so is there any way to download apps from google store. downloading from play store gives error 0. cant download
[Android Apps and Games] barturblits:
Compliments for the fdroid repo. Very slick!
[Android Apps and Games] Draygon:
Thanks, is this the official repo by marvin? Where did you find it?

Would be nice to add the fingerprint.

Thanks so much for your great work marvin!!!

The developer of BubbleUPnP added Chromecast support, which is working without apps. Probably he's able to help you with implenting it to GmsCore... ;)
[Android Apps and Games] herrdeh:
Hello Mar-V-in,

great the microG now is on fdroid and is making such good progress.

I installed the most recent update, now most of my apps are workling nicely, here some findings:

These are working, do display icons (such as "my position", "bus stop", "target" etc) but not the underlying map:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.schildbach.oeffi

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mecomo.idn.atm.de

"Öffis" is a really important app, I think nearly everybody has it...

This app crashes, when the "map" icon is tapped:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hoy.berlin

This app ever first shows the map scaled to the whole world, which has to be zoomed in many steps then:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bahn.flinkster

(but I can't get rid of the feeling that it is quite dirty programming anyway).

Hope this helps for even more perfection.

The link is to a microg.org page and that domain is registered by a Marvin so that is probably official. And the linked page has a fingerprint. It also has a QR code which makes it pretty easy to add the repository to the F-Droid app.

And one side effect of adding that to my F-Droid app was that I found I was running an older version of the legacy proxy support library. It is nice to get notifications of new versions now rather than having to go check periodically.
[Android Apps and Games] CHEF-KOCH:
Still works well even with CM 13. :)
[Android Apps and Games] BatDroid:
noob help

I set up everything... xposed module and etc all.

Now what will I do with it?

download g-play store from somewhere and install it?
[Android Apps and Games] pvdeejay:
Hello,

To give some instructions...

Most likelly you are used to install so called gapps right when you flash your rom of choice to your device.

This package is something what aims to somewhat negate a need to install gapps at all. So instead of gapps you would install MicroG.

MicroG GMS Core currently implements XMPP push messages exchange Google is using for delivering notifications to your device, it also includes maps API v2 which instead of relying on Google maps and related technologies is powered by the open street map data and related libraries.

In the first post or in the wiki there is status of individual components. These two are most developed.

Except of this, MicroG better preserves your privacy, consumes less resources including battery juice etc.

If you would like to get apps from google play you can instal Blank store or you can manually sideload apps for now.

And finally a question for others, is some of you running self-compiled build or a nightly release newer than the v0.2.0 release? I am doing this and except of push notification tester no other apps seem to be registering for push notifications for me. So I would be happy to know if anyone else is getting similar behaviour.

Greetings

Peter
[Android Apps and Games] BatDroid:
thanks hitted.
[Android Apps and Games] 1plus:
so microg 0.2 installed on my gapps-free tablet which is official CM13 nightly build, no custom kernel. Rooted and busyboxed.

on the self check page it reads:

your system does not support this Unified NLP package. Either install a matching package or a compatibility Xposed module.

where do I find this package or module? As for normal xposed unified nlp I actually have it installed already.
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
GmsCore includes UnifiedNlp so you don't need both.

The issue with CM including CM13 is that they are not supporting signature faking which is needed by GmsCore so that it can pretend to be Google. A link to an Xposed module that will allow it is on the first page of this thread. Alternatively, there is a proposed patch to CM13 to fix this. And there is a script somewhere that will pull the appropriate piece of software off your phone, patch it, and re-install it which should work for most distributions.

In your case, since you have Xposed already installed, I'd go for the module linked on the first post on this thread.
[Android Apps and Games] pvdeejay:
Fake Gapps is the thing you are looking for.
[Android Apps and Games] barturblits:
Not all cm based roms lack signature faking/spoofing. I am running cm12.1 temasek for lg g2 build by zg85 and have working signature faking.
[Android Apps and Games] GasLoop:
EDIT: Push messaging is working, Threema is the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] MaR-V-iN:
Contact and calendar sync are not yet implemented as part of microG. It might be possible to add support for them by using some portions of proprietary code. But you might want to consider moving you contacts and calendar to a CalDAV/CardDAV server which can be synced to most systems (OS X and iOS have built-in support, Android via DAVdroid, you favourite desktop mail client likely has plugins as well).

Yes, https://microg.org/fdroid/ is the offical microG F-Droid repository. The apps and the repository are signed using my publishing key. I added the fingerprint to the first post for you to compare.

There is an open-source java implementation of the Chromecast client code, which is likely to become the base for microG Cast support, but it will probably take some time to develop - and I don't have a Chromecast device to test it yet ;)

Nightly updates are pushed to the F-Droid repository as unstable update. You can enable F-Droid to notify you for unstable updates in settings. In most cases nightly updates will not be very problematic, but in rare cases it might happen that they drain battery or sth like that.
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
I concur with this. I found a virtual private server (VPS) provider that only costs me US$20/year with a number of options on what OS to have installed. Setting up a CalDAV/CardDAV server is pretty easy, setting up OwnCloud is also easy (I tried it). Getting your OS X and iOS devices to play with it is child's play as it is built into the OS and Apple makes their configuration pretty easy. It used to be easy configuring stuff on Ubuntu for that (been a while since I've used that as a desktop system). Not sure about CalDAV/CardDAV support on Windows. Getting it to work with Android requires a sync adaptor (I use DAVdroid). With that setup I can share contacts and calendar items between my phone and my laptop. And also between members of my family. Everything is under my control and I have the server setup for TLS/SSL communications so it is private too.
[Android Apps and Games] dic1911:
after reinstall and some tries, i still can't get unifiednlp working properly, microG doesn't detecting the backend i installed, please help and thanks
[Android Apps and Games] vagkoun83:
I found a fruux for syncing contacts calendars and tasks..thanks for you reply..
[Android Apps and Games] elmex1000:
I have to confirm this as well. Or lets put it this way: I haven't found any app that works, except Push Notification Tester. For those who get notifications, can you please provide samples for apps that work for you?

And yes, I am running a nightly build but it didn't work with 0.2.0 posted on first page either.
[Android Apps and Games] pvdeejay:
For me everything is back to normal. Push notifications are working as they should.

My issue was that I was bouncing between my own builds and official builds from the fdroid repo manually.

As I have uninstalled MicroG and reinstalled it, all the push registrations became invalid.

The only app which reregisters on the button pres at its initial screen is push notification tester. So in my case I have cleared data of Matrix Android Console, configured it again and voila, I can see push notifications.

Please note this will only help if you were uninstalling and installing MicroG services core.
[Android Apps and Games] xavihernandez:
[MENTION=3999488]MaR-V-iN[/MENTION] just wanted to tell you that you should remove ug UnifiedNlp from standard F-Droid repo, because it "hides" microG Services Core from your repo. Or package name should be changed or somthing like that.

Did you grant storage permissions to playstore?
[Android Apps and Games] masri1987:
So I have Android auto with microg. I keep getting Google won't run unless you update Google play svcs even when I'm not signed into my Gmail. When I am it won't even load Google play store.
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
Did you check implementation status in microG githib page?
[Android Apps and Games] masri1987:
i just did that but not sure what anything means in relation to the problem i'm having?
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
Row Auto

Column Functionality: None

Column Crashing: Yes

What could that mean in relation to android auto?
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
The notification about "update Google Play Services" usually occurs by my experiences when not the latest microG Services Core is used.

Please check if your microG Services Core is version 0.2.4-108-g464d45d! Unless it is, update your services core.

Most likely you don't require these recommendations but just for completeness two (of serveral) ways how to update the services core:

Download the services core from the microG website. Attention: Do not use the "stable release" but the latest "preview release" (i.e. the one I mentioned above). Rename the downloaded "com.google.android.gms-11951417.apk" to "GmsCore.apk" (without the quotation marks). By means of any root explorer (I'm personally using and very satisfied with MiXplorer), now move GmsCore.apk into the GmsCore-folder at /root/system/priv-app. Check and ensure that the GmsCore-folder has permission "755" granted and the GmsCore.apk permission "644". Reboot.

Unless already available, download and install F-droid. Add the following repository to F-droid: https://microg.org/fdroid/repo. Now check and if required update microG Services Core via F-droid.

Above does not apply to Android Auto as it isn't supported/implemented by microG as stated correctly in the previous post.
[Android Apps and Games] smohanv:
I am using the latest packagage (see screenshot). Still I could not use Google Pay. Whenever I open Google Pay, it is asking me to update Google Play Services.

Should I have to get back to GAPPS Pico.

My device is OnePlus 5 running crDroid customer ROM Oreo 8.1
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
Google Pay, that's certainly a different issue. I'm not using Google Pay and definitely never will i.e. no own experiences her, and I don't know if microG supports Google Pay.

You're obviously rooted and probably even using Xposed. Does your device pass the SafetyNet check? Guess that's certainly required to use Google Pay.

EDIT: Just searched a bit and realised there isn't obviously any "Google Pay" application (not using Google, not aware). I now assume you mean by Google Pay to make either in-app purchases or to buy via the Google Play Store. Our devices don't carry any Google services or applications except the Play Store - and puchases are working (BTW: SafetyNet check negative).

However, I installed microG powered by NanoDroid, and it might be that Setialpha modified the Play Store for these purposes. I believe having once read simething like this. Shadow53 and/or ale5000 might offer something similar. Consider to check their threads/webside.
[Android Apps and Games] smohanv:
I have rooted my device with Magisk and have been using Google Pay until now. Only last night after seeing the goodies of MicroG, I flashed Custom ROM (crDroid has signature spoofing) and flashed MicroG as well. And flagged everyhing in MicroG settings. All my google apps are working including and also Safety Net passes as well.

When I opened Google Pay, it forces me to update Google Play Services and if I click okay, it opens Google Play and downloads Google Play Services and do not install rather in end up in error.
[Android Apps and Games] Mynacol:
The install error is easily explainable with a signature error (because MicroG is signed with other keys than original Google Services).

If every checkmark in MicroG self-test is indeed checked, we have to assume MicroG is fully working.

The newest release of MicroG is always spoofing the latest version of Google Play Services and in the status page regarding APIs is nothing listed regarding Google Pay.

Concluding all the facts, Google Play Services seems to have a new API for Google Pay and if the application requests these APIs and doesn't find them, it requests you to update Google Play Services (which is of course MicroG).

Summary: with MicroG you probably cannot bring Google Pay to work, at least with the current MicroG version.
[Android Apps and Games] smohanv:
Thanks.

Understood. I have to wait for the next MicroG update to bypass the the issue i get.
[Android Apps and Games] masri1987:
sorry let me clarify it's a android MTCD head unit in the car. Operates like android auto but with standard android features. I have it rooted etc. Came with Micro G

I tried the steps and still can't access play store and get the same error regarding google play svcs.
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Feedback after 2 years

microG works pretty well but I (temporarily?) switched back to Google Gapps (OpenGapps Pico + restrictions of Google services thanks to the awesome XPrivacyLua Xposed module and NetGuard).

Thanks to the patched version of Google Play, we can use IAP but the day to day use of microG could be difficult sometimes. Today I want and need a phone that works immediately when I use it. The Play Store that we have to force close very often, Google+ app that doesn't always load the content, some apps that doesn't work at all such as Today Weather... Is it worth the effort? As for me, I don't think so.

I manage apps on the Play Store so I have no other choice than using some of Google services. Yes I could only use my web browser (I highly suggest Bromite) but I don't want to always be logged in to a Google account while browsing (and no I don't want to log in several times a day).

I think it's a shame that MaR-V-iN doesn't post some news from time to time. His last post dates back to August, 2017...

I'm still subscribed to this thread and I hope that things will be improved.

Anyway thanks for this project!
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
Oops. There is a complete eco-system for microG I haven't seen yet:

[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
I don't care giving root access to a trusted app such as AFWall+ but it is buggy and it seems that the dev doesn't have enough time to work on this app (some bugs are there for months or years). Allowed connections are blocked for unknown reasons, unable to send MMS while using a VPN connection, poor quality of logs, rules are sometimes not properly applied... My main issue with NetGuard is that I can't use my VPN (when I need it I switch to AFWall+ though) but websites use more and more HTTPS so it helps a bit.

NetGuard is not perfect but the dev (M66B) does an amazing job. He provides the best support I have ever seen on XDA. Finally the UI of NetGuard with its filtering feature is really confortable. Don't have time to dig into iptables rules...
[Android Apps and Games] Livingsilver94:
I don't mean to be rude nor ungrateful, but is this project dead? There have been no commits since January...
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
It's possible the dev is working on other things, or just hasn't pushed any changes to GitHub. I presume it's a hard thing to try to reimplement APIs provided by Google without looking at the source code for Play Services. People need breaks sometimes, too. With only one main contributor, these can lead to extended periods of time where no new changes are made.
[Android Apps and Games] masri1987:
Micro G is already built into my ROM, it was working fine, then all of a sudden i got these issues with the error msg regarding google play services needing to be updated.

Can you replace play store with yalp store? Maybe by flashing a nogapps package of shadow53?

I am also considering switching back, it seems moving to Oreo has left even more things only partly functional and I have been getting increasingly frustrated with looking for workarounds.

I nearly have zero problems with microG till android 7 on several devices.

Switching back to microG and flashing xposed leads to so many security flaws, that all my previous efforts to use a mostly Google-less and secure system.
