[MENTION=2492996]starbright_[/MENTION] In such a case I begin from scratch. Backub current setup. Wipe system, data, caches. Install ROM, nothing else. Install f-droid from apk. Install yalp from f-droid. Try to reproduce error.

Quick summary of push messaging status

Just to streamline error reports a bit and as this is distributed over so many issue reports in github, here a short summary for push notification status:

Marvin created a patch, that allows most apps to register for push messaging and receive messages. However there is a bug, which will show apps as not registered in microg and not count the messages correctly (but it still works)

Apps confirmed not to work yet: Threema (not showing in registration at all and exception thrown on registration)

If you have troubles please check the following:

you are using newest microg version 0.2.5-12879 running (ale5000 installer is updated and should be very helpful)

you activated google device registration

you get all the green checkmarks in microg diagnostics

nothing is blocking network traffic to mtalk.google.com (e.g. afwall, adaway, ...)

you deleted the app you have troubles with and installed it fresh after updating to microg 0.2.5-12879

you have not used backup solutions, like oandbackup, titaniumbackup, ... to restore app data

You can also use the push notification tester to check. I just tried it and it works.

If you still encounter problems, please consider getting a log (e.g. by catlog) and search the github issues for similar problems.

I am very happy, that Marvin is looking into solving this, hence we all should make it easier using a bit of structure. Thanks.

P.S.: If I missed anything here let me know. :)
[Android Apps and Games] PURJUJU:
Thank you for your answer. I tried to find the old apk with twrp but I can't :(

Do you know where it should be please?

Thank you

Great news, could anyone confirm that WhatsApp is still not working ?

It's the only thing that I need (sadly) that did not worked the last time I tried.
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
WhatsApp works completely without GApps or microG, if you disable battery optimisation for it. Latest gms core has a bug not showing WhatsApp as registered, but people say, they get messages through gcm.
[Android Apps and Games] superzell:
Thanks, I tried a few weeks ago using lineage-os-microg build and yes it does fallback to a pulling method when gcm is not available but battery life suffer a lot and a lot of messages where delayed during deep sleep, even with battery optimisations disabled.

I tried on my galaxy s6 today and whatsapp did not register but oreo on this device is not working well.
[Android Apps and Games] PURJUJU:
Thanks but I have a Nexus 5 now so the arborescence described in the article of this link doesn't match with my current smartphone....
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
Thanks for allowing me to learn something new. I've never owned a Nexus and wasn't aware that the path to priv-apps on Nexus 5 is different than /root/system/priv-apps. I promise to keep it in mind - at least as long as somebody provides all the basic information.
[Android Apps and Games] guest4711:
Ohm, are you sure? Did not see any device where system is mounted in the home directory of user root. So the full pathname of priv-apps should be /system/priv-apps (and the hostfile is /system/etc/hosts not /root/system/etc/hosts).

What do you think how much bounty is needed till someone gets interested solving this properly?

Just donated 35$ so we are at 600$ now :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] SGH-i200:
One developer is interested in getting the bounty:

See 'updates' tab at https://www.bountysource.com/issues/51518216-gcm-fcm-update-needed-for-push-messaging
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
You're absolutely correct; I appreciate you corrected my statement that I'm going to rectify. I was imprecise and ambiguous. Of course I should have called it root directory; however, it also seems to be a matter how an explorer depicts the root directory (please refer to the screenshots). One simply shows the root directory as "/", the other one as "root" (both with the root folder/home directory of user root) "in it".
[Android Apps and Games] DNikola:
I using microg few month..everything working..now i updated microg and no bugs for now.

Google push messages working

Contacts sync working

Gmail sync working

Viber backup working

Whatsupp backup working

All apps are lastest version

:) :good:
[Android Apps and Games] frojnd:
Wait. Are you saying Marvin will update MicroG and we will get working push notifications on our lineageos MicroG versions roms? Hope it's true :)
[Android Apps and Games] herrdeh:
I put a request into the support board of free2move.com - telling them that I cannot see the vehicles to rent in the map. That is what they answered:

They say that they're using google's "places", therefore they cannot support microG (no idea whether that makes sense).

Hope this can be helpful for microG's further development - let me know if someone needs help with German.

Cheers,

Wolf
[Android Apps and Games] chris42too:
I actually don't know who is updating the lineage sources. You should check with that person, if anything needs to be done. The patch is already in the microg sources (with the above mentioned bug)

Is Google Play Music supported now?
[Android Apps and Games] rahul1892:
It always worked for me :p
[Android Apps and Games] PURJUJU:
Thank you for trying to help me to find the GMs apk.

However I'm not sure about what I found. Please see the screenshot.

You can notice in / folder commonly called " root", I actually have a root folder AND a system folder. Inside these 2 folders I didn't find anything interesting. Please have a look at the screenshots.

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] guest4711:
You should have a look into "/system", better into "/system/apps" and "/system/priv-apps", not into "/sys".

And "/system" should be mounted ...
[Android Apps and Games] Cirra92:
So your Viber is working properly, I mean notifications are not late?
[Android Apps and Games] basem_ym:
Did you mount system partition?
[Android Apps and Games] PURJUJU:
Thank you guys for your suggestion. I didn't know that I had to mount system! I think I found the right folder of MicroG. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
Adding to the absolutely correct statements/question of @guest4711 (here) and @basem_ym (here), please have a look at the attached screenshots.

First, don't care about the folder namend root. Second, as already stated, /system must be mounted. If µG was correctly installed/flashed the GmsCore.apk must be located at /system/priv-app/GmsCore. As you see the folder "GmsCore" requires permissions "755" while the GmsCore.apk requires "644". Unless you find the apk at that location, µG wasn't correctly installed. There're quite a few very useful tools around that support the µG-installation pretty easily. Search e.g. for following guys: Setialpha, ale5000 or shadow53.

I have 2 different problem with 2 different APP.

After a fresh installation of Blablalines, during the signup process, the software tell me that it needs to have access to location even if I already allowed access to location and I get stuck at that point

After a fresh installation of YUKA, when open it, I can't signup with my email address neither Facebook. When I click on Next after typing my email, the software keep loading but I can't reach the next step...

Thank you for your help

[Android Apps and Games] n76:
I don't know about Gajim, but you can add the Briar project's repository to your F-Droid app using the info at https://briarproject.org/fdroid.html
[Android Apps and Games] HyperCriSiS:
You don't know what you did but you worked hard? :eek::confused:
[Android Apps and Games] DNikola:
I mean, i do so much things..:D but everything what i need works :D
[Android Apps and Games] clewis.it:
That's sarcasm.

Also, I believe only Oreo ROMs have issues registering for push messages. 7.1.2 should not have a problem with that.
[Android Apps and Games] DNikola:
I don't remember everything..but i had problems with contacts,gmail sync and backup..

Im not fixed everything in one day..i works few weeks that's why i said iscso hard...it's not sarcasm....:o
[Android Apps and Games] PURJUJU:
Hi Chris42, just for info: what's the plan with the founds you collected on bountysource.com please?
[Android Apps and Games] clewis.it:
Sorry, I didn't mean to offend. I thought this was specifically in regard to the push messaging with GCM/FCM. I do understand the struggle to get email/calendar/contacts syncing.
[Android Apps and Games] chris42too:
I actually did not collect funds, this is not how bountysource works. To have that clear: I do not own this money or have access to it. :)

I started the bounty with my first payment. A developer that fixes the issue #439 (as described in the issue) can claim the money from bountysource. That includes my part and anyones who has pledged. Each of the backers then need to confirm, that the issue was solved to their expected result by this developer. The money will then be released by bountysource to the developer.

Right now Marvin made a big contribution to this bug and I try to help him to channel and sort as much information for this issue. I hope he will succeed in squashing the latest bugs as well.

However it would be on him or other developers that contribute to claim the money with bountysource.

Here is a link to the bountysource FAQ, in case someone wants to read up on more questions.

BTW: If Marvin decides he want to do it for free, the backers can withdraw their money and e.g. put it on a new issue they would like to see solved.

Thank you for this perfectly clear explanation :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Exabyter:
Some people use/are interested in microG for performance/battery life reasons.

Personally if I had to give 10 reasons for my interest in microG, the top 8 would be privacy, the last 2 would be efficiency/other reasons. ?
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
Oh yeah, I pretty well know. However, using µG on all of our Android devices for more than one and a half years and initially I also assumed that I wouldn't only enhance my privacy but increase battery duration and performance, too. And at least my personal experiences with µG on Samsung GT-i9305 and SM-G901F are that latter might have slightly improved (if at all) but for battery I clearly wasn't able to observe any positive influence - and I used BBS regularly. All reasons to use µG rest personally for me only in privacy and this includes absolutely no use of any Google applications, cloud storage, contacts, calendars, gmail and so on.

Why does microG communicated to all these in the background? Can someone explain?
[Android Apps and Games] Setialpha:
The first match in Google Search: https://support.google.com/faqs/answer/174717?hl=en
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Thanks. I don't use Google search and the point of using microG is to avoid Google surveillance. So why is microG dialing Google search?
[Android Apps and Games] Setialpha:
It's not dialing google search. I assume you didn't read the linked content?

The link I posted is the first on Google, if you manually search for 1e100.net and it explains what 1e100 is all about.

tl;dr it's harmless, it connects IPs from Google with Hostnames (kinda internal DNS). You're using it in the background with GCM, Google Auth/Login, SafetyNet or Sync.

Is there anyway to add GmsCore to /system/priv-app without getting a bootloop on LineageOS 16.0?
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
Try this
[Android Apps and Games] the.D:
I get the same result. GmsCore in priv-app results in a bootloop on LineageOS 16.0
[Android Apps and Games] Setialpha:
18.0.2 contains a addtional fix for improved Pie support, else only a logcat will let someone help you finding the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] the.D:
I had tried with your new commit 1a0c2e29e162b6dbf82e6d16f5aca67f29ad9942 added. Unfortunately it didn't help. I'll try to take some logs once I find the time.
[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
I have an issue that some apps not display a maps (clever-tanken, bahn, ...). So I guess I miss something there. Is it possible to get that working? As far as I understand there is a map-api in gsmcore included....

Could install microG successfull on a LOS 15.1 device. UNLP works after moving core to /system/priv-app. Selfcheck is all green.
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
There are a few applications that still require Maps API v1; I use some of them, too. Maybe the apps you mentioned require v1. Give it a try.

Different possibilities to get Maps API v1, I'm only mentioning two of them: 1. Check the OP of this thread by MaR-V-iN, 2. use NanoDroid. It's setup wizard also you to select the installation of v1, or you manually administer the setup file.

Remark: Maps API v2 is included by not v1.
[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
I extracted the jar from NanoDroid and give in 644 permission (same as others) in /system/frameworks. It doesn't work for me. I can see that size is much bigger than that 0.5 from Mar-V-in. I'll test that later.

From my understanding Api 2 is included in gsmcore ? What I don't understand is your remark : "Maps API v2 is included by not v1"

Or do I have to install googlemaps?

I can see in log at that moment a Fatal Exception:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke intervace method "android.os.IBinder com.google.android.gms.dynamic.c.asBinder() on a Null pointer reference.
[Android Apps and Games] Mynacol:
The other guy probably meant that the Maps API version 2 is included in MicroG (GmsCore), but Maps API version 1 is not. To get maximum compatibility, you have to flash "Maps API v1" from the attached post. Ideally this fixes your noticed problems.

P.S.: If you only use DB Navigator to search for connections, i.e. don't buy tickets over the app, you can instead use the app Transportr, available at F-Droid.

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1715375
[Android Apps and Games] Rarian:
In my case, 14.1 and microg unofficial installer, DB Navigator works with maps. Maps are however a bit slow.
[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
Thanks guys, for searching connections I use Oeffi from FDroid. But my actual problem is clever-tanken. As a workaround I can show position in any other navigation app, but ... that's a workaround ;). Maybe it is a LOS15 issue. Does someone uses this app or simular one?
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
That's exactly what I meant. As I'm using NanoDroid it's very comfortable as you just tick you want Maps API v1 also to be installed when the setup wizard questions you. And I personally would never install Google Maps; however, just personal preference.

I'm also an enthusiastic user of Öffi, and I also use the F-Droid repo. However, at the bottom of this page here Andreas states that pre-installed Maps Library v1 is a requirement. However, on his download page he also offers a version for people "using a custom Android without com.google.android.maps library".

I don't use Clever-tanken and have no own experiences. The Clever-tanken website doesn't talk about their app but I had a look into the play store. There, I checked the requested permissions and one of them is called "read Google service configuration", whatever this means - I didn't search the web for it. Maybe that's the culprit or it's using something that isn't implemented in µG. Personally, I'm using "ADAC Spritpreise" but I'm convinced it doesn't offer enough to you used to clever-tanken.

EDIT: Just for interest, installed clever-tanken minutes ago. For me, it seemed to work including the map (see screenshots). I didn't restrict any services, broadcast receivers, activities or permissions. However, in XprivacyLua I had to untick (i.e. to allow) location and access to the list of installed applications; all the rest remained ticked i.e. faked/not allowed. I'm on RR-N-v5.8.5, maybe it's really a LOS 15 issue. And uninstalled again.
[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
Thanks, I'll try this.

One more (different) question. I do have apps that are listed in microG for GCM: some are registered, some not. As far as I can see I can disable GCM for the listed app, but I can't force them to register. What exactly means that listed but not registered?

I can't exclude that I installed or recovered with TitaniumBackup an app after installing GCM. I read this should be done the other way around. Can this be the reason?

I would do a deinstallation an reinstallation, but than I lose data in the app, which I want to avoid (Whatsapp - blame on me - for instance).

Will this solved (registering) once an update is installed (so without losing data)? Any other trick?

OT: I did have problems with WA from the beginning. After disabling battery optimization my impression was, it is working. But I am sure at that time it was not listed in GCM. Right now I don't get notification/calls if device is in sleep.
[Android Apps and Games] Apex Predator:
Your best bet is to backup with titanium then uninstall the app. Reinstall it and then do a restore in titanium but select data only. That way GCM sees it as a new app and allows it to register and you get all your data back.
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
You can backup WhatsApp chats in a local folder. Threedot > settings > chats. Deleinstall and install or delete app data and you will loose settings and registration but not the chat contents.

After new registration GCM should work. There is a bug in current microG from Marvin. WhatsApp shows as not registered. But if you tap at that field you get a screen with confirmed GCM messages.
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
@starbright_: First I don't use Whatsapp, never did and won't never do i.e. no experiences at all including functionalities. Regarding GCM, please allow me to reiterate the very true statements by @Apex Predator and @kurtn. Even having only three applications in my app portfolio that I want to receive GCM/FCM push notifications, I clearly know that I must "clean" install them after installation of µG. A restoration of these apps from TiBu won't make them to register with GCM; however, you can always restore only their data from TiBu. And their GCM registrations survive an update/upgrade of µG.

And OT but at least connected to all those FCM discussions: If an app developer takes user privacy seriously and doesn't require to acquire hell of ad funds developers could certainly go an own but rocky road. Interesting article on F-droid: How Tutanota replaced Google’s FCM with their own notification system. And just to mention, FCM contains tracking code delivering data to Google by default unless the app developer takes active action and disables them. And I apologise for double posting as I mentioned this already in the microG unofficial installer thread by ale5000.
[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
Did you install any additional MapV1 api? If so, which one?
[Android Apps and Games] Rarian:
No, I did not.
[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
May I ask: Do you have Magisk installed? Which paket or NanoDroid did you installed? And has the setup wizard to be installed first? Honestly I didn't get it. I want a minimal installation, microG, Fdroid,Yalp, Fakestore (mapv1 if you did this - which one). Thank you!

How can I reinstall system without destroying my setup with many FDroid apps, which are not suffered at all with my problems ...?
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
I apologise for remaining off-topic as this answer might certainly better suited in the NanoDroid thread. @MaR-V-iN, please advise if you want me to ask a mod to move the post to there.

Affirmative, Magisk is installed. Please refer to screenshots for ROM, Magisk, NanoDroid module etc. versions installed. Only NanoDroid µG module installed, not F-Droid module or the full loaded one. Yes, affirmative, I usually run the setup wizard first that installs the .nanodroid-setup file at the location chosen by me. Afterwards I flash the Nanodroid µG module (and if required the NanoDroid patcher that perfectly works with Nougat). For completeness, I attached my .nanodroid-setup file (remark: added the suffix .txt for upload); actually, you don't really require the setup wizard (it's just convenient) as it's easy to create the file yourself by just following the guidance in the NanoDroid Readme respectively the Alter Installation instructions. As you see, I've chosen to get Maps v1 as few of apps in the portfolio require it; and to install Google Play Store. My F-droid is manually installed (from apk), privileged extension as Magisk module. Yalp from F-droid.

For completeness, some information is attached about Google Play Store (disabled services and broadcast receivers, permissions granted [actually nil] by ROM respectively AppOpsXposed, restrictions imposed by XprivacyLua respective access granted).

You asked "mapv1...-which one". Don't understand in the context with NanoDroid; there's only one. If you mean the different versions mentioned on MaR-V-iN here, I'd go with v0.5 from his GitHub page here.

Can you please elaborate your last question as I'm currently unable to recognise the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
Apologyze for my OT post, but I would adress you [MENTION=7408621]Oswald Boelcke[/MENTION] and private messages are not allowed to you :)

I am checking a few microG related threads, probably I lost overview.

As far as I know nanodroid-patcher is without any alternative for odexed ROMs. For all the others there are quite a few options.

Either manually or nandodroid or the inofficial installer. All seems to have pros/cons. I did have a lot of troubles with my first attempts with Magisk/Xposed (which gives most features). To exclude problems are caused by this (as I am not sure wether I need this features) I went back to simples addsu and manuell installation. Nevertheless this doesn't help completly, while my biggest problem is notification via (blame on me) Whatsapp, although I am not sure it uses GCM at all or even implements an propriatary messaging service.

I just stuggle with certain instabilities, but that might even cause by the beta LOS 15.1 of Galaxy A3. Hard to find root cause.

The most terrible thing for me, that I have an almost completly setup mobile and beginning from scratch is a one day job - putting all the apps-logo to startscreen takes a lot of time. I spend already a few days with all that and have the feeling not to understand what I am doing :( Sorry for whine
