Hey guys,

I've tried to get CrDroid 7.0 (Android 11, signature spoofing included) working with MicroG and flashed latest Nanodroid and also latest MicroG files in a second atempft. After flashing Nanodroid rom didn't boot (bootloop), having MicroG files flashed rom booted but MicroG settings crashed all the time. I've also tried to find an adequate "Play Store patched" compatible to MicroG and Android 11, but I was not successful.

Does anyone know whether it's possible to get MicroG working fully on Android 11? If so, can anyone give me an instruction how to manage that?

Thanks in advance...

I've managed to make MicroG work on Android 11 (MSM Extended) not via Nanodroid, but by directly installing the apps. Here's what I did :

- Flash ROM

- Flash Magisk

- Boot, initial setup

- Enable signature spoofing

- Reboot

- Install - microG Services Core, microG Services Framework Proxy, microG Droidguard Helper, Deja Vu, Nominatim (via F-droid)

- Enable all permissions for microG

- Sign in

- Enable registration, GCM, location modules

Profit!
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
Same here with Samsung S5. Lineageos 18.0 on other devices has no force close problem, but no signature spoofing.
[Android Apps and Games] Sc4r3Crow:
Thanks for your reply. Have you also been able to use Play Store (paid apps)?

Edit: Tried it, MicroG seems to be working fine. My only problem is the lack of server synchronization, my purchased apps aren't shown as purchased. I've also tried the workaround mentioned on NanoIx homepage, but no success with that....
[Android Apps and Games] The_Overthinker:
Well this method of mine is not that elegant.

Now, for just paid apps I use Aurora store, where I just login via my Google acc.

However, this does not work with apps that check for license (For eg, FKM).

So here's what I do :

- Download latest minmicrog-standard.zip

- Extract patched playstore (PatchedPhonsky). You'll find it in system/priv-app.

- Install it.

- Go to your settings and provide the Spoof package signature permission to Play store.

- Now you'll have to convert Play Store into a system app. I personally use App Systemizer module from Magisk. Systemize it to system/priv-app.

- Reboot.

- Open Play Store. If you've done everything correctly uptil now, it should open up.

HOWEVER, your paid apps will NOT show.

- Now follow the necessary step in the nanolx issues documentation (the one for paid apps not showing, the Android ID registration one).

- Clear cache for playstore. Reboot.

Now here's the deal. Your paid apps will still not show up. But, should you install FKM from Aurora, it will detect the license from Play Store. I've tried this method with Poweramp pro and FKM, it works.

What I personally do is keep Play Store disabled normally. When I need to install paid apps, I use Aurora. When I need to install a paid app that needs a license check, I install it from Aurora, enable and open Play Store, then open the app. It checks licence, and then I disable Play Store again.

I hope I was clear enough. It's a long, drawn out and ugly process, but it works for me. Cheers! :laugh:

Hell yeah! Sorry I never ended up testing it, but I'm glad you ended up finding a way to get it working. Now I'm even more motivated to install A11 now that I know I can get microg working.
[Android Apps and Games] Sc4r3Crow:
Actually it was a tip by [MENTION=5464629]The_Overthinker[/MENTION] so you can thank him ;)

I knew about Xtended because I've been using it a year ago, but I didn't have it in mind this time all the time...

Now I have to figure out how to get Play Store working as intended and I'm ready to go for and stay with Android 11 permanently.
[Android Apps and Games] Sc4r3Crow:
Thanks for your helpful tips. I gave it another shot today and everything is working fine now, I have all my (purchased) apps...:good:

Phone modding crisis underway. I am going away for a week tomorrow and I need to fix my phone before I leave. I keep getting error 126 in TWRP when I flash the latest microG installer revived on my guacamole running Havoc OS. Apparently the internet has never heard of error 126 and I have spent many hours trying to fix this and have now hit rock bottom. Any help on what this error means and how I can proceed would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Andrew

I haven't used a flashable installer in a while, so can't help you fixing the installer.

But getting it work right now, you could grab the gms core apk from the installer, move it manually into /system/priv-app/somename and set the permissions to rw-r-r.

Then just install the others apps as normal user Apps and you should be good to go I'd guess.

This is MicroG thread. For problems with a specific installer (which one?) Ask there, or try a different installer. Isn't "installer revived" a mgisk module? Why flash it in twrp?

Hi there, I am using Iodé.os with Galaxy S9. Working great. I just wanted to report , that my tom tom vio navigation app is not working with this rom. The developper said, that this depends on the microG implemantation, and I should report this issue to you. If it doesnt work...it doesnt work...its no big deal for me, just a nuisance. Thanks....
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
I don't know that OS. Do you have a link? Is microG included? Can you post a screenshot of self-check?

The iodé project sounds really good. I'm sure they made no error in microG implementation.

I don't see toro tom in problematic apps either. Can you try to run that app with microG disabled?

Can you find out: does vio use the non implemented android auto api?

xdaforums.com/galaxy-s9/samsung-galaxy-s9--s9-cross-device-development/rom-iodeos-lineageos-17-1-microg-t4170059

Thanks for your reply. The Tom Tom Vio app is a navigation app that gets mirrored to a secondary display that is mounted on my scooter. The display says that it is connected, the app says the opposite: cant connected. This didnt change after I deactivated microG. So this is not the cause for the problem.

Can you find out: does vio use the non implemented android auto api?

How can I find this out?

Maybe you can see something on logcat while the phone tries to connect.

I have been using MicroG recently, installed through Magisk with the MicroG installer revived module in an Android 10 Resurrection Remix ROM and every single time I try to open Uber it crashes, also sharing location is broken, I can't share my location through Whatsapp, Signal nor Telegram, Whatsapp says I'm in the middle of nowhere when I share my location though before pressing the button to share it it locates me correctly, with Signal I get located correctly but can't send the location (maybe is Signal's problem?) and Telegram just hangs forever when I click on the location icon. Google Maps works OK, also does OsmAnd. GPSTest also gives my location correctly. I have installed FakeGApps through EdXposed.

I have noticed that under MicroG settings I can't enable background location and receiving SMS permissions, I also tried enabling those permissions with App Manager but they disable themselves when I close the app. any one else with these problems?

I have another phone with Android 7.1.2 (LOS 14.1) and MicroG installed exactly the same as the one with A10 and there Uber opens and works normally, I can order a ride but the moment the phone leaves the WiFi connection the location gets buggy and Uber acts like there is no service taking place and ask me if I want to order a ride (I already ordered one that's why the phone left the WiFi connection in the first place). It's super weird.
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
Just a very, very personal opinion as the MicroG installer revived Magisk module has been mentioned quite a few times, usually connected with some issue. I'd personally never use this module and even just due to the aggresive, demanding and impolite way how it's self-advertised in its description.

Gladfully, I always succeeded with my "traditional" way to install µG on all of our devices for years, and I'm not going to deviate this path.
[Android Apps and Games] thomas2403:
I had the same problems, you can fix it as described here:

https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/issues/1099#issuecomment-666566285

Since I was using LOS, I went to LOS for microg and everything works without any problem.

microG wants to draw over other apps

Hello all,

First and foremost thanks a lot for developing this precious app.

I have a question related to the last upgrade. I have 0.2.12.203315 installed and F-Droid proposes to update to 0.2.13.203915. When I do, I see that this new version also asks permission to "draw over other apps".

I'm kinda paranoid about this permission. Why is it needed? What is it used for? Is there a way to install the update but avoid giving this permission, eg via XPrivacy?

For the record I'm still stuck with Android 5.1 if that makes any difference.

Thanks a lot for any element that can help me answer the above questions, take care!
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
I apologise that I don't remember how and where you could manage permissions on Android 5.1. Please refer to the attached screemshots that show where to find this permission on LOS 16.0 and to grant/inhibit it per app. I've never seen that µG used this permission, and I just went with the default setting as I absolutely trust [MENTION=3999488]MaR-V-iN[/MENTION]. In addition, µG has many users and I've never seen a report about a evil or suspicious behaviour of µG (opposite to my own observations with Google Play Services and applications). My assumption is that µG carries this permission because GMS does it too.

Remark: Although I also used XPrivacy I don't remember if it can be helpful; best to ask [MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION].

I would appreciate to know,

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
Taptalk is no known problem app

https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Problem-Apps

What do you mean with buffer?

Do you want to remove microG only or also install GApps?
[Android Apps and Games] patrickdrd:
there are a ton of apps that are problematic and are not in this list,

this page is useless in my opinion,

I have 15 issues open and nobody seems to care,

didn't even add my reported apps to problematic apps:

https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/issues/created_by/patrickdrd

anyway, gapps are way more fine it seems than microg,

I'm a disappointed user, sorry
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
For changing to GApps you need a clean flash. That for sure removes all microG components.

I wouldn't want to setup from scratch so I'm staying with 0.2.12 for now anyway..

I flashed crdroid and gapps, but now would like to try microg; what would be the best way to get rid of gapps while retaining data (fdroid app data/magisk config)? Id prefer not to have to reflash and restart everything all over again.

Thank you.

Edit: I'm aware I can flash nanoxl, but for the most part all I've seen are issues.
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
Don't try that. You will run into the same issues as with nanodroid. MicroG is no 100 % GApps replacement. It helps to fix one or two issues in a GApps free setup.
[Android Apps and Games] lebr0n:
hi guys,

i updated my rom (still in android 10) and lost microG again.. i had to reflash it and then use adb shell to make changes in runtime-permissions.xml for the last missing permissions to work (thanks to user aqq123, who posted about it earlier telling which value the flags required).

is there a way to avoid this in my future upgrades? somehow ensure microG stays "untouched"?
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
That's not a Problem oft the microG APP, but oft your Installation Method. What do you flash? And maybe your ROM's update script does not interpret the addon.d correctly. In that case a recovery log can help your custom ROM developer.
[Android Apps and Games] lebr0n:

[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
Do you think, you see the bug setialpha mentioned? You only lost microG? You haven't lost all the other things nanodroid installs?

i just lost microG, everything else was fine.. reflashing wasn't a problem either.. it's the missing permission(s) after re-installing. i have to change the flags in runtime-permissions.xml via adb shell for the last permissions to work.

i tried uninstalling the missing microG in recovery before re-flashing, too, just in case the previous installation wouldn't interfere with the new one..

Stock SMS messaging and k9 mail from f-droid do not use Google cloud messaging. So no microG issue. Could be a problem with extreme battery saving.

I'm having an issue with no network location in unified nlp:

My device is a XIAOMI Redmi Note 8T (willow) running the lastest LOS4MicroG android 10 build with services core 0.2.14..

In the microG self check all boxes are checked, all nlp providers (dejavu, mozilla and gsm location modules) have the required permissions ..

Right now I'm a bit helpless what I should do to solve this issue ..

Btw: I've granted the gms-permissions manually via adb, but even after that no success

willow:/ # pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
willow:/ # pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
willow:/ # pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION

So hopefully one of you guys have additional tips/ideas ..

Thanks in advance :)
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
So you see no location at all in any navigation app?

Déjà vu needs satellite location to build a database.

Mozilla has maybe no data in your area?

Gsm needs a local database. Have you downloaded?

Have you enabled the back ends?

Are iPhone users in your neighbourhood? Install apple back end.
[Android Apps and Games] 2faraway2:
Sorry, forgot to mention that I'm not new to microG ;-)

I've done all of your suggestions and some more devices (Samsung, Sony and even XIAOMI) in our household do not have this behaviour...

There's also an issue in github, but so far no solution ... but that doesn't mean, that there isn't a solution ;-)

Anyway: Thanks for your quick reply @kurtn
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
So you know the difference between satellite and network location and check it with SatStat. Sadly SatStat is not really reliable with android 10. Try local gsm only and osmand. Does it show a wrong location before getting satellite fix?
[Android Apps and Games] 2faraway2:
Good tip, I'll try that tomorrow, right now we have horrible weather outside .. ;-)

Local wifi (wifi location service) should work as well I assume .. ?
[Android Apps and Games] 2faraway2:
So, I tested it with osmand and the app gpsfix as well.

No 'lock' with network provider (means osmand show no position until the gps fix), only with gps

In gpsfix there is the part 'android network provider', where you normally would see the position of the nlp services (like gsm oder wifi), which - in my case- shows nothing except the world map ...

To sum up: location services don't work with microG with this device (at least with the mentioned custom rom build)
[Android Apps and Games] 2faraway2:
Seems I've solved the issue:

Installed all location provider (gsm, wifi, mozilla and dejavu) as user app 'over' the location provider build in the rom (LOS4microg).

This 'extra mile' resulted in the the proper permission queries for the nlp providers et voila:

All location providers are working without any prob, even satstat shows the desired blue circle .. :)

Maybe this method is useful for others with similar issues ?
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
Now I'm a

Thank you for sharing. But now it confused. Are the 4 back ends now part of Lineage.microg.org or did you flash an additional microG installer?
[Android Apps and Games] 2faraway2:
Jipp, I flashed an addional installer (minimal MicroG Pack NoGoolag Edition) via Magisk.

So it's not an issue of the rom itself, but imho of this installer ...

Sorry for confusion, hopefully this clearifies the initial situation

Hello - didn't follow discussion here for some time. Sorry. Not sure it has been handled before.

One question: Is there a good reason that FDroid version of microG (recent is 0.2.15.204713) contains a unifiedNLP 2.0.alpha6 while 2.1 seems to exist? I come to that info about a bug here:

cell tower based location is delayed by 30s, valid for just 5s and again not for 30s · Issue #1196 · microg/GmsCore

This location (I use GSM location service) is with newer GmsCore delayed. I SatStat I have to wait for 30s until I see the rough estimated blue location. This keeps blue for 5 seconds, and becomes ...

[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
I've upgraded to µG v0.2.16.204713 yesterday or the day before yesterday; however, didn't check if that came with 2.1 as I don't have any location issues.
[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
I think this is just happened if you have "rough" position (no GPS / energy saving).

I misunderstand the report, it is not that newer versions will work, but older. At least in this term. No idea whether this is due to unifiedNlp or complete microG as I can't test it independent of each other.
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
Here you go...
[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
Same version that I use. At least I know I am not alone with that issue that rough position is only visible for 5s out of 30.

I cannot confirm that issue. I've permanently a "rough" / network position.

[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
With different devices I have problems with network based location. I am a bit clueless about it. I am wondering whether not complete spoofing might be the reason for that.

Just let me tell you what I have done - maybe you have an idea.

I switched a Tab S5e to LineageOS 17.1 (official). Installation LOS+Magisk works well. Installation of microG/framework/UnifiedNLP backends are done via FDroid. The ROM wasn't spoofed, but I found a script doing that some month ago, but I forget where I found it. (I attach it).

MicroG selfcheck is all green, the backends are GSM location service and Radiocells.org Unified Network Location Provider backends. Both have downloaded databases for my country. But in both SatStat and OsmAnd I don't get a "non-GPS" position.

I could ask other way around - how do you spoof?
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
@starbright_ I apologise that I'm unable to assist. Our devices are on LOS 16.0 or below, and I don't intend to go beyond Pie.
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
You don't need signature spoofing for NLP. Since android 6 or 7 location provider has to be a system app. That's why all those flashable microG installers have been developed. In android 10 SatStat has a problem triggering NLP. OSMand get's location immediately.

You have magisk. There is a systemized module that does the job. Systemize gms
