There have been issues with the server that microg.org is hosted on. Marvin has addressed this in the Telegram group:

"Apparently the hardware problems two weeks ago are not fixed yet (the hard drive was replaced, but apparently that's not what caused the problem) Maybe I should set up a mirror for the repo somewhere..."

Conflict between microG and CM13 on Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro

Hi everyone,

I own a my Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro and am running CM13 RC1 developed by [MENTION=6083514]Anik_khan[/MENTION]. I'm experiencing a problem: basically, after every boot or reboot, a popup message "System process is not responding" appears on my screen.

I've tried everything (as you can read here and here), but the problem disappears only if I uninstall microG.

Is this bug related to microG website being down?

Why? Silence is based on texts and not everyone has a text plan.

That drained my battery big time though.

How did you fix it? My OnePlus One has the same issue. Also running Mozilla.
[Android Apps and Games] SilentEYE:
I don't think it's related to the microG site.

Did you try a clean cm installation,patch it with needle mod and afterwards setting up microG as described here in the forum?

Maybe you have some other apps on your phone which are struggling with microG.
[Android Apps and Games] Mokmo31:
From TWRP, I wiped cache, dalvik cache, data, I installed CM 13 RC1 for my Redmi 3 PRO and installed Xposed Framework.

The first time I tried to restore my backup with Titanium Backup but it didn't work, then I made a hard reset from TWRP and restore the data partition from Nandroid, but it didn't work either.

Then, I made a complete wipe (cache, dalvik, data, system), installed CM13 and Xposed, I tried to manually reconfigure microG by setting up F-Droid repository but I found out that the server was down and couldn't download index file. So i restored my system and used another backup app (oandbackup), made the previous steps again and restored my backup, but it didn't work.

That's why I'm stuck with the older ROM, at least everything works.

An odd situation

Hello. I'm a power user, and a fairly skilled one, if I dare say so myself.

With respect to Maps API v1 and v2, yes you can have both installed at the same time.
[Android Apps and Games] Mokmo31:
Since microg website and F-Droid repository are up again, I performed a clean install:

- From TWRP, I wiped cache, dalvik cache, system and data partition

- Flashed CM13 RC1

- Flashed Xposed Framework

- restored Xposed Installer 3.1.1 and F-Droid from Titanium Backup

- Installed the Xposed module Fake G-Apps

- updated F-Droid repository list and manually installed gmscore (0.2.4-22-gcb356d2), gsfproxy and the backends I use (these are the packages I've always installed and that have always worked out-of-the-box)

After rebooting, the error "process system is not responding" came up once again.

Now I'm sure there's something odd between this CM13 version and microG but I have no idea how to solve it.
[Android Apps and Games] SilentEYE:
[MENTION=7397294]Mokmo31[/MENTION]

I am using CM13 with another device.

There are two possibilities :

1. Either your rom or your xposed has a conflict with microG

2. The way you setup is the problem.

You should try once a setup by the way I described before (needle) and don't forget to copy phonesky.apk in the correct folder and set correct permissions.

@Death Mask Salesman

Use the latest nightly of microG

Try once other methods to enable spoofing instead of xposed.

[Android Apps and Games] n76:
I haven't actually looked at the APIs in detail to see if there are conflicts with the signatures or anything, but I've got the API v1 installed (flashed into /system) and microG's GmsCore (which includes API v2) installed as a user app. Some of the apps I have use the v1 API and others use the v2 API and they both work reasonably well.

Hi Marvin,

Requested omnirom dev for accepting the unified Nougat patch but it seems this patch allows every arbitrary app to function as networklocation provider. Is this correct or is signature spoofing also used as a condition for unifiednlp/microg at a deeper level?
[Android Apps and Games] tofu:
I asked SLIM7 dev for exact same thing and he told me the same thing. It seems the patch is a security problem. Isn't there really any other way to make unified location provider to work on nougat?

See here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69522550&postcount=547
[Android Apps and Games] barturblits:
I think the main problem is that google did not protect networklocation services with a specific permission or a signature, like gms. Only by checking if it's a system app. So system app is the most secure option right now.
[Android Apps and Games] GasLoop:
Oh, interesting. I read about a lawsuit where Signal's messages couldn't be encrypted though. So who's to be believed?

In the end there's no completely secure way to chat. If it's a really important matter, you shouldn't use your phone. Hence, as long as there's some good encryption and privacy, one should be fine.
[Android Apps and Games] MaR-V-iN:
[MENTION=5932098]barturblits[/MENTION], [MENTION=6640136]tofu[/MENTION]

The restriction was/is not present in Android 6.0 with latest security updates [1]. Note that network location providers are not granted any additional permissions and thus the only thing they can do to harm the user is to spoof the location, so I hardly see any security-wise risk here. The ability to become a network location provider is also restricted to certain package names by a build time configuration [2].

I also have the strong feeling that the outcome of this restriction is not 100% intentional. The two commits [3,4] adding this restriction are actually titled to make the service "encryption-aware", meaning it is able to work with the new Android 7.0 system of decrypting the device. On Android 6.0, all services were restarted after the encryption key was entered, this is no longer the case in Android 7.0, so some system services were modified to correctly handle this. The first commit only added a flag "MATCH_ENCRYPTION_AWARE_AND_UNAWARE", which probably did not work as intended so they replaced it with "MATCH_SYSTEM_ONLY" in the second commit. I am also unsure if the patch works well (as in, has the desired functionality; it for sure won't cause problems) on encrypted systems, I am not running on Android 7.0 so far and have not tried it myself

I also filled this as a bug to AOSP [5].

Android 7.1 : Testing Report

Hi Marvin,

First congratulations for your marvelous work on microG. I have been using microG since the beginning of the project. I previously was on a Nexus 6 With OmniROM (omni-6.0.1-20160830-shamu-NIGHTLY)

Android 7.1 : Testing Report

This week-end I attempted to switch on AOSP Android 7.1 on a new PixelXL. I have compiled myself AOSP branch "android-7.1.0_r4" build NDE63P and applied patches for "signature spoofing".

Problems :

The AOSP ROM was 98% functional, but migroG crashed every time I go to the "System -> Account -> Google". The registration of the device on the Google servers was OK. The play store (moved to /system_root/system was also functional) But everything that relies on GCM did work correctly (no crash, but no background sync) : tested on "Signal" app principal.

The problem seems to be on GCM communication mechanisms. The "Push Notification Tester" application never-ending test successfully.

Did you plan to ignite the transition to Android 7 for microG ?

Thank you

[Android Apps and Games] ShapeShifter499:
Ok I've tried to use http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.thermatk.android.xf.fakegapps to help signature spoofing but my device bootloops with it installed.

GmsCore, which you did not list, is the component that provides the Google Play services replacement.

[Android Apps and Games] n76:
Yes, the signature for GmsCore is the same as for UnifiedNlp so the F-Droid app gets confused. Look for one from the Microg repository with a version like the one in this attachment.

Now give me " won't run unless you update google play services."....!!

If you have a deodexed framework.jar but you still have the odexed version on the phone probably the new file get ignored.

[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
Moved to "microG GmsCore" thread as it'd be OT in the original thread.

It doesn't require bravery but only the strong will to get rid of all the useless Google services and activities despite the fact that I already succeeded in not selling my private data to Google at all.

First, I'm extremely happy with my GAppsless system - running smoothly generally without any problems and all functionalities! Fixing of the location perfectly runs in all three modes, and in energy saving mode just by WiFi or mobile network even much faster than with GApps; GCM push notifications work; BlankMarket runs as advertised, all installed apps are indicated and available updates, download of apps or updates without problems, and as advertised paid apps or beta versions are not available, BlankStore works with both, my original Google account and a newly created one.

Second, installation was quite easily accomplished by the help of this thread's OP including the retrieving of an Android ID.

Initially, I wasn't able to restore 6 out of my about 100-ish applications by Titanium; a new installation of these applications failed, too. Just by accident, I checked the homepage of one of these apps (Öffi) and realised that one of its requirements was to have a pre-installed Maps Library v1; however, they also offered an AOSP version, which was running without GApps but microG. This was for me the first indication not to have Maps Library v1 but only v2 installed.

I discovered (again) @MaR-V-iN's NOGAPPS Project (NetworkLocation, MapsAPI, Blank Store), downloaded and flashed the Maps API v1 (flashable ZIP). All resistant appilcations were installable afterwards and are running properly.

Conclusion: If some apps can't be installed it's most likely due to missing Maps Library v1.

Thanks very much for the advice. I already made a few attempts to get the "real" Google Play Store to run but unsuccessfully or in other words, the installation of the play store apk always fails. I'm going to further search the web for a possible solution but it isn't urgent. It would be nice if I've my paid versions or donations somehow available e.g. in Amplify.
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
You can manually install Play Store by downloading the latest version from apkmirror.com, rename it to Phonesky.apk and place it in /system/priv-app/Phonesky and change its permissions to 644. Note that you manually have to create this folder called Phonesky and set its permissions to 755. Reboot and you are done.
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
Thank you very much! This is exactly THE solution I've been looking for.:good: Worked perfectly; Play Store is up and running. I've access to all my paid apps and donations - but I'm with microG!:D
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
The solution is checking that you have deodexed all files and then remove from the phone the original odexed files.
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
You can simply download the file to your local computer and rename it. Afterwards, transfer it to your device and use a file manager with root permissions (Amaze File Manager, as you like open source tools ;)) to place it in the correct file direction. You can change file permissions locally on your device by selecting the file and open its preferences. There you'll find an option to change its permissions. Don't forget to save the changes.
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
As far as I know, you can't change permissions of a file on your computer. This has to be done locally on your device.

But you can try to change permissions of the file on your Linux system before placing them on your device. Haven't done this myself, so can't really say if this will work.

Hi, [MENTION=7278151]EugenStanis[/MENTION] can you describe the steps you followed (I'm runnig on CM14.1 too). Do everything work right? I have installed μG as system app (GmsCore.apk, GsfProxy.apk and FakeStore.apk) in order to bind UnifiedNlp service to system, installed F-droid, Apple Backend, MozillaNlpBackend and NominatimGeocoderBackend, gave proper permissions manually, opened μG settings checked everything and self-check reported everything OK (except Playstore of course) and rebooted. After that I can't create a google account. I type in an email and password, but the setup crashes and then there is an account, which when I tap on it Settings crashes, so I can't delete it. If I install Play Store (the original one) as system app, I can log in to my account and it works flawlessly. But if I install Contacts and Calendar SyncAdapter, I can't use them, when I try to set up an account it the setup crashes after a while or it says "sorry...", instead of "Just a sec...".

Just to mention, that is not a clean ROM installation, I wiped system to get rid of GAPPS, then flashed my build with the spoofing patch and after that continued with μG installation.

Edit: After enabled Auto-sync data contacts and calendar synchronized.
