The ROM I'm on now doesn't have cLock so I use Chronus, a good alternative.

But even on ROMs without microG I'm having issues with cLock's weather. SlimSaber (LP), for instance, just not working. Not sure why. So again Chronus to the rescue. Plus it includes AccuWeather which turns out to be more accurate than the other two services.

Now I have all the backends offered in f-droid installed. All boxes in microG checked good. Still...neither maps.me nor OSMand can "find my current position" without gps on. I thought driving around a little might help it but no.

[Android Apps and Games] n76:
For both the Apple and Moxilla backends you will need an active Internet connection. And they both only update their location when a change in WiFi/WLAN APs or cell/mobile towers is detected. So if you have a stable list of APs and towers seen by your phone UnifiedNLP will age out the location.

Any backend will have issues if it has insufficient data to work with. Apple and Moxilla use different methods of gathering AP and tower information data and have different coverage in each area. Sometimes the difference is minor, sometimes it is quite striking.

I have all the backends installed but usually only enable one. If things are acting strangely, I find the SatStat app quite useful in showing both the GPS and network based location. I can switch around which backend I am using and see the different results.

I use Davdroid to sync contacts and calendar information with a Caldav server I have set up on a cheap virtual private server (VPS). The server I use is a bit fiddly to setup, but I understand you can do the same thing with OwnCloud nowadays.

---------- Post added at 07:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 AM ----------

Hmmm. Works for me, so something is different.

The Apple and/or Mozilla backends need to have a data connection and they need to have information about the APs and towers in your area. Don't know how Apple gets their data (I can speculate) but Mozilla gets it from people running the Mozilla Stumbler. You can get a feeling for the coverage in your area by looking at their website.

The on-phone database driven local GSM backend needs to have a tower database downloaded first and since the Open Cell ID folks have has issues making their ZIP files recently that means using Mozilla as the source so it will have the same coverage issues as Mozilla.

The on-phone WiFi backend builds up its database by listening to the GPS so, at least initially in the areas you frequent most, you will need to have the GPS on so it can learn your area. Unless you find someone else in your area who will give you a copy of their database by exporting it from their phone as a file.

Since I have iCloud contacts up-to-date I will use iCloud sync instead because I tried with your option but it doesn't work for me ???

I took it from apk mirror, moved it to system/app and changed permission but nothing
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
Ah, I see.

I installed the sync adapters but didn't have to move them to system. Once I created the Google account contacts and calendar started syncing immediately.

If I weren't "retired" from computing I'd setup something local or cloud-based, too. Too lazy to set things up via phone.

Thank you mate, the problem was with permissions of sync adapter, I had to manually give permission to contacts. Deleted and added again Google account and it works excellent.

Thank you so much friend. The same with permissions was with my paid flightradar24, I had to manually add location permission since there wasn't any prompt. Most probably the mechanism is missing for that.

I'm experiencing a drain from microg. Is this due to the mobile radio active bug?
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
According to the second screenshot it doesn't look like there's a problem. Did you see that after waking the phone? Very minimal CPU and wake time (not even a minute). Maybe I'm missing something.

I had a similar reading but during normal use microG was at the bottom of the list.

[Android Apps and Games] Bedhead911:
I finally figured it all out. Hopefully this helps others.

I'm using the official play store instead of the blank store with microg gmscore. I did this by installing pico gapps from opengapps and removing everything but the play store using a system app remover. The problem after that was that google play thinks I'm using an old android version so I can't install newer apps (for me it was for Pokemon Go :)

I downloaded the android-checkin source code from github in zip file and modified the two sdk version lines in the checkin.java file from 19 to 23.

- data.add(new BasicNameValuePair("sdk_version", "19"));

+ data.add(new BasicNameValuePair("sdk_version", "23"));

- .setSdkVersion(19)

+ .setSdkVersion(23)

sdk 19-20 is kitkat

sdk 21-22 is lollipop

sdk 23 is marshmallow (what i'm using)

make sure you pick the right version for your system

What you need to do after that is install maven. (I'm running linux)

Navigate to the project directory (android-checkin-master) in terminal and type down

mvn clean compile assembly:single

After that maven will do its thing and you will have a "target" folder

navigate into that target folder in terminal

and run the code

java -jar android-checkin-1.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar <email> <password>

I don't know if all my steps are correct since I'm not a programmer, but this is what worked for me.

everything else should be the same as mar-v-in's instructions. You should have a fully functional play store that includes apps that require higher sdk versions than 19.

I installed microG GmsCore, GSF, and UnifiedNlp on Omni ROM 5.1.1. They have been set up correctly.

I installed official Play Store as user app. It was partially working. Apps can be downloaded but installation failed. Uninstall button on app's page is not working.

After I converted Play Store to system app, it began to work. It seems that Play Store needs to be installed as system app to gain higher privileges to install/uninstall apps.

Is there any way to make Play Store working even though it is installed as user app?

[MENTION=4443824]mandayugana[/MENTION], I don't know about getting Play Store working as a user app. There's no need though to install the apk and then fuss with making it a system app.

Theme Ready Google Apps AROMA package will allow one to flash Play Store as a system app.

That works for me and the app behaves properly on my microG setup.

[Android Apps and Games] ChristianTC:
Hello

I'm using GSMLocationService it works well.

I wanted to ask whether NominatimGeocoderBackend is working?

It is necessary mapsapi.flashable to make it work NominatimGeocoderBackend?
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
mapsapi is independent of the Nominatim backend, it provides v1 of the Google maps API for older apps that still use it.

At present the Nominatim backend is not working as it uses a service that now requires a per user/developer API code which the backend does not support. If you look at the bug reports for the backend there is a pull request for a change that would allow you to enter an API code (which you'd still have to get from the provider). And, I think, there is someone who has given a link to a build with that change applied.
[Android Apps and Games] ChristianTC:
Thank you very much, it has been a response very well explained.

There are some other backend for the second option from UnifiedNlp Settings Address lookup?
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
Not that I am aware of.

I took a look at the API OsmAnd and Maps.me present through their respective manifests hoping for something that I could use to make a on-phone only geocoder backend but did not see what I thought I needed. On phone would be nice for me as I normally have data turned off so any one that uses external servers only works for me when I have a WiFi/WLAN connection.

I have noticed some geocoding library stuff being added by MaR-V-iN to the microG repository, so maybe he has something he is working on.

But at present, I don't know of a working released geocoder backend. What I am using is the patched Nomenatim backend which I built myself.
[Android Apps and Games] ChristianTC:
I can patch Nominatim?

There are some tutorial to patch Nomenatim?
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
That had been me, though I can't for the life of me find the original upload. Since people have been asking about it, I'll upload it again. It should be attached to this post.

IIRC [MENTION=3999488]MaR-V-iN[/MENTION] doesn't like the idea of requiring users to create a developer API key just to use the backend, but until a suitable replacement is found I figure this will work. I'm not the author of the patches used, I just happened to figure out how to build the project :D

To get the API key, you'll need to sign up for a developer account with MapQuest here. They should send you a confirmation email after successful signup that contains an API key. Just copy/paste or type that into the text field in the Nominatim settings and you should be good.
[Android Apps and Games] ChristianTC:
Thank you very much, I have registered on the website

It has not reached me anything email

the website shows the key as Consumer Key?

I'm using UnifiedNlp with Gapps, I have removed access to internet to Google play Services

Which is the functionality from NominatimGeocoderBackend?

As I can use it to see if it works well?

I searched the address of a contact that opens with Here Maps but it works equally without NominatimGeocoderBackend.

It is only for apps that use OpenStreetMap?

Did you grant storage permission to play store (assuming you are on android 6)? You might be required to do so manually. Apps that use obb files can only be installed when play store has storage permission granted.

Since the last update (nov 17th) google maps has problems activating the location services. No gps icon appears. Have to first activate gps with nokia here or a similar app. Do not know if its due to a change in gmscore or maps (maps was also updated near that time). Cannot find verbosity about gps processes in the logcat. Running cm12.1 temasek with gmscore, gsf proxy and blankstore.
[Android Apps and Games] wkwkwk:
Same here, I had to downgrade to an old version of maps.

Furthermore, Uber broke on cm13 although it works on 12.1.

Logat says before crashing: "security exception gps location provider requires access_fine_location permission".

I'm thinking it may be related to the maps issue and microg doesn't have the permission defined correctly for marshmallow?

Hi everybody,

big hug to Mar-v-in and everybody, who's concerned in that marvellous work.

I installed gCore on Huawei y300, Slimkat 4.4.4., GAPPS free, clean install.

Location services are working, fake store does, and I get the maps services into many apps which didn't work before on a GAPPS free Phone, such a Deutsche Post, DB Navigator, ebay Kleinanzeigen etc.

My licensed version of "Windfinder" is operational again due to fake store - all that is really great!

One minor issue:

Several apps (Geldautomaten, CameraMX, Öffis-google) now won't install, logcat throws something like

"unavailable shared library com.google.android.maps"

What can I do? - will flashing the mapsapi do the trick? - Would this one be the right one? - github - mar-v-in/MapsAPI (sorry, I'm not yet allowed to post links)

Cheers - and carry on!

You may not have an app that uses the geocoding back end.

None of the map or navigation apps I've tried seem to use the APIs this back end provides data for.

The only app I have that uses it is a weather widget. The setup for the widget requires it to look up the lat/lon if you give it a city or the nearest city if you give it a lat/lon.

Hello friends, need little advise from you guys. I'm using CM13 on LG G4 without gapps. I'm new so don't really understand how microG would be useful for me.

I use few apps for which I need Play Store or some alternative. I have to use aptoide or apkmirror to download apk's. With aptoide it's bit easy to update the apps as they have their own android app but still there are security concerns, like anyone could tamper the app and upload. Secondly I miss google maps, contacts backup, even whatsapp backup. I'm using OsmAnd for maps but it's gets stuck and can't find my location. Google maps were easy and smooth.

In all above cases would microG be useful for me? I don't want to link my phone with google account and don't want google to track all my activities. I've read that microG is more secure and privacy concerned. How would microG help in my case. Sorry for asking very basic question and any help is highly appreciated. Thanks.

I guess this is related to https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/issues/168

It might be that Tapatalk updating to latest play services / firebase lib version would fix this issue, but I will see what I can do.

1. You log is flooded by error messages caused by some Xposed module. You should really check this, because it will drain your battery.

2. Either the problem is Duo uses DroidGuard (some sort of DRM system to ensure the system has not been modified beyond certain limits) or it refuses to connect because the LIGHTWEIGHT_NETWORK_QUALITY service is not provided by microG. I will try to provide a dummy network quality service for testing soon.
